Donations

Although CP is a national charity, each volunteer branch is largely self sufficient, and relies on donations and support from people in the local area for its continued progress. Salisbury & District Branch is a particularly busy one, and we rehome up to 500 cats each year!

As an organisation we focus on caring for or rehoming lost or abandoned cats, and we ensure that each cat is cared for, vaccinated, microchipped and neutered (if required) before being rehomed. Our monthly vet bills are therefore significant, and whilst we ask for a donation towards this from new owners, we still need to fundraise constantly. On average, we spend £150 on each cat prior to rehoming - food and litter, vaccinations, any vet bills, and so on.

All our team are volunteers who lend their time and skills to help the many cats in our care.

Could you make a donation to help us? All donations, however small, go a long way to helping our stray, needy and abandoned cats.

• £5 can support one of our cats for a week
• £15 can pay for one cat to be microchipped.
• £50 can vaccinate a cat against cat flu, enteritis, leukemia and chlamydia.

You can also donate any spare cat food or accessories you may have. Pampurred Pets store in Salisbury have very kindly allowed us to display a small tub by their entrance for any cat related items you may wish to donate.

Join as a Volunteer

Volunteering for Cats Protection is a rewarding experience, particularly if you have a skill that would benefit the charity or would like to develop new skills by taking on a fresh challenge.

Not just rattling tins...

..there's so much more you can do. You may be creative and like to design some cards or promotional material for us perhaps. If you like meeting people and communicating then you may like to talk to groups about what we do; you may have contacts with stores and organisations who can get involved and help spread the word and support our activities.

Everyone has a skill of some sort, and we'd be delighted to hear from you if you think you can help us in any way, no matter how much or little time you may have available.

We also have some specific roles available - we're currently looking for a new Team Leader and a number of Telephone / Email Support volunteers, who can help with answering requests and calls.

Sponsor a Cat Cabin or Golden Oldie for £1 a week

Become a Cat Cabin sponsor for as little as £1 per week (or more if you wish) and your generosity will provide vital funds to help our cat cabin occupants.

Cat Cabins

You can help provide homeless cats and kittens with real and practical support by sponsoring a Cat Cabin, a purpose-built pen located at a Salisbury Cats Protection foster home, until a permanent new home can be found for them.

Every year a single Cat Cabin gives dozens of unwanted or poorly cats a warm, clean, and safe place to stay, with a cosy bed, toys, regular meals, medical care and attentive fosterers.

Golden Oldies

Cats Protection do not put to sleep any cat / kitten simply because they are difficult to re-home or have medical needs. We make great effort to rehabilitate these cats and give them a reasonable quality of life, even if it means permanent foster. Long-term medical care for a ‘Golden Oldie’ is therefore quite substantial.

In return for your kindness, we will send you a certificate and a special newsletter every three months; featuring stories and photographs of cats that have been helped by your support, on behalf of the grateful occupants. You will also automatically become a member of Salisbury CP and receive the membership pack.
