The Sheffield Cats Shelter’s plea for neutering as it tries to deal with over 100 cats in need

Transcript

00:00I think we've got just over 30 in the shelter at the moment then we've got about another 15 on foster

00:07and then I think our waiting list is still about 55 long, 55 forms so that's application forms

00:13that could be more than one cat though. Over the last year especially the cost of living crisis

00:18has really affected a lot of people and rescues I guess it's affected everybody really.

00:24Food, litter, debt bills that kind of thing can all add up and a lot of people have been struggling

00:29to keep up with those costs so where we can we've been trying to help with that.

00:35It's just really important for us that the message of neutering, microchipping,

00:40good cat welfare really, good animal welfare is being spread and just trying to encourage people

00:48to neuter their animals and to seek out help if they're struggling to neuter their animals as

00:52well and because help is out there you just need to ask for it and that's you know that's what

00:57we're here for we want to want to help as many people as we can as many cats as we can as well

01:01and hopefully spreading that message will mean that more people will have their cats neutered

01:08which hopefully in the long run will mean that less cats are having to come through rescue

01:12because less are being born unexpectedly. Of course it's always helpful to us if people can

01:18donate a little bit of money or a little bit of food, anything cat related, anything their

01:24cats don't use that will always be very gratefully received here. Thank you very much.
