Celebrating 30 years of cat care in Worcestershire
Registered Charity 203644
We're in the news!
The Worcester and District branch of Cats Protection prides itself on its work across the county - and the local media is vital to our continued success. Without a rescue centre, it's important our cats are seen to a wider audience. Our cats - and volunteer appeals - have appeared in the Worcester News, Berrow's Worcester Journal, Worcester Standard, Droitwich Standard, Malvern Gazette, Droitwich Advertiser, Evesham Journal and the Tenbury Wells Advertiser.Branch members have also appeared on BBC Radio Hereford & Worcester and we also have a regular section on the Malvern Gazette website. Take a look below at some of the pieces which have appeared in the local press by clicking on the images below which will open up a PDF of the page.

A successful Worcestershire animal rescue shelter is looking for your help as it prepares for an exciting 2011. THINK of the name ‘Diego’ and many people would recall the famous footballer Maradonna, whose famous handball in the 1986 World Cup cheated England out of potential victory. But this Diego is no talented Argie. He’s a cat — and a stunning one at that. Diego is the name given to a fantastic British Blue-cross rehomed from Cats Protection to Anna Wintrip, from Suckley, near Worcester, earlier this year. He is one of 371 cats and kittens taken in by the Worcester and District branch in 2010. Fifty seven kittens were born in the local charity’s care this year, with a massive 411 cats and kittens finding loving new homes. To read more click here or on the image on the left |
