Fundraising
We are back this year with some fundraising events after the long gap when Covid meant that these events could not go ahead.
We went to the Ealing Animals Fair on 2nd March and will next be at the St Margarets Fair on 2nd July and would love to see some of our supporters there!

We recently asked for photos of your adopted pets to adorn our calendar for 2022, and these are some of the best. We are so pleased to see how happy and well-loved they are. We hope you enjoy this calendar. Remember to select ‘Landscape’ and ‘A4’ format in your print settings.

Feline Pancytopenia outbreak in UK
The Royal Veterinary College is aware of 443 cats that are known to them based on cases treated at their own hospitals and information provided by some vets in the UK. Of these there was 64% mortality at time of reporting.
Go to our new Feline Pancytopenia page for more news articles, details about symptoms, to check the Food Standards Agency product recall notice, donate to our fundraiser, and for more information about Awen and Maia (ex haws kittens) who both sadly died of this condition recently. Our hearts go to their adopters, foster carer and all others who are affected by this.
Please neuter your kittens!
One of the key reasons for the huge number of unwanted pets and strays coming to our charity, is that people are not neutering them. Neutering your animals has lots of benefits, both for their health and wellbeing. They are less likely to become problem pets due to territorial issues and/or being allowed to breed.
