Your Cat

Tony’s Fund

-

Of course, funds are required for neutering, but understand­ing how to make the very best use of funds by ensuring that this very demanding process is successful is a real challenge. Doing it well and having insight on how to even start to tackle it requires sharing of informatio­n and of experience­s to avoid the many pitfalls which lie in wait for the enthusiast­ic but less knowledgea­ble person or organisati­on. This is where Internatio­nal Cat Care has been focusing its work with unowned cats so that each such activity can make a real difference.

Recently, Internatio­nal Cat Care was very lucky to receive a legacy from a vet called Tony Welsh. He had many hobbies and passions in life, including his beloved cats Layla, Millie, and Snowflake. He also fed and cared

for street cats around his home when he lived in Houston, Texas. iCatCare has set up the Tony Welsh Educationa­l Fund which will be used to develop effective and sustainabl­e solutions to help people working with unowned cats internatio­nally.We hope that the Fund will provide a focus for others with an interest in supporting the care and welfare of unowned cats to join with Tony and donate to continue the developmen­t of the many initiative­s that iCatCare would like to bring to fruition.

One of Tony’s favourite quotes was from Mark Twain: “When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introducti­on.” iCatCare hopes to do him proud by improving the welfare of many unowned cats worldwide as a direct result of his generosity.
