SPONSOR A CAT

If you are currently unable to adopt a cat or are looking for an ideal gift for a loved one then perhaps you would like to sponsor one of these long-term residents? For £15 you can sponsor one of our very deserving cats for a year, contributing towards his or her meals and medical expenses. You will receive a welcome pack with a photo of the cat you are sponsoring and regular updates on how he or she is getting on throughout the year.

A picture and description of each of our sponsored cats can be found below. If you would like to sponsor one (or more!) of them then please get in contact with the branch. You can do this via the form on the 'Contact Us' webpage or give us a phone on 0845 371 2722 and leave a message on the answerphone asking for a 'sponsor a cat' application form (don't forget to tell us your name and address if you phone). We will post a sponsorship form out to you as soon as we can. Alternatively, you can download the Sponsor a Cat form, print it out, fill it in and post it to our address (see the 'Contact Us' webpage again for this). Thanks.

FREDDIE - 5 years old

















"Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) describes a collection of conditions that can affect the bladder and/or urethra of cats. This can be controlled through a special diet. Freddie likes to sit on the hearth, to enjoy the heat! He is a very gentle boy, he loves to sit at the sink, in the hope of catching a drip from the tap or just sitting watching the world go by.  He likes to hang out down at the school in the hope that someone will stop and speak to him, and most people do" - Freddie's fosterer

MARK - 20 years old









"Mark is the grumpy old man of the gang but everyone still knows he is boss and he keeps everyone in line. Mark had a very bad neck that would not heal, it took 2 years to get his neck closed. After that he always had a skin condition that he still gets treated for till this day and  every now and then he has to have his collar on. I  think when people looked at him they felt he was always scabby looking, it takes a lot of looking after so that his skin does not break down and I think new owners were put off by that." - Mark's fosterer

LOUISE - 6 years old









"I got Louise in Aug 2004, she came from the quarry in Kirkintilloch, she was brought in with her sister but she was hit by a car the following Dec. She's a great wee girl, she rubs on my legs when I'm putting her dinner out but soon as I touch her she backs off. She gets on great with my 2 youngest cats they are about the same age as her she comes to the living room window for them. I feel so sorry for her when I open the door to let mine in she follows them as far as the door she will put her front paws in the she stops and backs off." - Louise's fosterer

WILLOW - 10 years old









"Willow is a very shy girl, was born as a feral and not found until she was nearly 4months old and is used to being on her own, so she did not like people but loved other cats, so she joined the gang at my home.  She loves the garden and her dried food. She is a wee bit over weight but is a happy wee girl." - Willow's fosterer

SOX - 10 years old









"He is a huge big boy but not people friendly at all ... but loves living with the other cat's. His brother was homed but he did not like the idea and came back into care. He loves the garden and coming in the cat flap when he thinks you are not looking." - Sox's fosterer

PADDY - 8 years old









"Paddy as you can see is a beautiful boy. He was a feral kitten born in Drumchapel, his two brothers got homed but he decided it was not for him and came back into care. He loves the garden and he is the mouse catcher of the group, I can pet him when he is in the mood but this is not often." - Paddy's fosterer

TALA - 12 years old

















Tala came into care with his brother Simba due to an allergy in the family. Tala is a Singapura and Simba was a Blue Abyssinian. On first medical examination of the cats, both had severe medical problems and sadly Simba lost his fight at in November 2010. Tala is the smaller of the two, he is a timid cat but friendly and affectionate once he comes out of his shell. He has a heart murmur and has to attend a heart specialist every 6 months. He also has a cataract in one eye. He is loved by his fosterers very much.

GIZZY - 7 years old









"We got Gizzy and his brother Ozzy in January 2004 when they were about 12 weeks sold. Both were feral, totally unfriendly, manic and semi wild. We persevered with them both and Ozzy was homed. Try as we might, we couldn't get Gizzy to come round, and, eventually we reached a compromise - he tolerated us – just! Nowadays he just toddles in and out whenever he feels like it - but he is still petrified of everything and everybody! Sometimes he relents and jumps up on the chair with his "mum" (Helen,) and gets a wee pet and a clap - but bolts if someone even sneezes or moves! To us, he's just the "wee man" (a.k.a. the Scarlet Pimpernel) but we wouldn't give him up for the world!" - Gizzy's fosterer
