ADOPTING A CAT OR KITTEN
Our cats are extremely precious to us and we are always seeking caring, permanent homes.
• Are you a home owner living away from a
main road with access to a garden?
• Do you have or are you prepared to fit a cat
flap into your house?
• Are you prepared to pay vet costs for a
possible 18 - 20 years?
• Are you prepared to make your new pet a
member of your family, ie, given access to all
areas of your home? If the answer is yes to all these questions telephone 0117 9243128 today - we want to hear from you. Adoption viewings are available, but ONLY BY APPOINTMENT- The Moggery is a busy place! ADOPTION EXTRA
We ceased placing in rented accommodation in 2004 due to the fact that half the cats we adopt each year are from relocating tenants who cannot find new landlords who will accept their cats (a cat may live 18 - 20 years and the owner will move many times during that period)
• We do not place on bus routes or fast roads
because the main cause of death for urban
cats is by road accident
• Cat flaps can be fitted in uPVC doors and
double glazing. The latest cat flaps such as
Sure Flar or Pet Porte read your cat's identichip
number and will not admit any other cat
Looking after a cat properly is expensive, if
you are not prepared to pay for necessary vet
care eg vaccinations don't even consider
obtaining a pet
SUPPORTING US
We need many volunteers to operate The Moggery and our volunteers come from all walks of life from students to retirees, nurses, teachers, drivers and office workers. All volunteers work hard but they enjoy making a difference. We have regular social gatherings to enable the volunteers in different fields to meet.
• We need daily volunteers to feed and clean out
the cats in care
• We need help at fund raising events eg our
Annual Auction, Christmas Fair, etc and we
need collectors at Garden Centres and
Supermarkets during the year
• We need Progress Checkers to visit cats in
their new homes
• We need Transporters to bring in cats or take
them to the vet
Please telephone 0117 924 3128 to volunteer. COULD YOU BECOME A FOSTER HOME? We desperately need foster homes to aid our commitment to rehabilitating and rehoming cats. If you do not meet our criteria for adoption but are interested in this special role, do not hesitate to contact the Moggery on 0117 9243128. SUPPORTING EXTRA
If you cannot offer active support you can still help us by
• Sponsoring a Permanent Resident
• Arranging a Christmas Dinner Collection at
work
• Setting up a standing order for The Moggery
NEUTERING
• Every day in the UK approximately 1,000
healthy cats and kittens are put to sleep
because they cannot find a home
• Every kitten deliberately or accidently bred
robs a cat in a rescue of the chance of a home
• A female kitten can become pregnant at only 5
months and produce 2 / 3 litters every year
• A male kitten will become sexually mature at 5
months and will spray around his home and
the neighbourhood (the smell is appalling) he
will fight other males and wander as far as 5
miles looking for fertile females. Please consider your cats best interests and get them neutered/spayed. If you are struggling to afford this please contact the Moggery on 01179243128, we may be able to provide assistance.
