A big, big thanks to everyone for offering to help.

The cat sanctuary has received several donations from people on this forum since I posted the original appeal message and Janice (the lady who runs the sanctuary) is immensely grateful. I will keep you all updated on the situation and how the cats are faring.

Well if can work out where to send a few pennys i will lol

Shame that folk feed hills to their pets at the suffing & mirsey of other animals

Did you see Hill's Animal welfare statement on The petition thread before Mags?
I don't think they could get away with this statement if it wasn't true. I'm not sure that PETA are always reliable. I like to give mine Hills as is a reaonable price, they are very healthy and Shiny on it and importantly, they like it. If I had a confirmation that they test on animals, I would stop buying it today. I think the animal welfare charities would take them to court if they were lying. Iams though - I wouldn't have it if they were giving it away.

Will defo donate once pay day arrives

Tan · « **Reply #10 on:** September 11, 2007, 18:29:30 PM »

Have sent a donation via their Paypal email direct to them.

Dee ( Diane) is the lady that posted here. I an very very sure all donations would be very gratefully received.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #9 on:** September 11, 2007, 18:10:03 PM »

As they are obviously desperate for money I think I will send my donation direct to them now.

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #8 on:** September 11, 2007, 18:07:12 PM »

Good point Mark, can someone let us know what everyone else is doing please, if they know

Mark · « **Reply #7 on:** September 11, 2007, 18:04:39 PM »

Not sure if its best to send a paypal donation direct or have the food delivered. Maybe they get a discount in which case we are probably better off donating direct so they get more for the money. We can just say in the comments box that we are from purrs so she knows

If anyone has a good idea, let us know - the main thing is getting them some grub

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #6 on:** September 11, 2007, 17:56:12 PM »

Count me in ... let me know where to send the donation.

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #5 on:** September 11, 2007, 16:53:43 PM »

Great Idea, I love it when a plan comes together

Who would we send donations to

Dawn F · « **Reply #4 on:** September 11, 2007, 16:40:26 PM »

good plan Mark, I'll chip in

jetcleo · « **Reply #3 on:** September 11, 2007, 16:34:11 PM »

That's a good idea Mark

Mark · « **Reply #2 on:** September 11, 2007, 16:24:03 PM »

Benji is gorgeous. I will send a donation

I wonder if we could have a whip-round and get some food & litter delivered via zooplus or whoever is cheapest?

Whiskers New Park is an established cat sanctuary in County Galway, Ireland. It has been run for 14 years by the founder of the sanctuary, Janice Simcox, and her husband. At the moment there are over 50 cats there which are cared for single-handedly by Mrs. Simcox!

These cats have previously been abused, Involved in road accidents or just dumped on the doorstep. Some have been cared for at the sanctuary for many years as suitable homes haven't been found. A few cats are seriously ill but she refuses to give up on them. She gives every bit of her energy into caring for these cats including frequent vet runs either to immunize the cats or to treat the sick ones as well as finding new homes with responsible owners.

Sadly after years of financial struggle, she has completely run out of money and is relying on her husband’s sick pay to help feed the cats. The phone has been cut off and the sanctuary bills are going unpaid. She is now relying on friends to bring the cat's food and litter.

If anyone lives near to Williamstown, County Galway in Ireland and wants to volunteer to help out, she would be overjoyed!
Or, if anyone wants to drop in some dried cat food, Whiskas sachets (for the sick cats and kittens) or wood pellet cat litter then that would help so much too.

The rescue centre is desperate for funds as it gets nothing in donations from the public.
