Nottingham Area - help with neutering your cats.
Not means tested.

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️PLEASE SHARE! ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

As a RSPCA branch based in Nottingham, we are covering a busy, highly populated area. Us humans are one thing but animals and in particularly cats, are another. Cats can reproduce several litters in a year. They are pregnant for 9 weeks and can be in kitten again immediately after giving birth.
We recently helped with a house with 25 cats and currently have another 5 properties with 32 cats between them. These requests for assistance have come to us via officers. The numbers aren't huge BUT unless action is taken now the cats will do what cats do and there will be double in a few months.
Breeding indiscriminately not only adds to an already overly populated species but exposes the animals to disease and health issues from interbreeding and living in confined areas with lots of other cats.
Veterinary costs have soared and there is only a certain amount of help with this.
The solution is simple, NEUTER OR SPAY YOUR CAT*. It costs a lot more to raise and feed a litter of kittens or to find the money for veterinary fees for injured or poorly cats. If you live in Nottingham, we can help with a voucher toward the cost**.
What we are unable to do is take in every single unwanted cat we are contacted about and that is very hard and plays on your mind.
HELP US by sharing, by letting people know we can assist and get the numbers down. https://rspca-nottinghamandnotts.org.uk/neutering/

*We will also help with the cost of neutering other species and microchipping.

**You must live in our catchment area to qualify but we don't means test.

Our 2024 Christmas Appeal is now Live.
Please help us to help more cats. You can choose to donate to Headquarters or one of our branches via our special Stripe payment link - See here - https://cat77.org.uk/cat-action-trust-news/2024-christmas-appeal

Last year, we neutered over 2700 cats, many of them feral. 89% of donations were spent directly on the cats, so you can be sure we will use your kind donations wisely.
Thank you! 🙏😸

Happy Kitty Blankets can be helpful in calming cats in rescue, stimulating long term foster cats and occupying playful youngsters.
Now, you can "gift a rescue" a HKB and have it sent to one of our branches 😻

Last year when we first ran our Gift a rescue offer, we sent out over 100 Happy kitty blankets to cats in rescue up and down the country! 😻 I wonder what we’ll send this year! Orders are open until December 6th.

Here’s how it works.

You can purchase a Christmas present of a Happy Kitty Blanket for a kitty cat in rescue at a discounted price of £8.20.
(Usually £9.50 + £4 p&p)
You can even name the rescue you’d like it to go to.
That’s all you need to do, we will then send the Happy Kitty Blankets off to the various rescues/charities with little Christmas cards telling them who the gifts are from.

AAAANNDDD a new addition to our Christmas offers is the TREAT A RESCUER. For £11.70 we will send a Happy Kitty Blanket to the rescue of your choice AND a luxury bar of Gatos chocolate to treat a hard working rescue volunteer. This will of course be accompanied by a card stating who the sender is. 😻

This offer, as well as more, can be found on our sumup store link below ⬇️☺️.

T&c: The deadline for ordering this will be December 6th, so we have enough time to get them delivered before Christmas. You will not receive the order yourself, it will go direct from us to the chosen rescue. If you do not specify a rescue we will select one for you.

The Pride of Jersey Awards was a lovely evening and it was great to meet so many people, including quite a few who had adopted cats from me over the last 35 years-I remember them all although sometimes a few clues are helpful!
Thank you Nunisa Lee for setting the ball rolling and allowing me to reach the final 3- thank you for all the cat lovers who voted for me and all the lovely photos that went onto the page of their cats.All really appreciated.
I didn’t get to be the winner however I feel it is a win for cats to be recognised in this way.
Thank you all!

WARNING - PLEASE READ
There is currently an email scam circulating where you will receive what looks like a genuine email asking you to register your pets' microchips to a national database for a fee as they have "expired".
If you receive an email from "PETCHIP" do not respond, DO NOT send them any money, block them and delete.
Please share to your friends for info.
Although in circulation for a few years now, it seems it is back in force and people are receiving emails with their pets name etc. so they look genuine, but they are absolutely a scam - beware!
You can check which chip company your pet is registered with by entering the number on Check A Chip. Once registered on a DEFRA approved database, it is only ever alterations (like new address etc.) you will have to pay for. Chips don't "expire"!!!

The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) is issuing a warning about a website advertised on Google search results that offers pet microchip registration.

Today is
If you hit a cat STOP!
OVER ONE IN TEN DRIVERS HAS LEFT A CAT TO DIE ALONE
It is a sad fact that accidents happen but a driver stopping the car can be the difference between life and death.

If you are a cat owner do please keep your cats in at night for their own safely. Cats are NOT nocturnal, their vision is designed to operate effectively at dawn and dusk. Keeping your cat in at night prevents them being a nuisance to wildlife, safer from road accidents and from theft and cat fights.
