Cat Protection League

Cats Protection

The Cats Protection in Gwent is one of over 260 branches of Cats Protection volunteers in the UK, rescuing, treating, neutering and re-homing unwanted or abandoned cats and kittens. This is done through a network of fosterers, who care for the needy animals until someone offers them a loving home.

 

The branch was formed in 1979 & we have had our ups and downs in this period but have been fairly stable for the majority of the time. At the end of 2000 a large number of the committee retired or left the branch, leaving a few panicked volunteers!

 

We held a major recruitment drive in Feb 2001, which was a do or die affair. If we were unable to attract new, active volunteers then the branch would probably have closed. It was successful beyond our greatest expectations.

 

We were able to recruit, amongst others, a homing officer, 3 new fosterers, 5 new home visitors and a new web site designer. We had over 10 volunteers that have stayed the course and so the branch continues! We have regrouped, rearranged and are now a thriving, busy branch.

 

For the first few months of 2001 we were operating on only 3 pens. We are now up to 13 outdoor pens, 4 permanent bedrooms, and also 2-3 emergency rooms, which are often full!

If you would like to offer a cat a home (subject to a friendly home visit!), would like to help in anyway or would simply like some more information then please see contact details.

Homing

One of the objectives of the Cats Protection is to rescue stray and unwanted cats and kittens, rehabilitating and rehoming them where possible. Most cats are intelligent, playful and friendly and as long as a good home can be found, most can be rehomed.

 

Did you know:

  • Gwent South can have between 30-40 cats in care at any one time.
  • We have a few long term cats who have been persistently over looked and have had to make a home with their foster parent.
  • We also feed, neuter and provide veterinary care for a number of feral colonies in the area.
  • The branch is run by volunteers who give up their time, homes and often money, to help the needy cats in the area

The Cats Protection in Gwent is one of over 260 branches of Cats Protection volunteers in the UK, rescuing, treating, neutering and re-homing unwanted or abandoned cats and kittens.

Itching - Fleas or Allergies?
All that itching and scratching -- it must be fleas! If your dog is constantly itching and scratching, a Kansas State University dermatologist says allergies may be to blame instead of fleas. Mary Bagladi-Swanson, assistant professor at K-State's Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, says dogs experience most forms of allergies in the form of skin irritation. "Humans may experience hay fever, sneezing and congestion," Bagladi-Swanson said. "A dog, on the other hand, will experience more skin irritation and do more scratching." Three types of allergies are common in dogs. Flea allergic dermatitis is the most common form of allergy and is caused by fleabites. Atopic dermatitis, or atopy, is associated with pollen, household dust mites and molds and is estimated to occur in 15 percent of dogs. Food allergies are believed to be the least common of the three types of canine allergies. Dogs may have an allergic reaction after eating certain foods or commercial dog food ingredients such as wheat, soy or beef, said Bagladi-Swanson......
