5 GOOD REASONS FOR
HAVING YOUR CAT NEUTERED
DID YOU KNOW... |
Images brought to you by
'The
smallest feline is a masterpiece.' Leonardo da Vinci
'Dogs come when called.
Cats take a message and get back to you.'
'Of course, every cat

A morning kiss, a discreet
touch of his nose landing
somewhere on the middle
of my face.
Because his long white
whiskers tickled,
I began every day laughing.

have owners. Cats have staff.'

'Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr
... A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test
paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe
about ourselves - that we are nice.' - Roger A Caras
"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the
owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to
move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it
makes a noise when you jump on it." -- Stephen Baker

CATS PROTECTION (UK)
Who are we?
Cats Protection is
the UK’s
leading feline welfare charity.
What
are we?
We are a rehoming
organisation, made up of 29 Centres and over 260 voluntary-run Branches across
the UK. The charity rehomes over 142,000 cats and kittens a year, encourages the
neutering of all cats not required for breeding and also provides an information
service to the public.
When
did we start?
On
16 May 1927,
a meeting of cat lovers was held in Caxton Hall,
London at which, it
was resolved ... 'that a society be formed to be devoted exclusively to
promoting the interests of cats and that its name be The Cats Protection
League'. We shortened this to Cats Protection back in 1998.
Where
do we operate?
We have voluntary
Branches in most areas of the UK, from the Shetland Isles in the North to
Truro
in the far South West.
Why do
we do it?
Despite our success
in rehoming many thousands of cats every year, it is still not enough.
Typically, for every two cats in care there is another cat waiting to come in.
We can have around 7,000 cats in our care at any one time.
How do
we do it?
Without a doubt the
lifeblood of Cats Protection is our army of unpaid volunteers, who between them
carry out around 80% of our work. At present, we have around 6,000 unpaid
volunteers all working to give cats a second chance in life.
How can
you support our work?
Cats Protection’s
work never stops and with a growing feline population, the charity’s services
are more in demand than ever. To find out more about the benefits of adopting a
cat, remembering us in your Will, becoming a volunteer or to make a donation
towards the charity’s vital feline welfare work, please call Cats Protection’s

A
Cat's Prayer'
Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.
Let the sun shine where I lay,
Keep me young so I may play.
And most of all ...
Bless the people I adore,
And guard me from the dog next door.
