Ways you can help support Gwent Branch and the many cats and kittens in our care. Thank you for any help you are able to give.
Charity Shop
We opened a charity shop in Abergavenny in June 2013 and donations are always welcome. The shop is open 9-5 Monday - Saturday and Sundays 10-4 and is located near Tesco at 22 Frogmore Street, Abergavenny NP7 5AH
Please give them a call on 01873 857770 if you're planning to take large donations, as space is limited.
Easyfundraising
You can help Gwent Cats Protection to raise money whenever you shop online and it doesn't cost you a penny extra. Whe you shop the easyfundraising way with one of our 3,137 shops and sites, they give us a commission for your purchase. We turn that into a donation and give it to your good cause.
It's very simple - just visit https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/gwentcatsprotection/ to register.
Here's how it works
1. Start at easyfundraising.org.uk
Let's say you want to buy a pair of shoes from John Lewis. Instead of going to johnlewis.com, you go to easyfundraising.org.uk first - or you can use the easyfundraising toolbar.
2. Make a purchase
You click from the easyfundraising website through to John Lewis to make your purchase. The price of the shoes is exactly the same as if you'd visited John Lewis directly.
3.Get a donation
After you have bought your shoes, John Lewis will make a donation to our cause as a thank you for shopping with them. easyfundraising collect these donations for us and it costs nothing !
Amazon Wish List
We've set up a wish list on Amazon for toys, treats and feeders for the cats in our care. We operate on strict hygiene guidelines, so are continually needing new items to keep our cats & kittens motivated and active. Whilst you're shopping, take a browse at our wish list :

In the past we've sent out an SOS to help pay for cats needing specialist operations. Two closed appeals were for
Taz - https://www.justgiving.com/Cats-Protection-Gwent
Chai - https://www.justgiving.com/Savechai
In addition, in August 2016 our shop in Abergavenny was flooded and we appealed for help. The shop suffered severe damage from the rooms above it and was closed for several weeks. As the shop is a major funding source, we struggled to meet the bills without it's income. On top of this, during July, we had extortionate vet bills to pay as a result of numerous litters of sick kittens & cats from multi cat households and abandoned litters.
We also had a major clean up to do at the shop and replacement of equipment once the repairs were completed.
