Cute cats like Chilli need foster parents

He is one of many cats currently being looked after by Cats Protection in Luton and Dunstable, who need your help to find a happy home again.

The unwanted cats are in desperate need of foster carers to look after them in the short term while they wait for a new home.

Cats Protection spokesperson Rebecca Healey said: “Cat fosterers play a vital role in our charity by caring for cats in their own home until a new owner can be found.

“No special equipment is needed but cat fosterers do need to have either a spare room or an area in their garden where a cat pen can be housed and, of course, a love of cats is a must.”

The charity will provide plenty of assistance and support materials for all fosterers.

Rebecca added: “Offering a temporary home to a cat in need can be an incredibly rewarding experience, and becoming a volunteer for Cats Protection is a great way to meet new friends – both human and feline!”

Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity and the Luton, Dunstable and District branch is part of the charity’s nationwide network of 257 volunteer-run branches and 30 adoption centres that together help over 230,000 cats each year.

As well as finding new homes for unwanted and abandoned cats, the charity also offers cat care advice to the public and can help towards the cost of neutering.
