Rehoming the cats that are brought to the shelter is our number one priority and our policy is to never have a healthy cat put to sleep. 2009 has been a very hectic year and the number of cats and kittens looked after and homed by the Shelter and the fosterers was a staggering 1,065.
The Open Pen
Our open pen area has heated pens, lots of things to climb on and a great amount of space for cats to stretch their legs. If you have to be in a cat shelter this is the fun place to be.
Volunteers Needed
We are desperately short of volunteer help at the Shelter especially at weekends. If you love cats this is your big chance! Help is required to feed the cats, change litter trays and tidy up the pens. During the week we have paid workers, but any volunteer help saves LCR a great deal of money that can be spent on cat care. We do have some volunteers for Saturday and Sundays but due to health problems, family commitments or holidays, our usual volunteers cannot always be there every weekend. More volunteer help would greatly ease the problem and so if you think you could offer some time on Saturday or Sunday mornings, please phone Nicky on 01875 821025. Even a couple of hours is a big help!
