Lincoln Cat Care

Why are we different? We are entirely local people running a non profit making group to help needy cats in our local area. Everyone lives locally, knows the local problems and is available to offer any help that we can

Our only concern is to give the best quality of life to every cat that we can. There are many cases every week of cats not having the treatment they need because they have no owner, the owners are not insured, insurance or PDSA does not cover the treatment needed or other reasons.

What percentage of our funds goes to cats?

In short, all of it! In reality there are a few overheads that we cannot bear out of our own pockets—phone line, postage, traps etc but none of the precious funds goes to salaries or transport.

Why should you give us your money?

If you are a cat lover then you should support us as we really care and it is the local cats that your money will be spent on. If you are not a cat lover you should support us as without ensuring that the strays and unwanted cats are neutered and treated their numbers will only grow. Your money will help cats in your area and you will have the knowledge that you helped make a difference to your environment.
