In 2010 we homed 72 cats, all of which without the help of the local branch may well have ended up homeless, suffering, or even worse!

In addition to this, we neutered over 30 cats, and treated a further 50!

• We cover the postcodes as listed on the home page. As you can imagine the areas we work in, and the people and cats we deal with are all diverse, but they have one thing in common - they need our help! Without the branches cat work, there would be lots more unhappy cats across the area.

• We rescue and rehome cats and kittens in our area, which may have come in for various reasons - sometimes people move and leave their cat, sometimes their owner dies, sometimes they are found wandering or injured, and sometimes they are handed in when people just cant cope anymore.

• We help with feral colonies and our dedicated team of volunteers do their best to trap, neuter, and relocate (where possible) these feral cats.

• We also help with assisted neutering for people on low income or pensions

• We care for long term ill and elderly cats - we're always looking for homes for these, but this is a difficult task, and in the mean time they need to be looked after and given their medication when necessary!

• We also ensure all our cats are healthy and happy!

None of the volunteers receive a salary from Cats Protection, and many give up hours of their time every week!
