Our Branch
The Branch is one
of many within the national charity Cats' Protection, whose
aims are simple and straightforward:
- To rescue stray and unwanted cats
and kittens, rehabilitate and rehome them where possible.
- To encourage the neutering of all
cats and kittens not required for breeding.
- To inform the public on the care of
cats and kittens.
Our Branch covers Mere & Gillingham
(Dorset), Shaftesbury (shared with Blandford and District),
Sherborne, Tisbury, Templecombe, Wincanton and all the villages
between them. Everywhere with a post code beginning with
BA8, BA9, BA12 (excluding Warminster), DT9, SP3, SP7 (shared)
or SP8 is covered.
Cats Protection has one of the lowest administrative costs of any charity,
but as a voluntary cause we rely entirely on the help and support of
the public. All our Branch workers are unpaid volunteers. If you could
spare a little time each week to help us we would be very grateful to
hear from you. All expenses are paid, so it won't cost you any
thing but your time.

Fund Raising and Webshop
As the Branch is a charity,
it relies on fund-raising events and donations to fund its
work. As you will see at the top of each page, we have a
link to our webshop hosted by BUY.AT. This link provides
access to over 80 internet suppliers including Amazon, Comet,
Marks & Spencer, the RAC and many others. If you like
internet shopping, please try our webshop first. The prices
you pay will be the same, but we will get a small commission
on any transactions made. Please note that all transactions
are subject to the trading terms and conditions of the supplier
concerned and that neither the Mere & Gillingham Branch
nor Cats' Protection can be held responsible for any problems.

Treasurer is always happy to receive donations to help meet
our costs. If you wish to make a donation, please contact
us by phoning the Branch's
Helpline on 01747 840621.
