🎁 CAN YOU HELP US WITH TOMBOLA PRIZES? 🎁

We have lots of exciting events coming up at DAS and we’re looking for donations of tombola prizes to help us raise some much-needed funds for the animals. 🐾

Our first event is our Christmas Market on Sunday 15th November, and we’d love to get our tombola stocked up ready!

Whether you’re a local business who can donate a gift, voucher or hamper, or someone who has something suitable to donate, we’d be so grateful.

Every prize helps us raise money towards the care, food and vet bills of the dogs and cats at the shelter.

If you can help, please get in touch or drop your donations off at the shelter.

Thank you, as always, for supporting us. It really does make a difference! 💚

🐾 Introducing the gorgeous Nelson! 🐾

Male | 3 years old

Meet our lovely Nelson ❤️

Nelson has sadly recently lost one of his front legs, so he’s now adjusting to life as a tripod. It’s still very early days for him, and at the moment he’s quite happy chilling in his bed and taking things at his own pace.

But don’t let that fool you, this boy is an absolute sweetheart! He loves attention, head scratches and cuddles and is happiest when he’s getting lots of fuss. 🥰

Now, we should probably mention that Nelson is a very posh little gentleman… he has expensive taste and will only entertain the fancy brands of cat food! 😂

A little bit about Nelson:
🐱 Neutered, vaccinated and microchipped
👧 Older children only
🐶 No dogs
🐱 Not yet sure how he would be with other cats

Nelson deserves a special home where he can take his time, enjoy all the love and attention he wants and adjust to his new life at his own pace.

Could you be the person to give this gorgeous boy his happy ever after? ❤️

If you would like to adopt Nelson, please complete the application form below. ⬇️

🐱💙 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: CALLUM! 💙🐱

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on one of our wonderful cattery volunteers, Callum! 🌟

Callum has a real gift for helping our more nervous and timid cats feel safe, settled and loved. ❤️🐾 With his patience, kindness and dedication, he helps them slowly come out of their shells and show their lovely little personalities. These small steps can make a huge difference to cats who need a little extra time and reassurance. 🥹🐈

Callum is a truly valuable member of our team, and we’re so grateful for the time, care and commitment he gives to the cats at The Destitute Animal Shelter.

Volunteers like Callum make such a difference to the lives of the animals in our care, and we wanted to take a moment to recognise and celebrate everything he does. 💙

Thank you, Callum, for being pawsome! 🐾 We’re so lucky to have you as part of our shelter family! 🐱💕

This afternoon we had 5 very tiny kittens come into our care, sadly without their mum. 💔

It’s been all hands on deck bottle-feeding them, helping them go to the toilet and giving them lots and lots of cuddles. 🍼❤️

They’re now all settled, warm and safe, and getting all the love and attention they need.

It’s moments like this that remind us why we do what we do. ❤️🐾
