LEAVE A GIFT CATS Protection’s Newbury Adoption centre is asking cat lovers to remember them in their will and if you leave a gift to charity you may be able to benefit from a tax break. Cats Protection relies heavily on gifts left in wills and, thanks to changes in inheritance tax rules, kind-hearted givers who leave at least 10 per cent of their estate to charities now pay less in inheritance tax – 36 per cent instead of 40 per cent. Manager Karen Clarke said: “Cats Protection would be half the size it is today if it wasn’t for people leaving us gifts in their wills – they are a vital part of our funding and increase our ability to find homes for unwanted cats, neuter cats to prevent unwanted kittens, and provide cat care information to the public. “Any gift, no matter how large or small, would make an incredi- ble difference to the lives of the cats and kittens we care for and you can specify that your money goes to a certain branch.” Cats Protection helps around 190,000 cats and kittens each year through its national network of over 250 volunteer-run branches and 34 centres.
