Rescue and Shelter Appeal for Cats Reg. Charity No1105653The Scratching Post is a cat rescue charity, based in Waltham Abbey, Essex, but covering a much wider area. We have a charity shop in Enfield, we rely solely on charitable donations and are very grateful to all of our volunteers.
Our policy is to ensure that no cat is ever kept in unsuitable accommodation while it is waiting for a home. Every cat's individual needs are catered for and the best expert help is provided. We never put a cat to sleep unless there is no hope of being able to save him or her with a good quality of life, as advised by our vets. Every cat in its own right is important and deserves the chance of a loving home and a happy life. Our pens are quite large giving each one freedom to move around, and we have open plan units with a small garden area for our longer term residents. The scratching post also deals with feral cats. These cats are trapped, neutered and returned to where they came from, or found a new site. Whilst they are with us, they are kept in an open plan enclosure, where they have space to run, hide and play.  ANNUAL OPEN DAY AND CRAFT FAIR
Saturday September 1st, 12-4pm and Sunday September 2nd, 11 am-3pm EN9 3QL Waltham Abbey, United Kingdom
Please do come along to support us on this, our annual fundraiser. We have been saving all of our BEST goodies for the fair, there will be lots of stalls for you to pick up gorgeous gifts, craft items, jewellery, knitted goods, treats for your kitty and for you too! Never too early to start buying Christmas presents either! A wonderful selection of food will be available, with our newlyweds Susan and Steve hard at work at the BBQ including gorgeous veggie/vegan items. Of course it wouldn't be the fete without our usual fantastic selection of cakes! There will be a shuttle service between the fair and our cattery at Waltham Abbey so you can also view our beautiful gifts and cats all in one day, or just come along to the cattery to get a lift to the fair. Free admission but donations of cat food are always appreciated. Susan's first book! 'How on earth did I get here? Sally thought, as she scratched her head in confusion whilst wondering how eleven years of her life had flashed past in a flap of work, worry and tears.' A charming tale of comedy, tragedy, and cat antics. This is the story of how a cat rescue charity started and its horrendous journey to the present day - from of course the cats' perspective! I promise you wont stop laughing and crying! As you would expect, all profits from this book to be donated to The Scratching Post. To get hold of your copy, please call into the The Shop or The Shelter/Cattery or email Susa at susan.delaney@aol.co.uk for postage costs, remembering to state your location. Please check ahead if you would like Susan to be there to sign your copy! The book is £9.99 including postage, UK. Would make a fabulous Christmas present for the cat lover in your life! The book is now also available on Amazon for Kindle.
* Leaving the world a better place - leaving a legacy to help the cats * Love is......mother and son.....PurrsIn the United Kingdom 74% of people support a charity during their lifetime but only 7% leave any gift to a charity within their will. Worse still, many pets are left behind without any provision. We get calls to houses where cats have been left behind because there is no-one to care for them, or the family simply aren't interested in caring for them, no matter HOW MUCH THEY MEANT TO THEIR OWNER or how well provided for the family are in their will. In some cases we have heard about cats being taken to the vet to be put to sleep - DON'T LET THIS BE YOUR BELOVED PET. Discuss your wishes with your family and then INCLUDE IT IN YOUR WILL. Leaving some of your estate to charity can also help reduce the inheritance tax you are obligated to pay. If you wish to leave us a lasting legacy, please remember the Scratching Post in your Will.Remember The Scratching Post in your Will |
