Exciting times at Peggy Henderson's sanctuary


At Peggy Henderson's sanctuary in Sale, we care for dogs, cats and rabbits.  The dog and rabbit facilities were updated a couple of years ago, and they have wonderful new warm, clean and comfortable places in which to live until they go to their new homes. 

And now it's time for the cats.  We currently have 13 rehoming pens, and 7 quarantine pens, all housed in 3 different buildings, all of which really do need a lot of TLC to make as comfortable as the dogs and rabbits now have. 

Recently the sanctuary released fantastic plans to develop existing buildings, to make much better facilities, and a fund to raise the money needed was started at the same time.  We have a target of £80,000 to reach and have already started to work hard on this.  This is in addition to all the fundraising that's needed every day/every month, just to keep everything ticking over, ie food, vet fees, and much more. 

If you'd like to know more, do please have a look at the new website that's been especially created for this exciting venture:  SAA - Our Cats' Future

And if you'd like to share this, we'd be very happy!!!  If you have any ideas for fundraising events, or you'd like to run your own, we'd love that, so do please let us know. 

There's a Donate button on the website itself, if ever you find yourself with a pound or two spare (it really does all help!), and the main website gives lots of information about generally fundraising for the charity.  We make it easy, there are lots of ways to give.  SAA - Ways to Fundraise and Donate

And if you don't have spare money (completely understandable, many of us don't!), but have some time, there are still lots of ways you can help as a volunteer.  It all helps and it all counts.  The link here gives some ideas as to ways you could help us, but if you have a particular skill or interest that's not on the list, and you think we could benefit from, please ask.  SAA - Volunteering

It's a wonderful sanctuary, with some amazing people, doing a fantastic job for the dogs, cats and rabbits of Manchester, and we'd love to have your help.  Thank you all so much!!
