A ground-breaking project to help stray cats in socio-economically deprived areas, which has also brought benefits to people in the community, has received a £100,000 funding boost.
Cats Protection’s Cat Watch projects set out to help improve the welfare of stray cats through an community-partnership concept.
Launched in areas of Nottingham and Liverpool, where communities were in need of help to manage their stray cat population, the scheme inspired local people to take part in a variety of ways.
By involving the community at grass roots level, the charity was able to identify and neuter stray cats and ensure on-going support to safeguard the welfare of stray cats.
The project has now received a funding boost following a £100,000 grant from Support Adoption for Pets, a charity which supports animal rehoming organisations.
