I'm Doing a Pilgrimage to Raise Money for Cats

This February I'm raising funds for the charity Cats Protection by taking on the Big Winter Roam challenge. I'm aiming to walk 100 miles over the course of the month and raise £100. That's £1 per mile. Obviously I'd love it if people support my challenge to help to make a better life for cats. 

I think life is better with cats, especially if you are a witch. The picture at the top shows my two cats Tommy and Tuppence. They were found abandoned as kittens and I gave them a home with the help of Cats Protection. 

Walking 100 miles in 28 days means averaging about 4 miles per day, and I intend to start on February 1st with a short pilgrimage. It is just over 4 miles from my home in Penge, London, SE20, to the stone circle at Hilly Fields, Lewisham, where I'm going to be meeting druid friends for an Imbolc rite on Saturday. This time, I'll be walking all the way instead of taking the bus. Wish me luck!

If you also want to contribute a little money to Cats Protection, this is the link to my Just Giving page.

Here are a few ideas for what a donation could mean:

  • £5 can buy two cats catnip toys, providing enrichment to stimulate their minds
  • £10 could cover the cost of microchipping for four cats
  • £15 could cover the cost of a worming treatment for three cats to treat and prevent parasites
  • £20 could cover the cost of 12 soft blankets to keep cats warm, cosy and feeling safe in their beds in care
  • £50 could feed 10 cats in Cats Protection care for 25 days
Over the course of the month I'll be sharing photos and thoughts about my walking for the the Big Winter Roam challenge, as well as visiting witchy and pagan places to blog about.
