Cherwell's Cherwell Cats Protection - helping a poorly feral colony
Fundraising for Cats Protection
Story
We are your local cats protection branch - Cherwell 😺
Our main aim is to help cats in our local area. Most of the cats we help are stray, abandoned or need rehoming through no fault of their own.
However on occasion where needed we help out within the feral community. Where we will trap, neuter and release feral cats so they can live happier, healthier lives in the comfort of their own farm or stable yard. Their lives matter too 😺
We received a phone call from a lady who needed help with a large feral colony who were not at all well. She believed there were between 25-30 cats not all were feral. We went out to assess the situation to see which was the best course of action and with what we saw, we knew we had to help somehow. The cats were beautiful but were severely dehydrated, lethargic, full of worms & most suffered with cat flu. We found a mum with 6 tiny kittens hiding in a container and a black female cat (now named Hope) collapsed in the long grass. It broke our heart - we are of course going to help the cats but we need support. We have enough man power to catch and neuter these cats but we really need help financially. Each and every cat must be blood test for FIV/ Felv, neutered, wormed, flea’d and must have antibiotics. Hope will need to stay in the vets overnight on a drip as she is struggling, we are sure she will not be the only cat that needs treatment.
The cost range for each cat is 120-250 pounds depending on the severity of their individual case. With overnight stays costing an extra 50 pound.
We are pleased to say many of these cats are very friendly so we will be looking for suitable homes for them once they have been caught and are well.
We have set our target at 600 which should allow us to treat 5 cats we hope to raise more but we really appreciate any support you can give, we cannot function without you.
All funds raised above and beyond those needed to help this colony of feral cats will be used to help the other cats in the branch’s care.
