Hi, my name is Toria and I am fundraising on behalf of Heaven Sculpture Yard.

We are a collective of artists who have workshops in the Suffolk countryside. Over the years, feral cats have found their way here and the wonderful people have helped to give them access to shelter and food. These cats don’t belong to anyone here, and this isn’t something we have wanted to happen, but we have supplied a safe space for them to exist alongside us. Because of their feral nature, they mostly cant be approached and won’t ever be able to live in a home situation. We have had recent help to catch, spay and release a female cat and re-home her kittens, but the rescues are just so stressed for money they can’t afford to help us with the, at least 6, other cats and kittens of breeding age that have found a safe space here. We are also concerned that another female cat is currently pregnant and want to ensure she gets the correct care and any kittens can be homed and supported.

Cat colonies can grow up to 80 cats per year from just one breeding pair and we just don’t have the facilities, or desire, to support such a colony and want to be responsible in supporting these cats that have found a place here. We are looking to raise some money to be able to catch, spay/neuter and release these cats back to our care. As they are feral, they likely won’t be able to be homed so we are happy to continue looking out for them here, but don’t want them to keep multiplying as it isn’t good for them or us.

All proceeds will go towards working with a local rescue to do this, and any additional money we may raise will go to that local cat rescue to help them keep doing the amazing work they do. We would appreciate any support that can be given to help us with these cats. Thank you.
