Regular meetings

We have decided to hold a monthly meeting at the Queen Hotel in Todmorden at 7.30pm on the 2nd Thursday of each month.  The next date will be 14 June.  If you'd like to come along we could have a chat about volunteering and you can meet other people from the Branch.  If you aren't keen on walking into a pub on your own let Geraldine know and she'll meet you outside!

Fostering

Cats Protection do not always have a shelter, or the room to take on as many cats and kittens as they receive calls for. This is where fosterers are vital, as their role is caring for rescue cats whilst they are "between homes".

Fosterers look after the cats rescued at their home, until a suitable permanent home can be found. We can provide pens for the fosterer's garden, similar to those in a cattery, or if there is a suitable room fosterers can keep the cat inside their home. We only have one fosterer at the moment and urgently need more volunteers to carry out rescue work.

Undoubtedly, the biggest benefit to fostering is that you are helping an animal who has fallen on hard times, towards a better future. Sometimes this can be the first time in its life that the animal has felt safe, cared for and loved.

Please contact us and speak to us if you would like to foster. Our Welfare Officer will come to visit you at your home. This is to assess where you would keep the foster cats/kittens, and also the area around to ensure the safety of the animals, making only recommendations where needed. This is also your opportunity to ask questions or raise any concerns you have about fostering.

If you think you can help, please email us at caldercats@hotmail.co.uk. We'll explain what volunteering entails (it's really a lot of fun and very rewarding!). If you just want to check us out, please come along to one of our Open Days in Todmorden - see Events.

The cat on the top right is Bertie, a Bengal (posh!) who came into our branch for fostering a few years ago. He soon found a new home (and didn't have time to read all the books behind him).
