**What the charity does:** The Charity is set up to: rescue stray & unwanted cats & kittens, rehabilitate and rehome them. Inform the public on the care of cats & kittens & encourage the neutering of cats. The charity provides shelter & veterinary treatment for all cats coming into our care and keeps them housed and fed in comfort in the Shelter until such times as they can be re-homed. We provide all aspects of care from admission to rehoming & any veterinary treatment required including neutering, medication where necessary and any type of veterinary investigation or surgery, including after care when the cat has an ongoing but treatable health problem which can be treated in the new home. We have a neutering voucher scheme for people who are unable to afford neutering . Cats go to the most suitable home possible and the most suitable owner so that they can live a comfortable & happy life thereafter. All cats coming through the shelter are microchipped and given appropriate vaccinations.

**Objectives:** The objects of the League are to promote the welfare of cats in every possible way, including the provision of a shelter under the charge of a suitable resident warden for stray and unwanted cats, the neutering of cats of both sexes by a fully qualified veterinary surgeon, to educate the public in the care and maintenance of cats, and to co-operate with other societies working for the welfare of cats in all ways consistent with this constitution.
