A donation to LCR made in the name of that special cat-loving person in your life makes a lovely gift. For a minimum donation of £10 we can give you a Certificate of Donation to give to your loved one. Certificates can be purchased in person from our Shelter.

Alternatively, please email us at fundraising@lothiancatrescue.org  if you’d like to make your donation via our online donation facility, sending us the following information:

• Name of person donation is being made on behalf of

We endeavour to process donations as quickly as possible, but suggest you allow two weeks for your certificate to arrive at its destination.

Would you consider leaving us a gift in your will?

A legacy gift, no matter how large or small, could mean that when a cat needs us in the future we will be here to help them, or even save their life.

With your help, by giving a gift in your will, we can maintain and update our facilities, provide veterinary treatment and provide food and shelter for cats that come into our care. We can then ensure we find loving homes for them, or provide a home at the shelter or in a sponsor home for those with health or behavioural issues.

We realise that leaving us a gift in your will is a very personal decision. With your help and support we can continue our vital work.

Some employers, companies or personal pension providers run a Payroll Giving scheme allowing you to donate straight from your wages or pension. Donations are taken before tax, which means that a charity gets more of your donation and it costs you less. It also means that we don’t have to claim Gift Aid, so there’s less administration for us. Ask your employer or pension provider if they offer payroll giving.

Our Shelter is delighted to receive donations which help us care for our cats. These include food, litter, litter trays, food and water bowls, bedding and cleaning materials.

If you can't visit but would like to sent a physical donation, do take a look at our wishlists.

We’re also very happy to receive donations of goods to help keep our shop well stocked. Bric-a-brac, especially, is always needed, as well as clothes, jewellery, books and household items.
