This is an exceptionally busy year for us, with an exceptionally large
number of people
asking us to help with cats and kittens in their gardens or under their
sheds. While we
always do what we can, sometimes
we simply cannot help because we do not have the
people, money, or foster
places needed. This is also the holiday
time of year, when fewer people are looking for cats or kittens so re-homing
is slower. We neuter every adult cat we
take in, and all kittens are vaccinated as soon as they are old enough (9 weeks
generally) All cats and
kittens are treated for worms and fleas. In spite of the favourable
rates changed by a number of veterinary practices, our vet bills for June were
almost 6,000 euro and we need to raise this money if we are to continue our
work. As it is, our
volunteers pay for food, litter, phones, petrol, and other costs, but we cannot
pay the huge veterinary costs as well. We would be most grateful for any help in our fund raising efforts.
We would appreciate any gifts of money or food
for the cats and kittens we have. We would also be delighted
if anyone would like to compete in the Cork Mini Marathon in September,
and we will be announcing some further fund raisers for later in the
year, including an Autumn Pub Quiz. If anyone would like to run a coffee morning, car boot sale, or other
fund raiser for us, or donate jars of coins, or old currency, we would also be
delighted and very grateful. Collection July 14th 2010 We held a collection on Wednesday 14th July, in Douglas, Wilton, and Blackpool shopping centres. We are very greatful to all those who volunteered their time to collect for the cats and kittens we are also very delighted with everyone who donated to our cause. Final thanks to each of the shopping centres for having us on the day.
