Cat Rescue Meeting

Monday 6pm
We all arrive at Lynn's to start our meeting. Lynn has kindly provided tea, coffee and bics, cakes. 9 volunteers in all, ready to take on all our jobs. There's a lot to do, even though we have been involved with cat rescue (mainly in the Grantham area) since 1997, we have never been a registered charity and therefore only been able to do as much as we could afford. Therefore 9 of us have got together and we are going for charity status. Our cats around Lincolnshire are in need of help. It may be due to a change in circumstances, or maybe just unwanted, maybe unloved or maybe gone astray, kittens born in freedom, and of course their mums, they all need help from someone and we would like to be that someone.
There will be adverts going in local newspapers and parrish news mags, so keep an eye out and if you live in our area, come and be a volunteer. Even if you only have an hour or two occasionally your help will be apreciated. We need donations of old bedding, towels, cat food anything you can spare will help us become more established. If you are able to foster a cat for us then give us a call. I will shortly be putting a phone number on our blog for you to ring but meanwhile I am happy to take your calls.
Meanwhile, we have taken in our first official cat as our new group, his name is JoJo.
JoJo has come to us after a house fire. His owner, a young lady from our area, was brought out by a fireman only to realise that JoJo was still inside. Anna ran back inside to rescue him, both JoJo and Anna servived the fire, although, due to going back in for JoJo, Anna received some burns that had to be treated. So don't think for one moment that Anna doesn't care, she cares deeply about JoJo. Due to her new circumstances, Anna is unable to keep JoJo and has decided it would be best for him to find a new, loving home.
I will keep you up to date on what happens, as it happens. Our next meeting is on 9 March when we will have more news about our move towards charity status.
