The branch is based in the sunny seaside resort of Frinton-on-Sea and we cover post codes C07 and CO11 - CO16, an area from the River Stour in the north, to the coast and the River Colne in the south, with the coast to the East and the town of Colchester to the west. We are a small group of volunteers involved in caring for unwanted cats and kittens in the Tendring area. Our main aim is to provide new homes for cats and kittens that come into our care. We also have an ongoing neutering programme to try to reduce the number of stray and feral cats in our area.
Our committee oversee all the branch activities which include adoption, fostering, fund raising and publicity. We wish to expand the scope of our activities to the whole Tending area and therefore need more volunteers to help with fund raising events in order to continue with this vital work. Please see our ‘Vacancies’ page if you can help.
All cats in our care undergo veterinary checks and are vaccinated, micro-chipped and, where necessary, neutered. This involves costs that are covered by fundraising events, subscriptions and donations. Membership is a vital part of the branch so if you would like to join, please see our 'Join Us' page for details.
Because our waiting list is currently 3 to 4 weeks, we offer a service called 'Home to Home'. Our branch will advertise a cat that requires re-homing, without it having to come in to one of our foster pens. Any prospective owner will then contact the current owner directly. If you feel that this is the best option for you, please contact the branch.
