Cats bring happiness to millions of us every day. They are part of the family. Yet too many of them don't get the care and kindness they deserve. But thanks to the support of People's Postcode Lottery players, we’re here to help.
Since 2018, players have raised £12,439,702 to help us be there for cats and kittens in need. In this time, we’ve helped around one million cats.
That’s one million lives changed for the better and this incredible milestone could not have been achieved without players’ support.
At the forefront of research on cat welfare, we use our decades of experience to support cat owners to keep their pets happy, healthy and safe. Helping people understand their cats better means we can often avoid the need for owners to give up their pets. But when rehoming is the right thing to do, our teams of passionate volunteers and employees look after cats with care and kindness and help find them loving new homes.
We speak up for cats. Our campaigns change laws to give cats more protection and we continue to call for a better deal for cats. We also run the world's largest single-species neutering programme, for both pets and feral cats, to support a healthy and balanced cat population.
Funds raised by Postcode Lottery players also help us support cat owners through hard times. This includes helping those facing financial difficulty, enabling them to keep their pets where possible, and offering a temporary foster service for cats whose owners are fleeing domestic abuse, until they can be safely reunited. We also provide support to those facing the loss of their cat, and peace of mind that if an owner should pass away, their cat will be looked after and rehomed.
Whatever it takes, we’re here for cats and the people who care for them.
All of our work is kindly supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery. Together we are making a better life for cats, because life is better with cats.
Funding is awarded through Postcode Animal Trust. The trust champions the conservation and welfare of animals, highlighting the profound joy that animals bring to people's lives.
To date, players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £1.3 billion for thousands of charities and local good causes.
