A stitch in time saves nine, or ninety!
Prevention is always better than cure and nowhere is that more apparent than in the
cat rescue business.
At Worthing Cat Welfare Trust we rescue, rehabilitate and re-home over 300
felines every year, about a third of them kittens. Whilst we adore kittens –
as anybody in their right mind does – the sheer number born without a ready home to
go to generates a huge burden on our charity in both financial and human resource
terms.
That is why we are offering a subsidised neutering, spaying and micro-chipping scheme for owners facing particular financial problems in these difficult times.
In return for a £35 donation (males) or £45 donation (females) towards neutering or spaying and a £15 donation towards microchipping, our veterinary partners will carry out the procedure and Worthing Cat Welfare Trust will pick up the rest of the bill. All you have to do is pick up the cat and all they have to do is stop producing more kittens! Market prices are about three times higher than this.
Apart from the obvious population benefits, it is also a vital way to reduce the risks to
Tom, who wanders around neighbourhoods on the prowl, prone to very real dangers
on busy roads. Almost as important, of course, is micro-chipping (to become a legal requirement from June 2024) which gives the very highest chance of recovering cats that wander off.
