How you can help the Shetland Branch
Membership
Would you like to become a member of the Shetland Branch of Cats Protection? You do not need to be a cat owner to help.
* Annual membership costs just £5.00, for which you receive a newsletter twice a year.
* Membership entitles you to a 10% discount on some veterinary treatment and on boarding fees at Gott Cats.
* All funds raised through membership and events stay in Shetland to support our work.
* Being a member doesn't mean you have to be a volunteer as well - unless you want to, of course.
If you would like to become a member of the Shetland Branch, please email
this address. Alternatively, you can request to become a member by writing to the address given on the Contact Us page.
Cat Bed Sponsorship
* Become a Cat Bed Sponsor to help with food and accommodation costs and vets bills.
* Sponsorship costs as little as £3 a month. If you are able to give more, this would be even more beneficial.*
* Payment can be made by direct debit, cheque or cash, on a monthly
or annual basis. However, you can also make payments intermittently, if
you prefer.
* In return, we'll keep you informed of the progress of the cats in the shelter and how your contribution is helping them.
* It costs around £2 a day to keep each cat and that doesn't include the
cost of veterinary expenses. Multiply this by the number of cats we
have in our care and you will see why we need financial support.
If you wish to become a sponsor, please contact us. Your generosity will be much appreciated.
Fostering
* Fosterers are a vital part of our work, giving temporary shelter
to young cats and kittens and caring for them in the first few weeks of
their lives.
* Fostering is hard work but endlessly rewarding, especially when
you see the kitten you've cared for transformed into a confident,
friendly, playful young cat.
* The Shetland Branch will provide you with kitten pens, food and
litter. We also cover veterinary costs. And we'll give you as much help
and support as you need.
Volunteers
We are always looking for volunteers to help us with our fundraising events. Volunteers can help us in many ways, including:
* Baking for fundraising events
* Helping with transport
* Helping on sales stalls
* Helping us with cat welfare matters.
How much you do is entirely up to you.
Could you spare a little of your time? If you can help us in any way, please contact us.
Sponsored Event
If you are considering taking part in a run or other event, would you
consider being sponsored and supporting the Cats Protection Shetland
Branch? If so, we can send you an official sponsor form, or you can
download one
here. Your time and effort will be very much appreciated.
Land for ferals
Some cats cannot be rehomed and are used to fending for themselves. If
you have some croft land they could live on, they could help you out by
keeping rodents down, and of course they will have been neutered so will
not multiply!
Donations
Alternatively, you can help us by simply making a one-off donation.
We would be grateful for any donation to help with our work. If you wish
to donate to the Shetland Branch of Cats Protection, please send a
cheque payable to Cats Protection Shetland, to the address given on the Contact Us page.
Any donation, however small, would be greatly appreciated.
