A few months ago, Tia, a cat we rehomed a few years ago, had to come back into our care due to her family’s changing circumstances. 💔 But we’re delighted to share a happy update—Tia, now called Agatha, has found a wonderful new home! 🎉 This Christmas, she’ll be celebrating with her loving new family, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. It’s the perfect Christmas gift for Agatha, and we wish her a lifetime of happiness! ❤️🐾

As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who has followed this page, supported us, and helped make stories like Agatha’s possible. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us and the cats in our care.

We're wrapping up the year with a splash! 🎉 Col has heroically conquered the 12-day cold water challenge, braving icy waters during December – all to create a better life for cats and kittens. 🐱❄️

We're beyond grateful for Col's incredible support. You can still help him continue to smash his target by donating here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/colin-everitt-barden-1732137819471

Friends, if you're in Stowmarket or fancy a visit, check out our Cats Protection Christmas tree in the Christmas Tree Festival at the Church of St. Peter and Mary in Station Road West. The church is open Tuesday (including Christmas Eve) to Saturday from 9am to 3pm. There's also a special evening session on 19 December from 5.30pm to7.30pm when the trees will be lit up.

A big thank you to Katrina Browning for making the decorations and decorating the tree with Rachel (and Buffy!) And it's not too late to help our cats with a gift from our Amazon Wishlist! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wishlist/3FZ73IZW1FUAU

Col has done it! 12 ice dips completed and £620 raised. The last one was five minutes long! Hero! We'd like to say a huge thank you to Col for carrying out this challenge on our behalf - and you can still support him here:

DAY 10 for Col! He's making it look easy now but it really isn't, especially as the dips get longer every day! 2 more days until he completes this extraordinary fundraising feat for us. Please show your support by giving just a few pounds to help him reach his new target. Every little really helps! Thanks all!

Friends - Col has completed 9 of his 12 Ice Dips! What a hero! We'll post another video of his final dip in a few days and then hit you with a compilation 😂

We're overwhelmed that he has chosen to freeze himself senseless for us for 12 days on the trot and the funds he's raising will enable us to provide more support to cats in need during 2025. If you haven't sponsored him yet, you can still do so here:

Today Col reached the mid-way point in his 12 Ice Dips of Christmas Challenge! He was in his ice pod for 3 mins 15 seconds - in this weather - and after completing the park run!

Please, please support his epic fundraiser for Cats Protection and help him beat his target! Every little helps!

Beautiful Coco was with us for a while...but we're so happy that, now called Willow, she'll be enjoying Christmas in her forever home. The best Christmas present she could have!

Thank you to everyone involved with giving her this happy ending.

Thank you very much to everyone came to support us at the Christmas Fayre in Needham Market on Sunday. It was a lovely event and we raised £385.75 which is really great.

Particular thanks of course to CP volunteers Bryony, Margaret, Heather, Maree and Rachel who made all the preparations and manned the stall on the day. Stars, every one of them!

If you couldn't come along but would like to help our cats, why not buy them a gift from our Amazon Wishlist? It's so easy and each gift makes such a difference!

We recently homed two adorable kittens now called Seth and George. They are living life to the full with their family and particularly enjoy helping out in the home office 🐱

What a lovely pair they are - and how lucky to be in their new home in time for Christmas. Thank you to all involved!

Hi

This Christmas, I’m raising funds for Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket Cats Protection by challenging myself to take a cold water dip every day during the 12 days of Christmas. The first dip will last for 2 minutes and I’ll increase the duration by 15 seconds every day until my final cold dip which will last for a whole 5 minutes! I’ll be taking them in my icepod and will share pictures and videos. Providing support with neutering is one of the most important services our branch provides so the funds will help them continue to provide this service in the face of rising costs.

As you can tell, I’m passionate about cats and I have 5 myself (would rescue more if my husband allowed!) I also run a cat-sitting and grooming service – Col's Cat Services - caring for cats in their home while their owners are away. While the water will be freezing, I’ll be thinking about the fact that I’m making a difference to a cat’s life – and that makes it worth it! Please support me and share my page!

Col will be taking his first icy dip on 2 December. We're in awe of his efforts on our behalf. Please support him and cheer him on!

We encourage our cats to play because it gives them mental stimulation while they're confined to a pen - and it's also a good way to get them to interact with us - useful if they've not had a great experience with humans so far... This means these little delights from Hannah from our Amazon wishlist are just the ticket.

Thank you!

If you'd like to help us, you can check the list out here. It all helps! really
