How you can help us

DONATIONS

You can leave cat food, treats and cat litter at our two collection points. There is one in Scalloway, inside Scalloway Meat supermarket.

and one in the entrance of the Co-op in Brae.

GIVE MONEY

The best way to do this is by bank transfer or cheque. For security reasons we aren’t putting our account number & sort code here, but if you email (shetlandcatrescue@hotmail.com) or contact us via FB Messenger or Instagram we will send them to you.

Alternatively you can use:

Where we get 100% of what you donate, but there may be an additional charge to you for using their service. Click on this link to be redirected to their website.

We would like to say a big thankyou to everyone who has donated so far.

BUY WHAT WE NEED

We also have a wish list with Amazon.co.uk, where you can see what we need right now and can buy it in exactly the same way as you would anything else. These are then sent straight to us at our delivery address in North Roe.

Simply click on the link in red to be redirected to the Shetland Cat Rescue wish list page.

DONATE THINGS TO SELL ON OUR STALL

We currently have a regular tabletop stall at Bolts/ The Toll Clock in Lerwick, where we sell good quality donated items at the best prices in Shetland, on the first Saturday of every month (mark that date on your calendar) from 9:00-15:30. 

You can find us on the downstairs corridor, opposite the Skipidock cafe.

If you would like to donate items (anything non-electrical) you can bring them on the day or we can arrange to collect them (email us: monkeyandsofia@yahoo.co.uk). Examples of what have sold well recently are: books, clothes, crafts, toys, pet products and cat themed items. But anything suitable for a quick sale would be appreciated.

Our volunteers also make things to sell so are always in need of knitting wool etc.

If you own an empty shop on Commercial Street we would be very interested in using that too. It would have to be on a rent-free basis, but our charitable status could allow you to claim back a refund on the rates you pay SIC.

SELL THINGS ON EBAY & AMAZON FOR US

We sometimes get donated items which would realise a better price if sold online. If you are a seller and could do this for us it would be a great way to support us.

MAKE CRAFT ITEMS TO SELL ON OUR STALL

LET US USE YOUR EMPTY SHOP TO HAVE OUR STALL

Most of our income at the moment comes from the monthly stall at the Toll Clock Shopping Centre. However, we are limited to just one table to display items. In order to show everything we have we need another venue. If you have an empty shop, on know someone with one, particularly in the centre of Lerwick, that we could use rent-free (either for a couple of days or one day a month), this would make a huge difference to we can do for cats in Shetland.

VOLUNTEER

We need people to run our monthly stall at the Toll Clock Shopping Centre, which raises the money we need for the cats in our care. This involves setting up the stall, being there while it is open, and packing up at the end of the day. We sell books, DVDs, crafts, bric-a-brac and anything else that is donated (except electrical items.)

We also need people who can foster cats in their own home.

As well as help with fundraising, transporting cats and marketing.

If you are interested in any of the above, please fill in the form below and we’ll be in touch.
