Grateful thanks to Joan Blackwell, in, Birmingham. A long

term supporter of C.A.T.S . With your hard work and

dedication over the years you have helped enabled us to

continue this vital work.

Also a BIG thank you to Patti, Emma of Birmingham for

their fundraising and support.

C.A.T.S would also like to say a BIG lhank you to everyone who has

supported us over the past months and years. No matter how you help us

and what you do C.A,T,S couldn't function without out you, so gtve

yourself a pat on the back, We would also like to say thank you in

advance for the help you will hopeiully continue to give us this year and

onward.

Jackie and her Truslees are very sad to announce the passing of one of the

Sanctuary's best loved characters. Jerry was an extremely popular and friendly

resident at the Sanctuary. When Jerry arrived the vet identified health problems

which had stunted his groMh and his condition was such that he becarne a

permanent resident. Visitors to the Sancluary fell in love with this cheeky

ginger gentleman as soon as they saw him, He was always mislaken for a

kitten due to his diminutive stature, but his personality filled the room. Jerry

loved human companionship, but every kitten season he shone like the little

star he was. Every kitten which had been rescued from distressing and

kaumatic circumstances would gravilate to Jerry. He was their "uncle' and

would comfort them, cuddle them and be a stable rock in their turbulent young

lives.

It is impossible to state how many kittens Uncle Jerry helped during his years

at the Sanctuary, but he possessed a natural talent for giving them the comfort.

they so desperately needed during their recovery. Jerry will be tremendously

missed.

This little bundle of fluff came to Jackie in dire need of medical attention.

However love and cuddles from Jackie as well as every volunteer, (that

Mie-Mie managed to wrap around her little paw,) seemed to pay off. Though

small for her size Mie - Mie has now grown into a healthy, beautiful little girl.

She has recently moved into a loving forever home and all the volunteers

are sad to see her go but are happy that she beat the odd. Jackie would like

to say a big thank you to all the cats supporters wilhout whose help success

stories like this wouldn't be possible.

Cat Abuse Treatment Society gained charitable status on the 18th January

1995. Since then it has been run entirely by volunteers whose only reward is to

see the cats happy and healthy. The cats are cared for using donations from

our generous supporters along with any money raised at fundraising events

organised by the trustees and volunteers.

The charity currenlly operates from a purpose built sanctuary at the rear of

Jackie's council house. All work is undertaken by volunteers who monitor the

cats and tend to their needs.

The sanctuary itself consists of a number of chalets where each cat can have

their own personal space. Central to these chalels are communal areas where

the cats can eat, play or just watch the world go by. ln addition there is a

separate area of the sanctuary, accessible to cats from Jackie's front garden.

This area provides food and shelter for the local stray and feral cats. lt has also

become an area where the local wildlife will come for food and water.

The sancluary is in dire need of refurbishment. lt is a wooden, mesh and

Perspex struclure, most ofwhich has been slanding for over 20 years, is in

need of repairing. The Perspex roof has holes in it where fireworks came

through in November of 2011, Please can you help by giving desperately

needed donations to replace this section of roof. These repairs will keep our

traumatised cats and kittens ,many of lhem are cruelty cases, safe and secure

within lhe sanctuary. lf you know of any roofer willing to donate his time or

materials towards this project contact Jackie on (0114) 2451781.

Due to the mobility problems of some of our cats such as those with Cerebral

Palsy, the sanctuary is in need of more (larger version) litter trays, Financial

restraints, caused by a reduction in donalions to the charity, have meant that

we are slruggling to purchase even the most basic equipment
