Do What You Do Best To Help Cats In Need
Fundraising
The Sheffield Cats Shelter has been operating for 125 years and we have rehomed tens of thousands of cats in this time.
If you would like to go the extra mile to help cats in need and protect a piece of Sheffield history then we have plenty of fun ideas down below.
We couldn’t do the work we do without your support.
What We Do
300 cats a year rehomed
We rehome an average of 300 cats a year that had nowhere else to go
We protect cats with long-term conditions
We have cats in long-term foster care who rely on us to pay for their vet bills
Rooms, not cages
This ensures the Shelter is a place for cats to feel safe, socialise, and grow in confidence
We never put a healthy cat down
Unlike some other charities, we do everything we can to help, heal, and rehome every cat that comes to us
We are an independent charity
We rely on the donations of our supporters alone to protect cats in need
Our monthly vet bills can exceed £10,000/month
With so many sick and abandoned cats coming to us, our vet bills have skyrocketed

F.A.Q
Will you be able to attend my event?
Due to the workload our small team has every day we are often unable to attend outside events. However, we are happy to advertise most events on our social pages if you get in touch with us in advance.
When would be a good time to run my event
We recommend finding days in the calendar that people are already involved in or are likely to have off. For example, events around annual days like Easter, Halloween, and Christmas often attract more attention, and events on bank holidays are often a success because they give families something they can do together.
I am looking to run my event in a public space. Are there any legal issues I should know about?
Whilst most events will be fine there are a few things you should consider. If you are holding a collection on a street or public area please ensure that you have the correct permissions or license from your local authority, and that collections in private spaces have the permission of the property owner. This also applies to public performances (which may require a Public Entertainment License), and events in which alcohol are sold (which would require a temporary or permanent license).
