Other ways to donate

You can donate online by clicking here but if you prefer to donate in another way, or if you would like to donate items rather than money, please select the appropriate method below.  

As a registered charity, we can claim gift aid on any donations made to us by a UK taxpayer who has agreed to allow us to do this. Gift Aid costs the donor nothing as long as they have paid sufficient tax in the UK in the year in which the donation is made. So, for example, if you donate £25, we can claim 20% of this from the Inland Revenue, so your donation will be worth an extra £5. This money is very important to us, so please do make a declaration if you can.  For us to claim Gift Aid, we need your name, your address including postcode and a written confirmation that you are a UK taxpayer and have paid or will pay sufficient tax in the year in which you make the donation(s).  You can either make the declaration with your payment, or download a separate form for a single donation or for multiple donations.

Thank you.

Direct donations

Please donate as much as you can afford. Every penny helps. From the loose change in your purse to a donation of thousands of pounds all donations are valuable to us. Thank you for your support.

Donations to the bank

If you prefer to donate direct to our bank, you can do this using online banking, by going into the bank or by standing order. Thank you.

Expand

Our bank details are:
Yorkshire Bank, Keighley
Sort code – 05-05-35
Account number – 17488411
Account name: Yorkshire Cat Rescue 1160138

Please note - if donating directly to the bank, it is crucial that you include the full account name, including the number at the end (which is our registered charity number).  You may also receive an alert from your bank to check that you are making the payment to someone you know.  If you're happy to proceed at this stage, please do.

If you make an anonymous donation in this way it is unlikely that we will be able to acknowledge it, or send you copies of our newsletter, as the bank do not provide us with your address details.  If we are able to identify you from the donation we will be able to acknowledge receipt. We are also unable to claim Gift Aid unless you identify yourself and your donation to us. 

You can also download a standing order form to make a regular donation - monthly, weekly, quarterly, annually or as often as you wish. Regular donations really help us plan and the money from the regular donations goes towards our vet bills each month.  You can download a standing order form here - please send it to the address on the form once you have completed it.

Items for the cats

If you prefer to donate items rather than money, please take a look here and see if there is anything you'd like to donate.

Expand

The address for delivery is: Yorkshire Cat Rescue, Lower Pierce Close, Cross Roads, Keighley BD22 9AQ.

If you sign up to Give As You Live first, you might also raise a bit of extra cash for our cats when you make your purchase.

You could buy something from our Amazon Wishlist (and you could sign up to Amazon Smile to create an extra donation).

Or from a pet store such as Pets At Home or Zooplus. The things we need most are wet food, litter and toys, but if you see something else you feel our cats would enjoy, please do send it to us for them.

If you'd like to help us tame up those nervous kittens who were born outside, perhaps you'd buy us a cage.  They are ideal for making kittens feel safe and teaching them how to trust people.

Or perhaps you would like to make a no-cost donation.  We can always use clean old towels, balls of wool, knitted or crocheted blankets (approx 18 x 18 inches).

Save cats with a gift in your will

A gift in your will can save many precious cats and kittens each year, rescuing them from harm and dangerous situations, and giving them warmth, care and love until they are adopted into forever homes where they will receive the love and comfort they deserve. Please remember Yorkshire Cat Rescue with a legacy when you write your will.

Expand

Leaving a gift in your will to Yorkshire Cat Rescue is a wonderful way for cat lovers like you to save the lives of cats and kittens for years to come.

Legacy to Yorkshire Cat Rescue charityCats like Valentine.  His owner was evicted and had to live in his car.  Valentine’s mum was pregnant and gave birth to Valentine and his brothers in the car.  Yorkshire Cat Rescue was able to take Valentine and his family and place them in a safe and loving foster home until they were big enough to be rehomed.  Valentine is now a much-adored member of his family.  Without legacy gifts from cat lovers like yourself, we would not be able to help so many helpless kittens like Valentine and give them the chance of a happy and loving home.

Once you have provided for your loved ones, please remember Yorkshire Cat Rescue when you’re writing your will.

You can leave a donation to be used in our general funds, or you can specify how you would like your legacy to be used – for example to pay for neutering or other vet bills.

And please remember to take care of your own cats in your will.  You can leave instructions in your will that your cats are to be rehomed by Yorkshire Cat Rescue.

Each and every gift can help to make a lasting difference to the work of Yorkshire Cat Rescue – giving many more cats a second chance to find love and putting smiles on faces as they “make a house a home”.

Thank you

Suggested wording for your will (we strongly recommend that you seek legal advice when writing your will):

I give **% of the residue of my real and personal estate which I can dispose of by Will in any manner I think proper to Yorkshire Cat Rescue (Registered Charity No: 1160138) of Lower Pierce Close, Cross Roads, Keighley BD22 9AQ and the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or the proper officer for the time being of Yorkshire Cat Rescue shall be a complete discharge to my Executors.

or

I give the sum of £** pounds to Yorkshire Cat Rescue (Registered Charity No: 1160138) of Lower Pierce Close, Cross Roads, Keighley BD22 9AQ and the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or other proper officer for the time being of Yorkshire Cat Rescue shall be a complete discharge to my Executors.

No Cost Donations

Please consider using these links if you are buying online or if you have a car you no longer need. It won't cost you a penny, but you will raise money to help us save the lives of our cats.

Expand

You can raise funds for us without it costing you a single penny.  Here's how...

Amazon Smile - if you're an Amazon UK customer, you can change your browser to www.amazon.smile.co.uk and every time you shop using this link Amazon will donate to YCR (or the charity of your choice!).

Give As You Live - when buying online - anything from your weekly supermarket shop to a holiday to a new pair of shoes - check to see if the seller is part of the Give As You Live, or GAYL, scheme.  If so, and if you go through the website of GAYL a percentage of the price you pay is donated to the charity of your choice - hopefully Yorkshire Cat Rescue.  Last year, we raised enough money through GAYL to neuter nearly 50 cats!

The Giving Machine - Like GAYL, The Giving Machine donates a percentage when you shop online.  Click on the link below to sign up!

Giveacar - got an old motor blocking up your driveway?  Why not donate it to raise funds for the cats.  It's simple ... click on this link, complete the form selecting Yorkshire Cat Rescue as your charity, and the car will be collected.  It won't cost you a penny and the proceeds will be donated to YCR.

Thank you for your no cost donations - both you and the Yorkshire Cat Rescue kittens benefit!
