How much do I have to raise?

For this walk we ask you to raise £200 to help the cats and kittens in our care.

How much experience do I need?

We'll be with you every step of the way from sign up to the summit! In the lead up to the climb, we'll provide full support and ideas to help you exceed your fundraising commitment.

During the trek, you'll be led by a mountaineering expert who will guide your group safely up and down the mountain. It is physically demanding, so you will need to have a reasonable level of fitness and be suitably equipped.

Why should I climb Ben Nevis with Cats Protection?

You'll enjoy a great day out and achieve a personal challenge at the same time! What's more, by raising £200 you could provide a full health check for a cat including blood tests, neutering, microchipping and vaccinations.
