Unless Feline Care can raise £70,000 to buy itself and become a registered charity in our own right - WE WILL BE CLOSING DOWN AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER.
The Cat & Rabbit Rescue Centre, based in West Sussex, currently own Feline Care and all our feline residents will be moved to their premises should we fail in our rescue bid. We need your help.
Initially a deal had been struck to save the sanctuary but the current trustees would not allow it and we are now on a knife's edge. We must make Feline Care safe.
We know £70,000 is a huge goal for such a small sanctuary. If we didn't already run on a shoe string and drag the most out of every single penny then we could opt for a loan. Repayments, alongside other costs which will increase, are simply unaffordable as we are already working our fingers to the bone to pay for the care of our 140+ residents. Raising the money is our only option.
Please, please help.

However you can help, we need you more than ever.
UPDATE: You have saved Feline Care! Thanks to so many kind souls who have rescued our cats - we are all in shock!
Donations are still coming in and our current total is just over £72,000 but please check out our facebook page (see bottom of page) for an up-to-date total.
The Diss Express is running a local appeal for us and our story has been covered by most of the local papers as well as Your Cat magazine who feature us in their current issue!
We've had our breath taken away by how many people have stepped up to help and we're more certain than ever that we can do this! Our Facebook page now has well over 500 'likers' and word is spreading far and wide of our plight, with one donation coming all the way from Canada.
Please keep spreading the word between your friends and family. We need a lot of people's help to make sure Feline Care survives for future generations of abandoned, ill treated and unwanted moggies.
