At Cats Protection we firmly believe that life is better with cats, and it turns out most people agree with us!

Companionship, reducing loneliness and reducing stress are collectively the top reasons people choose to own a cat (55%) and 92% of cat owners agreed that owning a cat has a positive impact on their lives. 

Your cat might be the first one to greet you after a difficult day, the companion who sat beside you through loneliness, the comforting presence during life changes, and been by your side as you celebrate your successes. 

Cats don't just share our homes.  

They share our routines, struggles, celebrations, and quieter moments. They become part of the fabric of our lives, even if we don’t always notice them in the background. That’s why 81% of owners say their cat is part of the family. 

This winter your fundraising can help Cats Protection make sure more cats get the chance to be there for someone else's big and small moments by providing crucial food, treatment, and care. 

Sign up today and help more cats become our companions.

How to get involved

This campaign is all about what your cat (or pet) means to you. As a streamer or creator with an audience and community, you can turn that into a direct impact for the cats in our care. 

Here are some ideas of how you could raise funds and make life better for cats: 

  • Just catting. Talk to chat about how you got your cat (or pet), about an animal that meant a lot to you growing up, or an experience where an animal provided comfort or companionship.  
  • Photo and memory sharing. Get chat to submit pet photos and stories that you can share on stream or socials.  
  • Cosy winter streams. Your community is a found family, just like your cat, and we want you to share this with them. Why not make your stream community-focused multiplayer or party games?

 

How we’ll support you

Our team is here to support you through planning, fundraising, and with materials for the day. We have a host of resources in stream-ready formats, so even if you don’t have a cat we’ve got you covered with all the content you need. 

Over on Twitch we’ll have a live pen camera you can use as a cat cam for your stream, and we’ve got lots of information over on YouTube covering all topics from health and behaviour to life in a cat centre.
