Sponsor or foster a cat or kitten: We have cats and kittens coming into our care all the time. We never kill for expediency so fosterers are urgently needed. Why not sponsor the upkeep of an animal? The cost is from £5 per week. We usually have tame cats and kittens ready to go to homes as well as those who stay longer because they need taming, are expecting kittens or are nursing queens. [FOSTERING HAND-REARING]

Help on a stall, jumble sale or bazaar: A few hours of your time can mean a great relief to our regular helpers. If you drive, can you help with transporting goods or maybe offer some storage space in your garage, loft or attic?

"Bring & Buys", quiz evenings, auctions, garden parties etc: These events can often raise considerable sums in comparatively little time. Collecting boxes and literature are available on request.

Collect or make goods for us: Unwanted gifts of any kind, good quality bric-a-brac, books, toys and hand made items are always gratefully received. Some branches can use jumble and second hand clothes.

Trapping: For safety this is best done in pairs, especially at night. We have a particular need for people who drive.

Transport: All our branches are short of drivers. Lifts are needed to vets, to sites and to prospective homes to be vetted. We are usually able to refund petrol expenses if needed.

Sponsor a stall or an advertisement: Our branches often fundraise at local fairs. Maybe you could sponsor the cost of a stall or help pay for an advertisement to find new homes for the cats in our care.

Collect or make goods for us: Unwanted presents of any kind, good quality bric-a-brac, books, toys and handmade items are always gratefully received. Some branches can use jumble and second-hand clothes.

PLEASE REMEMBER US IN YOUR WILL. MAKE SURE YOUR LEGACY IS FOR "CAT ACTION TRUST 1977, REGISTERED CHARITY No. 801245". YOU CAN LEAVE MONEY TO HEADQUARTERS OR TO ONE OF OUR BRANCHES.
