Have a few minutes to spare? ❤️

The Leicester Half Marathon is this October and two of our wonderful supporters are taking part!

They are raising money for our branch, helping us continue our work in the area. We are currently focusing on trapping, neutering then releasing feral cats. We call this TNR and this helps control population numbers and decrease pregnancies in feral colonies.

Without our work, feral colonies would increase drastically, very quickly, leading to a shortage of food and shelter. The colonies would be unable to care for all of the kittens being born regularly, and living without any human interaction would lead to poor health conditions, such as fleas and FIV.

If you have just a few minutes free today and you are able to give, please support Esther and Callum on their journey, and support cats and kittens throughout Leicestershire. Head over to their JustGiving page for more details and to make a contribution - https://www.justgiving.com/page/estherandcallum?utm_campaign=lc_frp_share_transaction_fundraiser_page_launched&utm_content=6a803c33-9003-47bb-9abc-3bb80bc1d972&utm_medium=email&utm_source=postoffice&utm_term=1746204511585

Your generous donations are what keep us gong and without your help, we simply couldn't do this ❤️
