Information collected may include your name, communication preference, email, postal address, telephone number, mobile number. Bank account details may be collected so we can process donations or tax payer status so we can claim Gift Aid.

If you re-home or bring in a cat we will keep details relating to the circumstances for 20 years, (upper age limit for a cat).

We do not rent, swap or sell your personal information to other organisations for them to use in their own marketing activities. We will only pass on your name and contact details to our known insurance company to trigger five weeks of free insurance for your cat(s) with your consent.
