Help us in your weekly shop

Whenever you are doing your shopping at the local supermarket, please could you buy 1 or 2 tins of kitten food or cat food, and then whenever you next come and see us at the Centro Canino, bring the tins with you.

Here’s why.. Our felines always have plenty to eat, but we can only afford to buy bulk quantities of dry cat food, which is nutritionally balanced and pretty inexpensive. It doesn’t taste amazingly great though.

The problem is when we have kittens or cats who are underweight, malnourished or recovering from an operation or illness.

None of the cats exactly ‘rush’ to eat the dry food, they just eat it when they’re hungry.

The cats and kittens almost always prefer the tins of food. They rush over and eat the food straight away. With tins, we can feed cats individually and watch to make sure that the recovering cats/kittens that need the extra nutrition actually get to eat the right amount of food.

In an ideal world, we’d have the funds to buy tins of food as/when we need to. The fact is though, we’re on a very very tight budget and dry food is all we can afford (you try buying food for 20+ cats at a time, it costs a mini-fortune).

So PLEASE whenever you’re doing your weekly shop in Eroski, Caprabo, Mercadona or wherever – Pick up 1 or 2 tins of cat food, then bring however many tins you acquire, into us whenever you visit.

We’ll be grateful and the cats and kittens will be licking their lips with anticipation!

Thanks. Appreciate it.
