How your charity stream helps kittens like Mcvitie

McVitie and his siblings (lovingly known as the biscuit kittens) were abandoned at our Kent Cat Centre in a cardboard box covered with chicken wire. Once safely inside the centre, our team began to peel back the layers of wire, hearing the small meows coming from inside. To their astonishment, inside the box were 13 little kittens. Yes, 13! All of them guessed to be just 10 weeks old. They were crammed on top of each other in the stifling 27˚C heat, exhausted and underweight, so the team began checking them over one by one and gave them some food once we knew they were ok.

All the kittens are now happy, healthy and have found new loving homes. Unfortunately, not all cats are so lucky, which is why we need your support.  

Current Stream for Cats fundraising campaigns to get involved with

Stream for Cats: craft edition

Cats Protection wants to be there for every cat's journey. A big part of this is making the world a better place for cats through increasing understanding and awareness, alongside raising funds so every cat has their best possible chance at a happy life.

Why crafting? 

Crafting lets you bring your community together and be creative, all while making a difference to cats in need.  

Whether you’re knitting a cosy scarf, building a masterpiece in Minecraft, or painting your cat's portrait, crafting offers an opportunity for your audience to be part of the process. Let them influence your creation with their donations and make fundraising fun and your content engaging. 

Check out our guides and try your hand at making cat toys, or take a look at our resources for more cat content for your stream.

How does this help cats?

Other ways to help: 

Share, share, share! If you know someone that’d be a great fit for this campaign, we want to know about them. Use your platform to educate your audience about the challenges of cat abandonment and inspire them to make a difference. 

The abandonment campaign

Cats will never know why they’ve been abandoned. They only know the cold, fear and hunger, and that they’re far from home. This year we’ve seen cat abandonment rise by over 30%.   

Right now, abandoned cats are hungry, cold and afraid. Every day more are being brought to our already busy cat centres, with the cost to feed, treat and care for them rising with each new set of paws. You can help lighten this load, until we find them a loving new home.  

This winter, we’re focusing on raising awareness and funds for the many cats facing abandonment and neglect. We hope you’ll use your platform to support Cats Protection in providing these vulnerable cats and kittens with the vital care they need.  

Here are some ways you can use your platform to make a difference:  

  • raise funds. Whatever content you're comfortable with, whether it’s gaming, just chatting, crafting or something else, use it to fundraise and help cover costs for the cats in our care  
  • educate. During your breaks, share with your community the impact and challenges posed by cat abandonment  
  • share our stories. Share our case studies highlighting stories of abandoned cats that have been successfully rehomed and the importance of adoption  
  • amplify the campaign. Share this campaign on your socials and use your platform to highlight the realities of cat abandonment. Encourage your audience to share their own stories and experiences  

We’ll be thanking our fundraisers with a selection of fantastic rewards for you and your cat when hitting fundraising milestones:  

  • Raise £50 and receive a sisal mouse for your cat 
  • Raise £150 and receive a Cats Protection beanie 
  • Raise £200 and receive some play balls for your cat 
  • Raise £250 and receive a pair of very cool gaming headset cat ears 
  • Raise £300 and receive some catnip mice for your cat 
  • Raise over £500 for us and as a thank you we will send your cat a fun pop-up tunnel
