• Donations are always welcome, cheques made payable to MCR. Add, or use the donate system on the home page. Any card can be used through Paypal. As a charity we do not pay commission and the user incurs no additional costs.

• Help to post and maintain our homing posters on your village/community centre notice board. This only helps in Powys and surrounding counties. We can E-Mail the latest posters to you to print locally and pin up. This will help us spread the word and raise the profile of a small local charity.

• Hold a coffee morning/evening. Add for your friends, family or club. We can provide you with assistance, straight manpower, posters and literature to show the works undertaken by Montgomeryshire Cat Rescue.

• Transport. We always need cats ferried.   Logistics are always a problem for a small charity. We do not have a bottomless pit of drivers available for collection and delivery. Cats need to be taken to the vet and collected. Our fosterers aren't always available to take in a cat. We need help to collect and distribute our charges. 
As many of our end users are elderly people we need to take cats and settle them in with their new owners. This could be an afternoon now and again but it does really help with smooth running.

• Sponsor a cat that is unlikely to be re-homed because of old age or for medical reasons. 
Not all the cats that come into our care are capable of being rehomed straight away. Some are never rehomed due to their age; everybody wants a cuddly kitten, or health. A few medicinal drops a day or special needs soon puts prospective new home off; everyone wants a healthy cat. We have an increasing number of charges that live with our fosterers for a long time. These are what we call our sponsorship cats. If you can't have one but would help to keep one through financial assistance, this is where you can help. 
We have one feline that had to move on from her home due to illness of her owner. Now in full time care by a team of home carers she still maintains her loving cat that lives in one of our foster homes. The good side is that the cat is still loved, the owner still sees her cat but she lives elsewhere.

• Help collect donated cat food.   We have a series of cat donation boxes in shops around Welshpool. You help to monitor these and collect the donations for our foster homes to use. Part of you lunchtime or normal shopping excursions. Every little helps, as the current television advertisements say. 

If you have a local shop where you feel there is potential to collect donations of food and litter, ask them if they can help. 
 

• Make a donation bin. We use plastic swing bins at our donation points. These suffer the ravages of time and abuse. A well-designed and constructed plywood bin built by an avid DIY'er would improve our image. If you are such a person and willing to put your little grey cells to work please get in contact.  

• Make a cat litter storage bin. One of our fosterers has a tin horse food storage bin.   It has a hinged top lid that reveals two compartments. One is used for keeping the cat food and the other for saw dust/cat litter to scoop out. It's light in weight, easy to moved and holds about 100 l of saw dust. Ideal for locating in shed or outbuilding where the cats are. It's one step up from using an old dustbin.
