WHAT WE DO
Cats Protection
is a National Feline Rescue and Welfare Charity, taking in lost and
unwanted cats, and finding new homes for them. We also encourage
neutering and advise on general feline welfare problems.
The Glastonbury & Wells
Branch of Cats Protection,
covers a largely
rural part of Somerset including
Shepton Mallet, Wells, Glastonbury, Street, Cheddar, Castle Cary and
surrounding area. All of our cats are
kept at the homes of volunteer fosterers because we have no central
shelter.
Last year we re-homed 183 cats
and kittens We always have friendly
cats of all ages for re-homing and often 'feral'
(semi-wild) cats for farms. We often have
kittens in need of
homes, especially between May-September. Some cats are re-homed
quickly, whilst others need medical care or rehabilitation before
new homes can be found. Adults are always vet checked, neutered,
wormed, treated for fleas, microchipped and vaccinated, and - when
needed, the services of a
pet behaviourist
to sort any psychological problems the cat may have. Please go to
our
Contact Us page for details of our Welfare Officer and other
Committee Members.
If you would like to join us and/or help cats in this area of
Somerset, please go to the
Membership
page. We always need fosterers, home checkers, cat cuddlers and
fundraisers – all strictly volunteers, although reasonable expenses
will be reimbursed. |
