🐾 A little snapshot of the last 18 months… 🐾
As a small branch of the RSPCA, we constantly face confusion and sometimes backlash from people who assume we are a large animal rescue centre with endless space, staff and resources.
The reality is very different 💔
We are a small, completely self-funded RSPCA branch.
We raise every penny ourselves and operate with a small volunteer committee, one member of animal care staff, one shop staff member and a handful of incredibly valued caring volunteers.
Our resources are limited.
We currently have just 17 cattery pens and a small network of experienced fosterers who help us care for the cats who need us.
Despite this, we continue to do everything we possibly can to help animals in need.
We choose not to post the sad stories.. but to look at what we have achieved and how many of our furry friends we have rehabilitated and found the best possible home 🏠 🐈⬛🐾
At present, we have numerous cats on our waiting list, some desperately needing a safe place to go.
Some are waiting in veterinary practices while seriously unwell, and sadly, some have even been left at vets by other charities who have mistakenly assumed that we have more space and resources available than they do.
The heartbreaking reality is that we simply cannot help every animal who needs us, no matter how much we wish we could.
Every space, every foster home and every penny matters.
We do the very best we can with the resources available to us, and while the last 18 months have brought many challenges and setbacks, we are incredibly proud of what we have achieved ❤️
Facebook won’t let us post 270 pictures 😢 but here is just a small percentage 😻🥰
Behind every rescue, every cat cared for and every little success is a small team of people who care deeply and give everything they can.
We may be small, but our commitment is huge. ❤️🐱
Thank you to everyone who has supported us, volunteered, donated, fostered, adopted or simply taken the time to understand who we are and what we do.
Please remember:
We might be part of the RSPCA, but we are a small, self-funded branch doing the very best we can.
Every bit of support makes a difference and every poorly informed criticism hits hard on our small team .. We are not just a team but a family 🐾❤️
We are not looking for praise! We are looking for “pick me ups” for our little family!
So please if you have adopted from us share your post adoption pictures here…
We just love the updates!!! ❤️🐈⬛🐾
