Cats Protection

Cats Protection is refreshing its brand, supporting the charity’s strategy to make life better for millions more cats. For almost 100 years, we have been here to help cats and support the people who care for them. Now, we want to do much more, reaching many more cats directly and importantly, changing people’s understanding of and attitudes towards cats. That means we need many more people to know about us, support us and use our services. By making our brand more appealing and building our reputation as experts in all things cat, we will be able to reach and support many more people with our information and advice. By helping people to think and act differently towards cats, we can promote positive relationships between cats and people, prevent cruelty and mistreatment and reduce the need for rehoming. And by sharing our research and thought-leadership, we can positively influence policy to make the UK a better place for cats and the people who care for them. We are launching the new brand with our biggest ever fundraising campaign, which focuses on one of our most important areas of work: Cats Protection Lifeline, our cat fostering service which provides a temporary, loving home for cats whose families are fleeing domestic abuse. It’s common for perpetrators to target cats and kittens too. So for many people, leaving them behind isn’t an option. But most refuges can’t accept pets. We look after cats until their owners are able to take them back safely. That gives them a chance to get away from abuse and get back on their feet, knowing that they’ll be together again soon. Our campaign tells the story of a little girl and her cat. Ava and Mr Biggles are everything to each other, but when Ava and her mum have to leave their home to escape domestic abuse, they can’t take Mr Biggles with them. The campaign film, which will be shown on Channel 4, was created by the agency Luke Charles, produced by FLIPT, and directed by Duncan Christie. For support and information on domestic abuse contact Refuge’s National Domestic Abuse Helpline 0808 2000 247.
