This year our fundraising volunteers are working harder than ever to cope with the demand brought about by the continuing cost of living crisis. Sadly, again this year has seen another dramatic rise in the number of cats and kittens needing our help, and more so than ever before.

Our Christmas Raffle this year has 25 fabulous festive prizes available to win. First prize is a fantastic luxury food hamper, full of booze and festive food; second prize is a mega treat for the cat in your life - a 'purr-fect' hamper of feline goodies; 3rd prize is a Marks & Spencer Gift Card and there are also lots of other fabulous prizes up for grabs, including cuddly toys, luxury toiletries, chocolates, wine, Christmas socks and more …...…

To be in with the chance of winning a 'purr-fect' Christmas prize, please follow the instructions below to buy your tickets for our Christmas Raffle and help cats at the same time!

Tickets are just £1 each. To enter online there is a minimum payment of £2 so you will receive two entries to the raffle draw. (Please note this is set by Just Giving and we cannot change this).

Just click on the 'Donate Today' button to buy your tickets i.e. a £2 donation = 2 tickets, a £5 donation = 5 tickets or a £10 donation = 10 tickets.

Just Giving will direct the funds to our charity and we will enter your name and ticket numbers into our raffle draw automatically.

The raffle prizes are numbered 1-25. The first ticket drawn on the day will win prize no.1, the second ticket drawn will win prize no.2 and so on.
