AS A CHARITY WE RECEIVE NO GRANTS SO ALL OF OUR EXPENSES ARE MET BY DONATIONS AND FUNDRAISING, WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF:-

Good quality bric a brac, (no chips or cracks please), unwanted gifts, bottles (full)

New unopened toiletries; jewellery; books; clean toys & games (we cannot sell games with bits missing) also we are only allowed to sell soft toys with the CE mark; craft & handmade items, records/cds/cassettes; tins/sachets of cat food and unused stamps always appreciated;

Good quality (not well worn buttons/zips removed or torn please) clean clothing.  Blankets, jumpers, towels etc that are only suitable for cat bedding please separate from good items needed for shop

 PLEASE DON’T LEAVE DONATED GOODS ON THE DOORSTEP. BY THE TIME WE OPEN THE  SHOP MANY HAVE BEEN STOLEN OR RUINED, WHILST YOU KINDNESS IS APPRECIATED, OUR VOLUNTEERS DO NOT APPRECIATE OPENING BAGS/BOXES THAT HAVE BEEN URINATED OR VOMITED ON.

Also desperately needed are volunteers to help run the shop, ideally  volunteers are needed to work a regular 3 hour shift 9.30 am - 12.30 pm or 12.30 pm - 3.30 pm however, a few hours if only occasionally would be an enormous help. Work might entail either working directly with customers or behind the scenes sorting donations, steaming etc.  Volunteers find the work both enjoyable and satisfying knowing that all profit made will go towards our vital cat rescue work and that YOUR time could help us save a cats life. Please enquire in the shop or ring 01246 279163, (during shop hours only) alternatively please ring Elaine after 6.pm or send an e-mail at any time. 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.

ELECTRICAL GOODS

We are unable to sell the donated electrical  goods, as they need to be tested by a qualified electrician first. Obviously the cost of that would take away any profit, in view of this is there anyone one who is a qualified electrician who would volunteer to do this for us. Please ring Elaine

If you wish to volunteer to help in our shop, please complete details below and return  to the branch address See the contacts page.   with the NAME AND ADDRESS OF 1 REFEREE. Preferably a previous employer
