As a volunteer fosterer I look after up to 8 cats at a time. Emily who is pictured with me is 15 and lost an eye and fractured her jaw in a car accident. Her owner sadly passed away so came into my care; I have just found out she has developed a serious condition and needs special love, care and medication. She is just one story, each cat in my care comes with their own sad tale. Emily has now found her Forever Home and is enjoying being treated like Royalty.

Knowing the cost of looking after the cats I want to raise funds for my branch, Forest of Dean so we can continue our excellent work and help more cats. Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity. Our vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs. Cats Protection has simple and clear objectives to help cats:

Homing - Finding good homes for cats in need
Neutering - Supporting and encouraging the neutering of cats
Information - Improving people’s understanding of cats and their care

Achieving this vision is only made possible due to kind cat lovers who support our work. Visit www.cats.org.uk for more information.
