 Charity helps Halesowen and district cat lovers adopt with confidence

Any pet lover would prefer to see an unwanted cat adopted into a loving home rather than have it spend its life as a stray or in care, but how can new owners be sure about a cat’s history and state of health?

Cats Protection’s Halesowen branch has introduced an ‘adopt with confidence’ pledge, which means prospective owners can be confident that any cat adopted from the charity has benefited from the very highest standards of care and attention.

This comes at a time when more pets than ever are being given up due to the economic climate, which has put a massive strain on the Halesowen branch. Some owners who have lost their jobs simply can’t afford to keep their cats or have had to move into rented accommodation where pets are not allowed, so the charity has found itself dealing with more unwanted cats than ever before.

Halesowen co-ordinator, Pam  explains: “In these difficult times, we are encouraging people to come to us as their first port of call when looking for a new pet, as we have some thirty healthy, affectionate cats that would really benefit from a loving home.

“Owners adopting from Cats Protection have the peace of mind that their cat will have been examined by a veterinary surgeon, microchipped, vaccinated, neutered if old enough and will also come with four week’s free insurance. We provide these benefits and treatments so people don’t have to worry about them following adoption, which is a big plus for money-conscious owners.”
