Help Us

There are a lot of ways you can help us continue our work. This page details monetary ways, some of which cost you nothing at all! Please also take a look at our volunteering page if you are interested in giving your time as there are lots of ways you can help us without actually donating.

We would like to thank all of you who have helped in any way. Due to the large number of people contributing we do not have the resources available to thank everyone individually but we really appreciate your help.

After last year’s success we will again be selling knitted dog coats this winter.

Standard styles are £5, bespoke designs are £5 plus the cost of wool – please call

Shirley Murrell on 01284 763877 with details of colour/style and measurements

(neck to base of tail and width around tummy).

We now have some Bury Stray Cat Fund shopping bags for sale. They are very good quality

bags and can be purchased from the Sanctuary for £5.

We are always grateful to receive margarine tubs, plastic/polystyrene trays, blankets, carpet off-cuts, sheets, towels and your old woollies. We can put them all to good use.

We are always happy to receive bric-a-brac for our fundraising events.

We have a collection point at:

Sainsbury’s, Bedingfield Way, Bury St. Edmunds, IP32 7BT

We have monthly posters showing some of our available cats, special appeal posters

and postcards that are displayed locally in shops and vets. If you are able to help

with displaying any of these within our catchment area please see the rehoming

page to download them.

We have recently seen a dramatic drop in the number of people in our membership scheme. As we rely on people’s support and donations this is of great concern to us.

Our foster cats can be sponsored to help with the cost of housing, feeding and caring for the cat. You will receive a photograph, a letter and a Christmas card from the cat.
