Christmas Prize Draw in aid of Protected Paws

The Cause

Protected Paws Animal Rescue was founded in December 2022 by Kerry Flynn, Robert Ho, supported by Trustee Connie Harper, and Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) Megan Walden and Nicoletta Parvulescu. Operating on a volunteer basis, our charity has rescued over 2000 animals, primarily cats, many of whom require medical treatment before they can be rehomed.

We also run a Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR) program, actively rescuing feral cats and giving them a chance to live freely on farms, where they can work as farm animals in a safe, protected environment.

Every penny raised by the charity goes directly to the welfare of the animals—there are no payments to any volunteers or trustees. The average cost to care for a healthy animal in our care is in excess of £600, and for animals with minor medical conditions, such as dental issues or respiratory infections, costs can rise to over £1,200. For serious cases, the expenses can easily reach into the thousands.

Baby Harvey came into Protected Paws with severe anemia, but Kerry and the team were determines, and so was he! After two transfusions from Isabella the cat, he was on the mend and went home with her family. Today, he is a healthy, sassy kitten.

To continue our vital work, we are running various prize draws with fantastic prizes donated by our supporters including tickets to Cold Play at Wembley Staduim kindly donated by one of our Trustees.
