CLAWS IS FULL

Sadly , due to so many animals being abused and "dumped” CLAWS is now full. When you call us and we say that we are full, we do mean it. We love animals and it is as upsetting for us to turn you away as it is for you to be refused. Please do not be reduced to abusing either myself or the VOLUNTEER who kindly mans the help line. It gets you nowhere. So please do not call us to take in your cat. We physically can not do it. We can still help on the neutering , vaccination and michrochip side.

THE SANCTUARY WILL BE CLOSED FROM 2ND DECEMBER 2023 TO 16TH JANUARY 2024

In the last few months we have taken in a number of cats which have come round nicely and hopefully will be ready for re-homing in the New Year. They are :Barney, Chloe, Emma and Tegan, Jade, Leo, Lucy, Monty and Sheba

This means that we are now full. Although the sanctuary is closed from 2nd December to 16th January the help line in always open for those emergencies that crop up unexpectedly.

THE FIREWORK SEASON IS UPON US

From now until January 2024 fireworks will be a feature of our lives as this period encompasses not only Guy Fawkes night but celebrations from other creeds and religions.

It is a stressful time and many children, domestic and wild animals will be injured and that is why CLAWS supports the campaign to restrict their use to organised displays.

We advise you to : -

Bring your pets in before it gets dark. Lock the doors and windows pull the curtains and switch on the radio or television to help deaden the noise of the fireworks.
Keep calm. Animals pick up on your emotions and your anxiety will transmit itself to them.
Try to acclimatise your pets to firework noises. Download sounds of fireworks and play them at low levels to your pet, slowly increasing volume over time
Search log piles and bonfires to make sure no hedgehogs and other creatures are sheltering in their depths

Please help to protect these innocent creatures which rely on us for their every need.
