💳 Monthly Standing Order (The Easiest Way)
Regular donations allow us to plan ahead, say “yes” to emergencies, and commit to neutering programmes.
Bank Details:
[Insert details here]
Even the smallest monthly gift makes a difference:
- £1 per month (£12 a year) = Around 500g of leading-brand kitten milk formula.
- £5 per month = Covers a month of flea & worm treatment for one cat.
- £10 per month = Pays for a full vaccination course contribution or feeds a foster kitten for approximately 3–4 weeks.
- £20 per month
= Covers the average monthly care cost of a young adult rescue cat.
Small change. Huge impact.

🍼 Kittens

(Includes food, litter, flea/worm treatment, annual vaccines averaged monthly, and general health checks.)
👵 Senior Cats (7+ years)
Average monthly care cost: £90–£150
(Seniors often require blood tests, medication, dental care, and more frequent vet visits.)
✂️ Our Neutering Commitment
Regular donations allow us to plan ahead, say “yes” to emergencies, and commit to neutering programmes. As part of our mission to reduce unwanted litters in the UK, Penny Paws is committed to neutering every cat over 2kg or 5 months of age. Average UK costs:
- Female spay: £100–£180
- Male neuter: £70–£120
- Microchipping: £20–£40
So on average, neutering and microchipping one cat costs £120–£200+ This is one of our largest ongoing expenses — but it is absolutely essential to breaking the cycle.
🐾 The Reality of Mum & Kittens
New pregnant cats and mums with litters turn up almost daily.
The average cost of supporting:
🐱 A Mum + 4–5 Kittens (Birth to Adoption)
Monthly cost during nursing period: £250–£350
(includes kitten milk, high-calorie food for mum, litter, parasite treatment, early vet checks)
Kittens remain until:
- Fully weaned
- Vaccinated
- Microchipped
- Health checked
Mum then stays until:
- Fully weaned
- Vaccinated
- Microchipped
- Health checked
The additional cost of caring for mum post-weaning is approximately £70–£100 per month, plus her spay surgery.
One unexpected litter can easily cost £800–£1,200 from intake to rehoming
💛 Why It Matters
Every donation means:
✔ Another neuter appointment
✔ Another pregnant cat rescued
✔ Another litter safely fostered

Penny Paws survives because kind people step forward.
