I have 6 ex Stray cats, some have Disability, all have issues'. I'm asking if there is any help with the cost of Cat Sitter when I'm in Hospital please? I've already had a small Macmillan grant at my Diagnosis 4 years ago. Is there any other help available? I'm in Derbyshire. Thank you.
Hello Lonewolf81
I was so lucky to have family close by to care for my cats when needed and I do understand your worries.
I have been having a look for you and found this on here and it has some links to some charities that may be able to help. I do not know exactly what they would offer but it maybe worth looking into it further.

Hope this may help

I am a pet lover- especially cats and I would want to help out locally if anyone was in your position. I am sure there will be someone or a charity that can help- it's just a case of finding them. Have you a local vets that may know of someone- maybe there is an apprentice or someone who could help? Any local animal charities? I did a search on animal charities in Derbyshire but without knowing where you are it is more difficult. Any neighbours with responsible teenagers/ college students who might want to go into vet nursing or animal care? If you are on facebook- is there a local page you could post on asking for support? Just ideas but it is what I would do to start with- animal lovers tend to want to help
Hope you get sorted soon
