Animal Charities
CP currently provides voucher assistance to certain smaller charities to help fulfil its objective of neutering. The vouchers cover some of the cost of neutering and can be used only for feral cats, neutering enquiries from owners of cats, or as part of campaigns, but are not able to be used for the neutering of the charity’s own rehomed animals, the cost of which we consider to be the responsibility of the charity concerned.

We impose certain strict criteria on charities wishing to work with us and we aim to focus on charities working in areas without cover of a CP branch. The funds available for supporting other charities are limited and at present we are not accepting new applications from charities for the foreseeable future. We will update this page during 2012 if this changes. Our support to existing partner charities continues subject to available funds.

Local councils
Local councils are working with some of our most challenging customer groups and we have been working proactively with many of these to achieve our goal of getting more high-risk cats neutered for some time. Vouchers are available to Dog Wardens, Animal Welfare Officers, Animal Health Inspectors and Environmental Health Officers. We provide pads of vouchers to enable you to have these in vans or cars, housing offices or tenant management meetings, so you can issue them on the spot.

We are continuing to accept requests for help from Councils, so for more information, please email neutering@cats.org.uk. We are hugely grateful to those proactive Council staff who work with us, for all their extra efforts beyond statutory minimum, and we know this is appreciated by the communities you serve. We especially appreciate the efforts made during the current period of uncertainty over funding of local authorities.

Social housing providers
As with councils, we recognise that you are in a unique position to make a difference. We work with several housing authorities, some of whom hold voucher stocks at local housing offices to provide on the spot vouchers to tenants needing their cat neutered, or have pads held by housing officer teams. If you’d like to work with us this way, please email neutering@cats.org.uk

We are continuing to accept requests for help from social landlords, so for more information, please email neutering@cats.org.uk. We are hugely grateful to these associations and trusts, and especially their proactive and caring staff who are working hard to support their tenants and their tenants’ pets, and especially so during the current financial and funding climate.
