About Cats Protection Cats Protection is the UK's leading feline welfare charity and has been rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming cats since 1927. Our nationwide network of 29 Cat Adoption Centres and 260 voluntary-run Branches rehomes 60,000 cats and kittens every year. But we could not do any of this without the generous support of the cat loving public. Our Branch The Wellingborough and Rushden branch rehomed over 260 cats and kittens last year. Our dedicated volunteers give up their spare time to assist cats and kittens in need. From assisting feral cats to raising orphaned kittens we provide help wherever we can. Sometimes our assistance is a lifeline for the cats and kittens which come into our care. |

August's News
 From The Evening Telegraph July 25th Last month we announced that we were being swamped by rehoming requests from desperate members of the public, many very upset that they were being forced to give up their beloved pets to move into privately rented accomodation. This is a really sad state of affairs for a so called animal loving nation. So come on landlords have a heart, give all your local charities a break, and allow your tenants to have pets. ------ We would love to be able to help each and every cat in need, but sadly our resources are limited. We are currently having to prioritise the care and help we can give to the very young, sick and injured.  This motley crew were picked up roaming in a car park behind a pizza parlour in Wellingborough, they are very frightened of people. We are currently spending lots of time handling and socialising them. In a few weeks time they will be ready to be rehomed. If we hadn't picked these kittens up, they would have been at risk of being run over, and by the end of the year they would, if they managed to survive, have gone on to have families of their own, none of which would have been approachable by humans. Their quality of life would have been poor, scavenging for food, trying to find shelter from the elements, and at greater risk of serious disease and injury. The average life of a feral (wild) cat is only 7 years... ********* Special cats needing homes

| WARNING FLEAS CAN KILL  It would be a grave mistake to think of the flea as simply a nuisance. A heavy flea burden can be lethal, especially to young kittens, ill, convalescing, or frail elderly cats. Most pet owners have no idea that fleas can kill. Heavy infestations will cause the animal to become aneamic which left untreated can be fatal.We took a kitten into our branch who was severely weakened by fleas, unfortunately after a very long night, he sadly died in his carer's arms. Please seek veterinary assistance or ring our helpline for advice regarding the treatment of fleas 0845 371 4209 |

........................................... Our last Cat Of The Month, Daisy, 17 years old, has been diagnosed with a pronounced heart murmur. Our vet is unable to offer any medical treatment for her condition. One of our fosterers has given Daisy a permanent home to live out the rest of her days. Daisy is happy and content and enjoying lots of fuss and attention.  ........................................... |

| Patience =^..^= Please be aware of the cats and kittens that come into our care. Some have been abandoned, ill treated, and some just not wanted anymore. Some will take time and patience to gain human trust again. Your time and love will gain their trust. Thank You =^..^= |

Calling all Farms, stables and rural homes Need a good Mouser?  We sometimes come across out-of-work mousers. These poor unfortunate creatures have never had a proper home or have been away so long they've forgotten what it was like to have had one. All they need is regular food and a dry sheltered place to spend the night. For further information please get in touch. |
