An Influx of Cats - Can You Help?
Typical of what the Branch deals with are the large number of cats who have recently come into our care. 10 came to us when their owner's house burnt down. Another 12 came when their owner died. Others come in smaller groups. We therefore have a mixture of sexes, ages, colours, dispositions, etc. If you can help us find loving new homes for any of these unfortunate animals, please look at their details on this site.
Forthcoming Events
We will be fundraising at the following locations in 2010. Please support us if you can, and if you would like to participate, please contact us.
Three Counties Show, Malvern 18-20 June
Morrisons, Hereford 9-10 July
Wyevale Garden Centre, Hereford 26-27 July
Kington Show 11 September
Cider Musem, Hereford 16-17 October
Wyevale Garden Centre, Hereford 4-5 December
Tesco and Countrywide
Our collections at Tesco and Countrywide raised almost £1,200 (plus donations of food) and about £75 respectively. Thank you to all who donated and helped, and to the stores for hosting us.
Wyevale
Our stall at the Wyevale Garden Centre in Hereford on 5-6 December was successful in helping us raise over £600. Many thanks to all who supported us and to Wyevale. Unfortunately, though, even this generous amount only pays for less than 3 days of the Branch's operations.
Home Visitors
A vital part of our work is ensuring animals in our care go to the right home. Our team of Home Visitors visit each prospective new owner to discuss the animal, how he/she will be cared for, etc. They also make a return visit to see the animal in his/her new home - the most rewarding part. Would you like to help out? Training is provided and expenses paid. Typically, visits average out at an hour once every couple of weeks. Please contact us if you are interested.
Cider Festival
Our stand at the Cider Festival in Hereford on 17-18 October was a success, with visitors taking the chance to meet some of our animals, especially the ferrets. Thanks to all who supported us.
Pet Transport - Can You Help?
Are you able to help us transport our animals from kennels in the Hereford area to the vets for treatment? This only involves a couple of hours a month on average and expenses are paid. You need your own vehicle and to be reasonably fit (eg to help lift post-operative dogs). Training and equipment (eg cages) can be provided. Please contact us if you can help.
Fund Raising At Sainsbury/ASDA
Our collection in Sainsbury's Hereford on 25-26 July raised almost £500 for local animals and we are very grateful to all those who contributed and helped with collecting, and to Sainsbury's. Our shorter collection in ASDA Hereford on 5 September raised £62. We are also grateful to those who contributed to this.
Kington Show
Thank you for supporting our stand at Kington Show on 12 September. We raised £87 with a net income of £28.
Support From Local Businesses
Would your business be willing to have a collecting tin to support our work? Would your staff like the opportunity to help us through Payroll Giving? Please contact us if you are interested.
