The Scratching Post

About Us

The Scratching Post is operated by the Stratford Companion Animal Assistance Trust, a small Trust independent of any other organisation.
The Stratford Companion Animal Assistance Trust was registered with the Charities Commission in May 2012 (CC47730). We needed an operation base and means to fundraise, so The Scratching Post opened in Stratford in August 2012 and became our presence in the Community.
Our two main objectives are caring for young kittens in need and advocating the need and importance of pet desexing.
We concentrate on helping young kittens as they are the most vulnerable due to their age and inexperience. By concentrating on the younger generation we also ensure that they do not contribute to uncontrolled breeding resulting in more homeless cats in our District.
Our operation is 100% worked by volunteers. We do not receive any government funding and rely solely on the generosity and energy of supporters in order to carry out the work we do.
