Animals In Need Liverpool

ANIMALS IN NEED are very grateful to the CATS PROTECTION

for all their assistance with neutering vouchers.

We recommend that all cats should be neutered. This can be done from four months of age.

If you can't afford to get your cat neutered, because you are on means-tested benefits, then we may be able to contribute towards the cost.

Cats Protection champions neutering as the only effective way to reduce the number of unwanted felines in the UK!

We seek to dispel myths, spread the neutering message and make it easier for owners on low incomes to get their cat neutered.

We also run targeted neutering campaigns in specific areas, see your local press for details.

Cats Protection may be able to help with the cost of neutering your cat.

You can qualify for support if you are the owner of the cat that is to be neutered and also one of the following:

• A full-time student
• On means-tested benefit

If your application is successful, you will be sent a voucher which must be given to your veterinary surgeon when your cat goes for its operation.

For more information phone our Helpline on 03000 12 12 12 or contact your local branch.

Multi-cat neutering

We may be able to offer financial assistance to help neuter groups of six or more cats in one household. Please phone our Helpline on 03000 12 12 12 for more details about this scheme.

Did you know that...

The current value of the vouchers is £26 for female cats and £20 for male cats.

You will need to pay the remaining amount yourself directly to the veterinary practice.

An uncontrolled feral colony will grow quickly; the cats will be susceptible to disease and may also become a nuisance. Simply removing the cats isn't a long term solution, as a new colony will soon move in.

The best option therefore is to neuter all of the resident feral cats within as short a time frame as possible. Over a period of years this will reduce the size of the colony. A controlled, healthy and manageable colony will deter other ferals from moving in and will keep vermin levels down.

We may be able to help towards the cost of neutering a feral colony, provided that the cats are returned to site and their subsequent well being is assured (in terms of daily feeding and veterinary treatment).

The contribution is for assistance with neutering costs only and must not be used for other veterinary treatment or euthanasia. Your application needs to be made in advance of any neutering taking place, as payment cannot be made after the event.

For more information about feral neutering please phone our Helpline on 03000 12 12 12.

Did you know that...

We will assess how much we can contribute towards the operations and contact you (please note that we won't pay the full amount).

It is worth contacting several vets to see if any of them will give you a special price for neutering a large number of cats.
