The Cause
Protected Paws Animal Rescue, 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.
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.
Christine was a victim of abuse; a kick had damaged a number of her organs and ruptured her abdominal wall. But Kerry and Megan did not give up on her: with a skilled surgeon and loads of attention, she is blossoming in foster care. Donations enable us to help animals like Christine, who deserve a chance to live their best lives.

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