The shelter has been very busy this month with both our fundraising and with many new additions to the shelter. The shelter has been over whelmed with the amount of cats and kittens brought to the door this last month and it has been a challenge to find space to accommodate them all. With the help of our dedicated staff and foster carers we have managed to find temporary homes for them all. The staff at the shelter often take home kittens to hand rear and others that need extra attention.
The ‘staff member of the month’ would have to go to Nelly the dog who has been a god- send to her owner Shirley whilst she has been hand rearing 4 kittens this month. Nelly has worked hard keeping the kittens clean and warm and is very protective of them all.
This year the shelter has had a growing amount of kittens to house and re-home and we are always in desperate need of donated kitten pouches. The shelter feeds up to 25 kittens each day and we would appreciate any donations of kitten pouches or small tins of Whiskas kitten super meat.
The Shelter’s Halloween Yard Sale took place on Saturday 29th Oct and was a fun day enjoyed by all. Many people came in fancy dress and the kitchen was transformed to sell delicious vegetable soup, savoury treats and cakes
The Yard Sale raised £692 which is the best sale yet. This money will help run the shelter for 2 days so fundraising events like these are so important. We are always happy to hear from anyone interested in fundraising either helping with the shelters events or if you have an ideas of your own. We have had people who have raised money through sponsored dog walks or more extreme activities such as a sponsored sky dive. If you have any ideas we would be more than happy to help you with your fundraising idea.
