Hey all,
I was visiting a lovely fosterer for my local CP (and her 10 gorgeous kitties!) and she gave me a leaflet for another charity she does work for called the Twinkle Trust. Basically, they make a trip to fuerteventura a few times a year to capture and spay/neuter/treat ferals over there to help with the massive problem they have (hotels and resorts often 'kill off' feral colonies in horrid ways)
They nick the cats ear to avoid re capturing them another time and in one week managed to spay/neuter over 400 kitties! (aside from the ones they treated for conditions etc) all kitties also get treatment for fleas and worms.
Anyway, the website for more info is www.twinkletrustanimalaid.org
you can make a donation, or give up a week of your time to go and help them (capture, help clean up pens, help with treatment) you only pay for the flight and they house you in a resort.
I thought some of you might be interested in this, as I definitely am, it would be wonderful to help make such a difference and stop so many ill and unwanted kitties. :Luv:

What amazing people! :)

This is the kind of holiday i would go on! :Luv:

Thanks for that :) Me and Lainey have been planning on going away this year on one of these holidays, this is one of the reasons I am desperately trying to get my numbers down :Crazy: The link I had though was for another charity and wasn't as informative, so I'll have a look at this one and hopefully we can sort something.

I would love to do one of those holidays.

We should get together a group of purrs members interested - could all travel together ;D

But who would look after our cats?

Whoever cares for them when you are fortunate enough to go on holiday or need to be away for any reason, I would think.

One reason I don't go on holiday, Ela, cos the moggies need caring for!

When you pack your bucket and spade and a bikini (in my dreams)

I havent been on an out-of-the-uk holiday for two years now, but I love weekends away at the beach, or in York :) I miss the cats, but everyone needs a getaway sometimes. I know they'll be looked after too :)
Going to New York in Dec... wooooooooooooooooo ;D ;D
