THE STORIES WE FEATURE ON FACEBOOK/OUR WEBSITE ARE JUST A FRACTION OF THE CASES DEAL WITH EVERY SINGLE DAY….

The stories we feature on our social media pages and website – whether abandoned animals (like Garfield), cats waiting for a home (like Kai and Esme, waiting since November 2010), or animals needing substantial veterinary treatment (like Wilson) – are just a tiny fraction of the cases we deal with every single day right across the charity.

The number of animals being abandoned is at crisis levels.  We are seeing more and more pet owners totally reliant on our low-cost veterinary services, and the number of cats under our care awaiting homes is at its absolute limit.

We are struggling under the sheer and consistent demand for our services and the pressure that we are under.  The costs of running the charity are at an all-time high: our sanctuary alone is costing £17,000 per month to run – the main costs being veterinary treatment and food, and we have well over 700 cats under our care across the charity.

We are doing everything we possibly can to deal with this overwhelming demand, but we need you to help us ensure that we have the funds needed to continue our vital work and reach the animals who need us most.

Please donate to our funding appeal via JustGiving today and your donation, no matter how large or small, will have an immediate impact and ensure we can reach those animals who desperately need us.

• Just £10 could feed an orphaned kitten specialist milk for a whole month

• £25 could pay to spay a cat and prevent the birth of many more unwanted litters

• £50 could pay to vaccinate, microchip and neuter a stray cat ready for homing

Please, give what you can today – it really will make a difference to the lives of these animals.

Thank you - from all staff, volunteers and animals at CHAT
