York Cats Protection has helped rehome many cats thanks to backing from the People’s Postcode Lottery.
One such cat was Jonny, who came into York Cats Protection’s adoption centre when his previous owner couldn’t afford to look after him.
He was suffering from one of the worst flea allergies the centre had seen, with open sores over much of his body and every part of him crawling in fleas.

He was still the friendliest little chap, even though he must have been in considerable pain and discomfort.
Once he had received the necessary treatment and been cleared for homing, he was soon adopted.
His new family are thrilled with him and say he has settled in perfectly.
Mike Elliott, Cats Protection’s director of field operations, said: “It’s always so rewarding to see a cat go to a new home and we’re incredibly grateful to players of People’s Postcode Lottery for their support, which helps us care for cats like Jonny until they are adopted.”
All cats adopted from Cats Protection have been fully health-checked and come with a full medical history and four weeks’ free pet insurance which also covers new conditions.
Players of People’s Postcode Lottery have helped raise over £3.5 million for Cats Protection since 2018.
