Cat Watch Rescue Shelter in Amesbury received a grant from The Belforte Foundation to help with veterinary costs for the cats in its care. The charity, run entirely by volunteers, is already using the money to treat the cats, including a family of three Bengals with extensive medical needs.

The shelter, which houses over 60 cats at a time, provides care and rehoming for unowned cats in the local area. The financial burden of veterinary bills can be significant, especially for cats requiring expensive treatments. The charity urges cat lovers to donate, as even small contributions can make a difference in covering these costs.

Cat Watch Rescue Shelter covers a 30-mile radius from Amesbury and South Hampshire, working to locate lost cat owners and reunite them with their pets. The charity emphasizes the importance of microchipping cats to prevent them from getting lost, and encourages cat owners to contact their vet to schedule this procedure.
