Cats
Protection will be celebrating the launch of its new Homing and Information
Centre in Cardiff, when Suzy Davies AM officially opens the centre at 12.30pm
on Friday 16 February.
The new
centre, located in the Pets at Home store in Newport Road, will have three
custom-built cat pens, housing up to six cats. It will be run by Cats
Protection staff and will focus on finding homes for cats that are ready to go
to a new home.
Cats
Protection’s Regional Centre Operations Manager Sadie Dalton said: “This is the
second Cats Protection Homing and Information Centre based in a Pets at Home
store – the first opened in Newbury, Berkshire in 2014 - and is one of the ways
that we home cats in areas of high footfall. We are looking forward to helping
many local people find their perfect feline in the future.”
Suzy
Davies AM, commented: “I
was so pleased to hear that Cats Protection was opening a new Homing and Information
Centre in Cardiff. I found my own gorgeous cat at the Bridgend Adoption Centre
where the staff are so caring and committed. Animal welfare is a central
concern for Cats Protection and their advice and experience are invaluable to
anyone ready to offer a home to a cat, ensuring a good match between every cat
and their new human.”
The new
centre will be managed by the Cats Protection Adoption Centre in Bridgend and staff will be on hand from 10am –
4pm, apart from Wednesday 10am – 6pm, and Sunday 10.30am – 4pm, to talk
about the adoption process and to give out free cat care guides.
Sue Dobbs,
Bridgend Adoption Centre Manager, added: “We are very excited about the opening
of the new centre and our team at Bridgend is really looking forward to
rehoming even more cats in the Cardiff area. There are many benefits to
adopting from us, including the peace of mind of knowing your new cat has been
examined by a veterinary surgeon. In addition, they have been microchipped,
vaccinated, neutered if old enough and will have four weeks’ free insurance.”
