The centre, in Chelwood Gate, rehomes numerous undesirable and abandoned cats every year throughout Sussex.
Ms Davies fulfilled staff and volunteers at the centre prior to a behind-the-scenes trip where she fulfilled a few of the cats presently searching for brand-new houses.
She likewise went over the charity’s marketing work, that includes contacting the Government to present cat breeding guidelines and prohibiting blanket ‘no pets’ policies in personal leased housing.
Cats Protection’s Head of Advocacy, Campaigns & Government Relations Madison Rogers said: “We were so pleased to welcome Ms Davies to the centre to discuss the work we do to help cats, such as encouraging more landlords to allow tenants to have a pet cat.
“We also discussed our campaign for the compulsory microchipping of pet cats, which will soon become law and will help protect countless cats into the future. It’s great to see politicians taking a keen interest in cat welfare, which is an important issue for many people.”
Mims Davies MP said: “I was delighted to visit the Cats Protection’s National Cat Adoption Centre in Chelwood Gate, meeting with the staff, volunteers and seeing the kittens and the cats currently awaiting rehoming. It was fantastic to see how well all the cats are cared for by staff and volunteers who go the extra mile to ensure the welfare of their feline residents.
It was important to discuss the wider pet ownership issues facing Cats Protection and I was particularly pleased to hear of the Paws Protect service which provides temporary cat fostering to people fleeing domestic abuse. It was also great to hear about the help the charity can give those affected by the cost of living crisis.
“Cats Protection relies on donations and volunteers, so if you have some free time and love cats, please do get in touch with them – they would love to hear from you.”
