LATEST NEWS - CAT BLOG
Thank You for taking the time to visit our website, it’s taken longer than expected to put together and we hope you’ll find it a worthwhile experience. There’s a lot of work involved in cat rescue and we’re hoping to reflect some of that work in this page. The idea is to keep a weekly diary on the Cat Blog to keep our regular visitors more clearly updated as to what’s going on at LCB. Fingers crossed it’s not so busy that this page suffers!
WHO ARE LOSTCATSBRIGHTON?
The driving force behind LostCatsBrighton is Mr Ron Ayres. His hard work and dedication to helping cats has transformed a small Lost & Found list into Brightons newest cat rescue organisation. What began as one man helping a couple of cats in need has grown into a service that helped more than 180 of Brightons needy cats in 2007.
The Helpers
Ron is assisted by a small band of volunteers who offer their time and effort to keep things running as smoothly as possible. There’s David, who helps out in the office and with the cats, and Steve, Andy, Graham, Arun & Shannon, who help with the cleaning & feeding. We’re always looking for more people to help out so please get in touch if you have a couple of hours to spare in the week. We’re especially looking for someone to help out with the morning cleaning and feeding sessions. (Be warned - there are Litter Trays!!)
The Future for LostCatsBrighton.
Our first priority for 2008 is to upgrade our pens and thus offer the cats that come to us the best care possible. We would also like to add on a garden run which would make a cats time spent with us more natural. We urgently need funds to do this and to cover our ever increasing vets bills (approximately £15000 in 2007). As always we’re here for the cats of Brighton and will continue to help for as long as possible.
The Cats & The Money
The only set charge at LCB is a £10 charge for a microchip. Every cat that comes to LostCatsBrighton is seen by our vets and if necessary given medical treatment. All cats are fully vaccinated, wormed, flea’d and microchipped. This is routine and means that our outlay for each cat starts at around £60. For this reason we do ask for a donation of at least £30 for each cat on top of the microchip charge. Thank You.
