  1.  

    This event is absolutely horrific - PETA have just sent an email about it and PETA is urging us all to sign a petition asking the Spanish to stop it.

    Help End the Sadistic 'Fire Bull' Festival in Soria

    Warning, there is a horrible picture as you click through of a bull and fire, but please, please scroll down fast and get the petition signed.  The sooner the Spanish cancel this horrible event the better.  It has no place in the modern world.  

    This is still going on in 2024, so PETA need our support.

    or how about adopting a badger?

    You can choose - there's an adopt a hedgehog, adopt a beaver and adopt a badger.  The hard part is surely choosing which animal to adopt. 

    Digital adoption packs will include a certificate, a photo of your animal, a guide packed with top tips on your animal and a subscription to the seasonal online wildlife magazine.  Why not sponsor an animal for the nature lover in your life?

    Ways to help cats

    You could buy something from their online shop,  donate or volunteer – there are plenty of different sorts of volunteer roles such as helping out in a Cats Protection charity shop, helping in a branch (there are 200 branches in the country so they are very widespread), or volunteering in one of their 34 centres.

    Volunteering is a great way to meet like-minded people, to do something meaningful with your time and to do something to help cats!  You could also look at fostering a cat while the cat is looking for their forever home.  And you could of course look at adopting a cat, too, and giving a cat a much needed home.

    There's lots we can all do to help cats.  For example...

    Get crafting for cats!

    One thing you can do if you love cats and crafts is to join in the Craftalong on 26 November 2022.   Cats Protection have teamed up with The Makerss to bring you a new needle felting project: cat angel tree toppers!
