DONATIONS FROM THE RAGDOLL REHOME GROUP

 

Due to the hard work of the Group and  all the people that support us we felt that we could help some other rescue  cat charities and so at Christmas we made donations to the selected groups – many of whom have also offered us practical help by undertaking home checks or offering foster care when we know they have been busy themselves.


So as a token of our appreciation we made the following donations:-

Dr Dianne Addie                                        £300 Glasgow University
Animals in Distress, Brixham, Devon           £150
Rosie Meeking  Siamese Rescue                 £75   Caring for a ragdoll
Battersea Cat & Dog Home                        £50
Mrs Margaret Walkden  -
North West Rescue                               £475  for her constant care and help with the Tagdolls in need
D Carrick                                                   £50
Ivy Perry                                                    £100

Our heartfelt thanks to all those who have donated both their time and money to our Group and helping so many cats.

 

 

 

Special thanks to Roz and Johanna Lamont who recently kindly donated their £70 Pet Plan points to us.

 

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO:

                                      Mrs Margaret Walkden  &  Mrs Heather Horton

We would like to thank Margaret and Heather once again for helping in a time of need in taking in and caring for mums and kittens.  They have both been a great help to this group.  The kittens have all grown into lovely baby raggies with the help of these two very special ladies who are always there just a phone call away. 

What makes these two ladies even more special is that these cats are not even their breed but are there to help no matter what.

Also we wish to say a special thank you  to certain members of our group, who do not wish to be named, for helping to move the cats all over the country - travelling many miles to help them arrive safely at their new homes and foster homes.  These people are always ready to help in what ever way they can and  our work is made so much more easier of them.  Because we ALL Care.

We would also like to thank

                                      Matt Griffiths  & Michael Scott

During this rescue we needed to find a foster home for Saffy, a troubled raggie who was in need of someone to understand him before we could place him in a new home, they kindly offered their help they have taken great care of him so many thanks.

We would also like to say how much we appreciated the very kind donations made by the following – these have helped greatly to meet the costs involved in the latest rehoming situation and we thank them all for their support.

SPECIAL NOTICE

 

We have recently received many requests from people regarding membership of The Ragdoll Rehome Group.  However we must point that that The Ragdoll Rehome Group is made up purely of volunteers and supporters who work together as a group for the welfare of both the cats and owners who may need our help. 

We are NOT in any way a club and have no intention of becoming one.

All donations made to The Ragdoll Rehome Group go purely to meet the needs of the cats coming into our care.

We would like to thank all our volunteers and supporters for the ongoing unstinting and unswerving support they have given us over the past 15 months.  We couldn’t have achieved what we have without them.

If anyone would like to help us in any way i.e. fostering, transporting cats, home checks etc please do not hesitate to contact one of our co-ordinators.

Should anyone wish to join a Ragdoll Breed Club – we give below the three main clubs.

                        The Traditional Ragdoll Cat Society
                        The Progressive Ragdoll Breed Cat Club
