There are also stories of older or ill cats neglected or cats dumped when no longer a cute kitten, when pet owners don't consider the full commitment of owning a pet.

Stokey Cats and Dogs are a local volunteer group who help pets and stray cats in the community and are also a useful source of advice and help. They help stray cats and get them neutered, microchipped and rehomed. They also rely on and welcome funds donated by the community through their fundraising here and you can have a look at Stokey cats needing homes
