Microchipping your cats is so, so important. We have many puss cats come through our doors without a chip and this makes it incredibly difficult for rescues like ours to reunite cats with their families. Equally important is keeping your details up to date if you should move or change phone numbers. These simple steps don't take long at all and could make all the difference if your cat were to go missing.

Thank you everyone for donating but especially thank you to Maddie for thinking of us and taking the time to collect the food during your holidays! A great big thank you to you!
