CAT OF THE MONTH
Frodo is looking for an experienced owner. He is a handsome four year old neutered boy, and needs to be an only pet, preferably with access to a large garden. He is very friendly, but sometimes gets overwhelmed and can then scratch or bite. He loves food, toys, and life on his own terms.
Could you be the one to give Frodo the home and care he needs? He has love to give, but needs to be appreciated for his own character.

Our branches and centres may be closed but the cost of caring for our cats does not stop.
 As a nation, we’ve rarely appreciated our cats more. They’re here for us when we’re feeling worried or lonely, here to distract us and help the days pass and here as a great comfort and source of joy.
Can you donate £18 today and help with the cost of feeding, treating, looking after and loving one of the cats in our care for another day?
Our cats are here for us so please help us be #HereForTheCats. Please supportour Special Coronavirus Appeal and donate now.

Fundraising
At the moment we are running a Facebook Marketing campaign to try and bolster our funds during these difficult times when our normal fundraising activities are curtailed. So far we have managed to sell a range of donated goods which has been a great success. However, we are in need of some good quality donations to help continue these fundraising activities over the next few months. If you have anything that is new/nearly new that you could donate to our cause it would be very much appreciated!
In particular we would love:
- Toys
- Craft items
- Home décor items
- Toiletries (must still be sealed)
- Household items
We are unable to accept books, DVDs, CDs and any items with blades or sharp implements.
If you have any items to donate, or further questions, please contact us at enquiries@oxford.cats.org.uk to arrange for collection. |

From time to time we are asked to help reduce the size of cat colonies in the Oxfordshire area. This means we go out trapping cats which then need a good home.
We are looking, in particular, for farmers, smallholders or stables who may need good hunters to help with any vermin issues. All the new owners would need to do is give the cats somewhere to shelter and put out some food for them.
All trapped cats will be neutered and have a thorough vet check before they are moved on.
If you are interested please contact the Oxfordshire branch of CP on 01235221147 or email enquiries@oxford.cats.org.uk |

 Why enter our Cats Protection Lottery? The odds are fab and you will help cats too!

| Established in 1988, we work through a network of fosterers, who provide temporary accommodation for needy cats until safe, loving, permanent homes can be found for them. The fosterers are supported by other volunteers who concentrate on fund-raising.
Cats Protection asks adopters for an adoption fee of £100 when offering a home to a cat or kitten as they are all vet-checked, micro-chipped and receive their first vaccinations before going to their new homes and, if old enough, are neutered. If you feel able to make a donation on top of that fee, it would, of course, be gratefully received. We know times are hard so thank you if you decide to give a loving home to one of our cats
