02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We promote good standards of welfare for cats in shetland, by offering assistance, advice and pratical support to people who are experiencing difficulties with the care of cats. We also assist people who can no longer care for their cats, by finding new homes for them, we do this by advertising the cats on our facebook page and website, and doing home visits to people who enquire, so we match cats to the right home enviroment for them. We also do trap, neuter and return of cats in feral colonies, to help reduce the number of cats living in feral colonies, we also foster any kittens found and rehome them. We also provide food to people who are feeding feral colonies.
