Other ways to support us
1. Justgiving
You can set up your own Just Giving page to raise funds for our branch from your chosen event. The first step is to register your details. Then choose the cause that you want to support, ie Cats Protection. The branch is not set up on Just Giving as a charity in its own right (only the main Cats Protection charity is set up), however if you make sure that your page states that you are fundraising for Chiltern Cats Protection and not Cats Protection in general, the money that you raise will come through to us.
2. Amazon wishlist
If you were thinking of donating to Chiltern Cats Protection, and you would rather donate something tangible for our foster cats rather than money, you might like to take a look at our wishlist on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wishlist/270LCH9REDRFP
