Fundraising
We are always looking for people interested in helping us with fundraising. If you can help us in any way, please get in touch.
Do you have items that we can sell in our car boot sales? Please let us know and we can come and pick these up, or you can drop them off at our center.
Do you have spare blankets, cat bowls, litter trays, etc. that you don't use? Please donate these to our branch, as we never have enough of any of these items.
Do you have time to organize an event for us, for instance a coffee morning? Please get in touch with us.
Fosterers Needed
Orkney Islands Cats Protection is looking for cat loving people who are willing to foster cats. This is quite involved and not suitable for everyone; but if you think you have enough space, time and dedication to offer, please consider fostering cats. Contact us to discuss this.
Donations
Although Orkney Islands Cats Protection is now an official branch of Cats Protection, we do not get funding for the daily running of our branch, which is where your kind donation will help us. As you can imagine the vet and food bills are substantial, and any amount that you can give towards helping us care for the cats is greatly appreciated.
We currently cannot accept credit/debit card donations, but hope to have a PayPal account attached to this website soon.
In the meantime, if you would like to make a donation, please download our single donation form, fill this in and send it together with a cheque/postal order, made payable to Orkney Islands Cats Protection, to:
Orkney Islands Cats Protection

Gift Aid
Use Gift Aid and you can make your donation worth more. For every pound you give to us, we get an extra 28 pence from the Inland Revenue. Please fill in the appropriate section on the donation form.
To qualify for Gift Aid, what you pay in income tax or capital gains tax must equal at least the amount we claim in the tax year.
The scheme applies to any gifts you have made since April 6th 2000. Please visit this page inside the main Cats Protection website for more information (new window).
Do you wish to donate on a regular basis?
As an alternative to the single donation, if you would like to make a regular donation to our branch, please visit our 'sponsor a cat cabin' page.
