Cats Protection has had to take measures to protect the staff and curtailed the movement of cats for adoption or going into the kennels.
The head office has been fielding calls and endeavouring to provide a limited service.
“Hopefully, we will take the reins again soon. We still have cats being fostered. Could I reiterate what other veterinary bodies have been saying that the virus cannot be caught through cats.
“Our Education Team have been working hard to create downloadable home packs so we can keep on delivering our CP message in the current situation. The education page link is https://education.cats.org..uk/moggy-modules-for-learning-at-home
These have been made to be fun, interactive and educational for children at home, either on their own, or with their parents. The five packs are each based on one of the welfare needs and they have been made for two age groups: 5-7 years and 8-11 years, so lots to choose from and learn from.
“Sadly I have no fund-raising news to report as the Downton Cuckoo Fair, Dogs Trust Fun Day and Amesbury Carnival have been cancelled, with our city centre collection and charity stall events. Many thanks to those who are continuing to put unwanted cat food into our baskets in Tesco Southampton Road, Pets at Home and Mole Valley, and at Avon Lodge Vets at Amesbury.
“If anyone is able to do any fund raising safely for us it would be appreciated. We are offering a £10 voucher for neutering at present and anyone interested should contact the helpline initially or email us,” said Ali Theobald, Salisbury & District Cats Protection.
