Cherwell Cats Protection cover Bicester, Banbury, Brackley and Chipping Norton. As well as this we offer free advice to cat owners who are in need of guidance. We meet regularly to review cat welfare issues, re-homing, fund-raising and other business. As a team we rescue, neuter, foster, rehabilitate and re-home up to 25 cats and kittens each month but there are always more on our waiting list. Our foster homes cater for tiny kittens and their mums, larger kittens, adult neutered cats and cats needing treatment. Every cat we bring in has a basic vet check which involves vaccination, flea/worm treatment and a general health check. This costs approximately £150 per cat and very often, especially in the case of a stray, there are more serious problems which need addressing. If you then take into account the cost of food, heat, litter etc. all the things that contribute to keeping a cat, you realise just how much money we need to raise, just to keep going. We are a relatively small branch with limited resources in both personnel and finances and rely on a group of enthusiastic volunteers to care for the cats and raise the money to enable us to do so, it's donations from everyday people like you which mean we can continue our work. The branch membership is £10.00 per year, as a member you receive updates on are work and are invited to get involved in anyway you are willing to help. If you would like to become a member, send in a donation or sponsor a cat or a cat cabin please visit our website or call or email us.
