FREE MICRO CHIPPING!!!!
For a limited period of time Atherton and Wigan Cats Protection are offering a FREE micro chipping scheme.
Micro chipping is definitely the way forward for you and your felines! It will help us as a charity and other rescue organisations to reunite you with your beloved cat should they ever go missing. Stray cats are a huge problem and many of them may have loving homes. Through micro chipping we may be able to help some of these cats find their rightful owners.
For more information on this scheme please contact us on any of these numbers - 01942 670196, 01942 711101, 07908062634, 07773341463 or email us at

If you have a cat that is micro chipped and you have recently moved address please remember to contact the chipping company and get your details changed. You will find ways to do this on your micro chipping documentation. If your cat is not registered to the correct address it may not get returned to you.
Stray cats during the winter
We have had a great number of calls regarding stray cats and we regret that we do not have the capacity at this moment to take them into our pens. However there are a few things that you can do to help these poor cats survive the
cold weather:
-
Provide a shelter - If possible allow the cat access to a garage or shed or even dog kennel to shelter from the weather. Or alternatively create a shelter/bed outdoors from straw. Even a piece of wood resting against a wall can provide a dry spot for a cat to rest from the cold and frost
-
Provide food and water - During freezing conditions cats can have a hard time finding water to drink. Kitten food is also good for feeding strays during 
the winter as it has a high fat content and plenty of vitamins.
If you have found a stray cat, please let us know so we can check whether it is chipped or requires neutering and we will help the cat as soon as we can. Telephone 01942 711101 or email helencatsprotection@yahoo.co.uk Your help will ensure more cats survive this cold winter. Thanks
