Charity event hopes to raise money for cats without homes here in Doncaster

Cats Protection Doncaster is hosting a fun day on Saturday, 25 July with games and stalls for all the family.

The event is being held between 11am to 4pm at Bridge House Cattery, Chequer Lane, Bramwith, where the charity houses some of its cats while they await adoption. Entirely run by volunteers, the Doncaster team takes in and cares for cats that are unwanted, abandoned or stray before finding them loving new homes.

As well as traditional games such as a tombola and a bottle stall, there will be craft and second-hand goods for sale. There will also be a cake and refreshments stand.

A children's corner will offer free games and activities, including beat the goalie and a racing game, with winners receiving a small prize.

Volunteers will be on hand to talk all things cat-related, as well as offering advice to anyone thinking of adopting.

Branch team leader Maureen Young said: “We look forward to welcoming supporters old and new to our fun day. All money raised from the event will go directly back into helping cats and kittens that need our help.

“This time of year, we are particularly busy with litters of unwanted kittens, and we rely on the generosity of those who choose to donate to us to ensure these cats are given the very best care.”

Among the cats currently been cared for by Doncaster volunteers are Ozzy and Olly, three-month-old brothers, who are now ready and waiting to be adopted. For more information on Cats Protection Doncaster and to see all the cats available for adoption visit www.cats.org.uk/doncaster
