Homes needed for abandoned kittens

Three kittens abandoned in a box

Last Sunday we had a call to say that three kittens had been found at Seaclose Park In Newport. They were found dumped in a cardboard box. This begs the question, how could someone do something like this? Unfortunately this is not the first time that kittens have been abandoned on the Island.

They were brought to the centre and are now safe and well. Around the same time, two kittens were found abandoned in Vectis Road, East Cowes, and four kittens were found in Clarence Road, also in East Cowes underneath a garden shed.

We now have around 50 kittens needing homes, plus a similar number of adult cats. The problem of unwanted cats on the Island remains critical. Unfortunately, we are struggling to find new homes for around 100 animals in our care.

Our kittens are vaccinated, neutered, micro-chipped
Cats Protection are urging people to change the way they think about getting a kitten. Our kittens have had the best start in life.

They are vaccinated, neutered, micro-chipped and come with four weeks free insurance with Petplan. For an adoption fee of only £65.

Neutering alone for a female can cost in excess of £60, a micro-chip is around £20 and a vaccination course is over £50. So that fee of £65, starts to sound very reasonable.

Special offer in July
During the month of July the adoption fees have been reduced by £10.

Fees are now as follows – £40 for a adult cat, £55 for a kitten and £65 for a pair of cats.

Pay us a visit
So please if you are thinking of adopting a kitten or a cat, please come up to Cats Protection’s Adoption Centre, 122 Marlborough Road, Ryde.

The centre is open everyday from 11am-3pm and we will be delighted to meet you. We look forward to seeing you all soon!
