📍'Marham residents - please keep an eye out and check any sheds or outbuildings for the below cats. They are outdoor cats but very much loved and well cared for and their owners are concerned about their whereabouts. Bob (who has already been microchipped) has not been seen since the 26th July and her kitten since early last week. They can't be picked up but their owner would really like to know that they're safe.
Anyone who has any information, on these or any other stray cats in the area, should contact the centre on 01366 382311 or email [email protected] and ask for Jess

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to our supporters, Kev and Lauren, who are taking part in the Big Summer Roam this year.
Kev and Lauren adopted Mullins from us in July and he has settled in very well, with his paws firmly under the table.
Mullins underwent quite a lot of medical treatment whilst with us at the centre, including a thyroidectomy. He never complained and became a firm favourite with all the staff and volunteers. We were all so happy that he found his perfect home with these wonderful people and they love him just as much as we do!
Please support their efforts if you can, so we can carry on helping as many cats as possible.
Help Lauren Sing raise money to support Cats Protection

We will soon be looking for new Foster Homes to help care for the cats and kittens at the centre.
You might already have the perfect foster home for a feline in need.
Foster cats can be kept safe and cosy in a spare room, whether you live in a flat, a house, don’t have a garden, live near big roads or have other animals already.

International homeless animal day ✨
Some great information below from International Cat Care
There are many suitable pet cats in shelters and homing centres waiting for someone to welcome them into their home. However, a cat without a traditional home doesn’t always mean an unhappy cat. Some cats are less suited and tolerant than others to living indoors and with humans.
We use the term ‘unowned cats’ to describe the many different lifestyles of cats because not all cats are made the same. All these cats need different types of help based on an understanding of the range of these lifestyles. To help, we created Cat Friendly Solutions for Unowned Cats, take a look here 👉 https://icatcare.org/unowned-cats/
Keep your eyes peeled for more information on our upcoming event, for anyone working in the global unowned cat community. Supported by Battersea

What a day!🌺🌷 On Wednesday 31st July, our fundraising team attended the Sandringham Flower Show and had a brilliant time!
As well as the usual Cats Protection merchandise on offer, we had a raffle full of amazing prizes, a tombola with lots of fun and 'foodie' goodies up for grabs, and of course lots of valuable information and advice to give to the cat admiring general public.
We managed to raise an outstanding £1366.21! This will greatly help the cats in our care so a huge thank you to everyone who supported us.
Also a massive thank you to all the volunteers who helped out throughout the day, you are all amazing 🤩.
Last but by no means least, a very big THANK YOU to all the lovely businesses that donated items for our raffle, it really wouldn't have been the day it was without your support!

😺These volunteers typically spend 2-3 hours in the morning, helping the team to make sure all the cats are comfortable and happy in their surroundings.
😺We have a particular need for more Cat Care Volunteers at the weekends, so if you have a couple of hours spare on a Saturday or Sunday morning, please get in touch to find out more - email : [email protected] telephone: 01366 382311

around.
