BELLA & PUDDING |
ABOUT US We find loving homes in the Chesterfield & District area for rescued domesticated and outdoor cats: We increase public awareness, advise how to find out if a cat is lost and if so how to find its owner, (please see lost & found page) we can also advise how to care for abandoned cats until we have the space to bring them in. We find new and loving homes for numerous cats annually. We help over 1000 cats every year through our neutering programme and many other ways in which a cat may need our aid. All the cats in our care have every luxury that they could ever want (except a purrfect home), they have heated pens, radios, good quality cat food and most importantly, as much TLC as their hearts desire. As we have a no destruction policy (unless we are advised by our vet that a cat is terminally ill and suffering) our vet bills are huge, in any one month it can be more than £3000, which for a small band of volunteers is an enormous amount. We can give advice but please remember we are not vets and if you are concerned your cat is not well you must call your vet, all vets are on call 24 hours a day and a timely visit could save your cats life. LEAVING IT TILL TOMORROW COULD BE TOO LATE. Every year, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of cats and millions, of other animals are euthanased because they were born into a world that does not have enough homes for them. For every one companion animal who lives indoors with a human family and receives the attention, health care, and emotional support that he or she needs, there are thousands just barely surviving. Millions of domestic animals never know a kind human touch and live hard lives on the street before dying equally hard death. We recommend that your male neutered at 5 months and you females spayed at 6 months, please do not leave it later than this as this can lead to various cancers in later life due to the onset of hormonal developments, which happen after 6 months. So despite all those 'old wives tales' it really isn't best to leave your female kitten to have a litter or her first season prior to neutering. See why neuter/spay. Perhaps you will care to view .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ4M-H29LCw although not shot in the UK the problem is still an issue here. It is not nice but a fact and good reason to spread the word as to why neutering/spaying is essential Can you help; all the money raised is used to rescue and care for cats and kittens, do you have any hidden talents? We are desperate for dedicated cat-lovers who have time on their hands (preferably between the ages of 16 & 100) who can commit a few hours a week/month or even occasionally to helping us with all aspects of cat rescue. Fostering, , home visitors, transport to vets or perhaps you can collect bric-a-brac etc for us, good quality items are always needed. Do you have any unwanted gifts etc for tombola/raffle prizes? Can you publicise our work by putting up posters? Are you a builder, electrician or carpenter who could help with the building & upkeep of cat pens? FUNDRAISERS, we have the comparability and knowledge to save many cats however without funds we can do nothing. You, yes you can help save a cats life, without you there is no us. Please pass our website address to anyone you know who might be interested. These are some of the many ways that you could help your local branch, please give us some thought and call, appropriate phone numbers are on our contacts page. Volunteers for our shop are also needed a few hours to spare every week or even occasionally would be ery much appreciated. We need people to serve behind the counter, to sort clothing when donations are brought in, to steam or iron the garments before they are put out on the rails and keep the rails fully stocked. All this isn’t just down to us poor women…oh no, all you men out there who have a little spare time, how about coming along and helping us girls shift all the heavier stuff ! We do our sorting away from the sales area so we need you burly guys to help as well, and if you are really good we will even make you a cuppa. Seriously though, we do need your help urgently, please call us instead of in perhaps a few years time saying I would have, could have & should have. This will enable the fosterers who are helping to run the shop due to lack of volunteers, care for the cats once again full time and perhaps save a cats life that may be in danger if we do not have the time. ALERT A NATIONAL ALERT HAS BEEN ISSUED TO CAT OWNERS AFTER POLLEN FROM A BUNCH OF LILIES CAUSED THE DEATH OF A PET CAT. THE CAT BRUSHED PAST LILIES AND THEN GROOMED THE POLLEN FROM HER FUR. SEE TOXIC PLANTS & TOXIC SUBSTANCES. 2) PLEASE DO NOT GIVE WORM TREATMENTS FOR DOGS TO YOUR CAT. VERY RECENTLY SOMEONE TRIED TO TREAT THEIR CAT WITH A SHOP BOUGHT TREATMENT AND EVEN AFTER A £400+ VET BILL IT KILLED ONE OF THE CATS AND THE OTHER ONLY JUST SURVIVED. 3) MANY SUBSTANCES THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR DOGS ARE ABSOLUTELY TOXIC TO CATS. EVEN FOOD, A DOG CAN LIVE QUITE HAPPILY ON CAT FOOD YET A CAT CANNOT LIVE ON DOG FOOD.

INDOOR CATS More and more people are nowadays asking for indoor cats. (Please see the indoor/outdoor debate page). However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that many owners do not realize that it is just as important to flea and worm indoor as those that are allowed some outside access. It is also in your pets interest to use treatments recommended by a vet rather than purchase some of the treatments that are available in pet shops and supermarkets.
