Pussycat Lodge
Registered charity 1209280
WE MUST SECURE OUR FUTURE AND NEED YOUR HELP
Who we are:
Pussycat Lodge rescues and rehomes cats and kittens, helping and supporting our local cat-loving community.
We are your ONLY local volunteer run rescue with a central hub that provides love, food, shelter, and medical care for up to 50 cats.
With your help and support we save 250 to 300 cats every year.
What is changing:
After 25 years at our current location, we need to find a new home for our central hub if we are to continue Pussycat Lodge in the way we all know and love it. This is a huge challenge, but we are dedicated to our cause and our rescue is just too special not to fight for it's future.
Why we need YOU:
We need all of you to help us take Pussycat Lodge into it's 'Next Chapter'. We simply cannot do this on our own.
Your ideas can help us shape our future.
Your skills and expertise will help create it.
Your donations are needed to fund it.
