How you can help
the Shetland Branch
Membership
Would you like to become a member of the Shetland Branch of Cats Protection?
- Annual membership costs just £5.00, for which you receive a newsletter twice a year.
- Membership entitles you to a 10% discount on some veterinary treatment
and on boarding fees at Gott Cats.
- All funds raised through membership and events stay in Shetland
to support our work.
- Being a member doesn't mean you have to be a volunteer
as well - unless you want to, of course.
If you would like to become a member of the Shetland Branch,
please download and print out a membership
form and return by post. Alternatively, you can request to become a member by writing to the address given on the About Us page.
Cat Bed Sponsorship
- Become a Cat Bed Sponsor to help with food and accommodation costs
and vets bills.
- Sponsorship costs as little as £3 a month. If you are able
to give more, this would be even more beneficial.*
- Payment can be made by direct debit, cheque or cash, on a monthly
or annual basis. However, you can also make payments intermittently,
if you prefer.
- In return, we'll keep you informed of the progress of the cats
in the shelter and how your contribution is helping them.
* It costs around £2 a day to keep each cat and that
doesn't include the cost of veterinary expenses. Multiply this
by the number of cats we have in our care and you will see why
we need financial support.
If you wish to become a sponsor, please
download and print out a sponsorship
form and return by post. Your generosity will be much appreciated.
Fostering
- Fosterers are a vital part of our work, giving temporary shelter
to young cats and kittens and caring for them in the first few weeks
of their lives.
- Fostering is hard work but endlessly rewarding, especially when
you see the kitten you've cared for transformed into a confident,
friendly, playful young cat.
- The Shetland Branch will provide you with kitten pens, food and
litter. We also cover veterinary costs. And we'll give you as much
help and support as you need.
Do you think you have what it takes
to be a fosterer? Visit the Fostering page for an idea of what is involved. If you wish to become a fosterer, please contact us.
Volunteers
We are always looking for volunteers to help us with our fundraising events. Volunteers can help us in many ways, including:
- Baking for fundraising events
- Helping with transport
- Helping on sales stalls
- Helping us with cat welfare matters.
How much you do is entirely up to you.
Could you spare a little of your time? If you can help us in any way, please contact
us.
Sponsored Event
If you are considering taking part in a run or other event, would you consider being sponsored and supporting the Cats Protection Shetland Branch? If so, you can download and print out an official sponsor form. Your time and effort will be very much appreciated.
Donations
Alternatively, you can help us by simply making a one-off donation.
We would be grateful for any donation to help with our
work. If you wish to donate to the Shetland Branch of Cats Protection,
please download and print out a donation form and send, with an accompanying cheque payable to Cats Protection Shetland, to the address given on the About Us page.
Any donation, however small, would be greatly appreciated.
