The charity offers advice and help via the website and facebook page and over the telephone. As an advocate charity of Cats Protection we offer neutering vouchers to the general public for feral and owned cats whose owners cannot afford neutering. We offer loan of cat traps to trap feral cats and neuter them and either return them to the location they were trapped or if causing a problem or the cats are in danger relocate them on farms or smallholdings to assist with vermin control. If we think the cats could be socialised and have a new life as a pet we take them into a cattery and work with them. Annually with Cats Protection Vouchers we assist in neutering 80 cats and as such are able to actively promote neutering for cats over 4 months old. Besides the cats we have Summary of the main neutered under the Cats Protection Vouchers this year we have taken in activities undertaken for the another 80 cats, neutered them and given them veterinary treatment public benefit in relation to before rehoming them.
