WHO ARE LOSTCATSBRIGHTON?

The driving force behind LostCatsBrighton is Mr Ron Ayres. His hard work and dedication to helping cats has transformed a small Lost & Found list into Brightons newest cat rescue organisation. What began as one man helping a couple of cats in need has grown into a service that helped more than 180 of Brightons needy cats in 2007.

The Helpers

Ron is assisted by a small band of volunteers who offer their time and effort to keep things running as smoothly as possible. There’s David, who helps out in the office and with the cats, and Steve, Andy, Graham, Arun & Shannon, who help with the cleaning & feeding. We’re always looking for more people to help out so please get in touch if you have a couple of hours to spare in the week. We’re especially looking for someone to help out with the morning cleaning and feeding sessions. (Be warned - there are Litter Trays!!)

The Future for LostCatsBrighton.

Our first priority for 2008 is to upgrade our pens and thus offer the cats that come to us the best care possible. We would also like to add on a garden run which would make a cats time spent with us more natural. We urgently need funds to do this and to cover our ever increasing vets bills (approximately £15000 in 2007). As always we’re here for the cats of Brighton and will continue to help for as long as possible.

The Cats & The Money

The only set charge at LCB is a £10 charge for a microchip. Every cat that comes to LostCatsBrighton is seen by our vets and if necessary given medical treatment. All cats are fully vaccinated, wormed, flea’d and microchipped. This is routine and means that our outlay for each cat starts at around £60. For this reason we do ask for a donation of at least £30 for each cat on top of the microchip charge. Thank You.

Brighhton’s Lost Cats that are looking for new Homes

Name: Bells Sex: Female Age: 5+

Date Arrived : November 2007

Background : Bells was brought to us for rehoming

Details : When Bells first arrived it was obvious that she has emotional issues . She had been rescued by her owner after being abandoned and was brought to us when circumstances changed. She has made progress in the pen and has started showing affection to our evening volunteer. We’re looking for a new home for her with an owner who could take on the challenge of building a trusting relationship with her.

Name: Fred Sex: Male Age: 5+

Date Arrived : November 2007

Background : Fred was brought in as stray and had been living in a shed for many months.

Details : Fred is a painfully shy cat who allows you to stroke him but who shows signs of aggression at times. He doesn’t like being in the pen but is slowly responding to affection. He’s ideally looking for a new owner who will understand that trust building takes time and who will give him the space, love and understanding to grow in.

Name: Calvin Sex: Male Age: 3+

Date Arrived : 17th January 2008

Background : Calvin is a Found cat who is now looking for a new home.

Details : Calvin has been with us for 4 weeks now and has appeared in the Argus. No-one has come forward to claim him and he is now looking for a new home and a caring owner to help him keep his coat nice. He’s a very nice cat and will make a very loving pet.

Name: Whiskey Sex: Female Age: 9

Date Arrived : 12th January 2007

Background : Whiskey is an only-cat who has been living alone since her owner sadly passed away.

Details : Whiskey understandably doesn’t like other cats and is still very nervous in the pen. She’s looking for a new home as the only cat and with no small children. She’d make a lovely companion for an older person.
