A pilot project which is bringing together animal charities and vets across Sheffield for a common purpose is marking International Cat Day today (Tuesday 8 August). Cat Smart Sheffield has been created to tackle a ‘crisis’ in unwanted cats and kittens in the city. Six charities – Cat’s Protection, PDSA, Rain Rescue, RSPCA Sheffield Branch and Sheffield Cat Shelter – and eight local veterinary practices* are taking part in the one-year pilot project, funded and led by the national RSPCA.
