How does cat sponsorship work?
Cat sponsorship through Charity Shop supports rescue cats at WARN partner shelters. £30 a month funds a clean, heated pod with bedding, food and daily care for one cat — with a personalised e-certificate, giftable in someone's name.
Who should skip this: Skip this if you wanted to rehome a cat in the UK, needed Gift Aid, or expected a posted toy pack. Sponsorship funds named monthly care; nobody takes the animal home. You can cancel through WARN.
Do I own or adopt this cat?
No. A monthly sponsorship here is costed care, not a pet and not a symbolic wild-animal adoption pack. Compare the models in sponsor vs adopt and symbolic vs costed.
Your sponsorship tier
You'll review the gift, optionally add a recipient's name, then complete the donation on World Animal Rescue Network's secure page with the monthly option already selected.

Cat sponsorship questions
What does a cat pod sponsorship cover?
A heated pod, clean bedding, food and daily care for one rescue cat — £30 a month. Vaccinations and neutering are separate costed gifts (£12 and £22) if you'd rather give one-off.
Can I sponsor a cat as a gift for someone?
Yes — the certificate and the updates go to the person you name. It is one of the most popular gifts for cat people.
