Get crafty and help raise money for stray or unwanted cats and kittens!
Cats Protection is the UK's largest cat charity. They rescue an estimated 157,000 stray and unwanted cats and kittens annually, offering them another chance at life and rehoming them to loving families.
The charity was founded in 1927 by animal welfare campaigner, Jessey Wade. Since then they have done incredible work and rehomed over 2 million cats!
Exactly what it sounds like! You'll have heaps of fun, learn a new, crafty skill, and have a beautiful, finished craft project to show off to your family and friends, all while raising vital funds for the UK's leading cat charity.
