pippa's fundraiser for Compassion for Cats

pippa ashton is raising money for Compassion for Cats
“Successful rescue of stray cat”
We are a small and perfectly formed cat rescue centre based in Oakhill, Somerset. We adore all the cats in our care, from the work/flea-infested strays and the timid feral, to the lap cats; we treat them all with the respect, love and patience they need. Have children, near a road etc. contact us!

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For 9 months we have been gaining the trust of a stray cat outside our home. A middle aged lad with very few teeth who soon learnt that he would get a regular meal from us, despite being terrified of humans.

This week we finally caught him. Got him neutered... but then THE DEVASTATING news... he was FIV positive. If we couldn't find him an indoor home then he would have to be euthanased. Our hearts broke. All this for it to end so sadly. Who would adopt a feral, scared cat with FIV?

But thanks to Noahs Ark rescue, we were put in touch with Judy and her team at Compassion for Cats! The team at Medivet Wheatley covered half his vet bills and we covered the rest. Today we drove him to his new home today. 5 hour round trip. Totally worth it see how happy he is going to be!

We were so touched that so many people wanted to help him. But seeing the wonderful home he has with other FIV cats and being given a chance at a safe and happy life, made me realise how much Compassion for Cat's must pay out in food and vet bills. 150 cats being looked after till they can be rehomed. Some will never be able to leave and will live the rest of their days being cared for there.

That's why I want to raise money to help them care for "Fat Cat" (Now renamed Onslow) and all the other cats and kittens they are helping. And that is where I ask for your help if you are in a position to do so. A little donation towards food, toys, litter, vet bills etc...
