Pet Care Parties

CHILDREN’S PET CARE PARTIES!

Cats In Distress are now hosting Children’s Pet Care Parties.  We held our first Pet Care Party in Summer 2025.

Here at Cats in Distress we are incredibly passionate about animal care & welfare. We understand that a big part of moving forward towards positive change in animal welfare means educating and engaging with the younger generation, after all these are our future pet owners!

So, as part of our new education programme we have decided to kick off with a fun and engaging fundraising activity!

ABOUT THE PARTY

Our pet care parties include a variety of activities. Children can choose a cuddly toy ‘pet’ to adopt and take home, decorate a cardboard pet carrier for their new pet, make them a beaded collar, learn about animal welfare & care, and the ‘five freedoms’ from a registered veterinary nurse in a fun and engaging way, play animal theme games, plus, encourage socialising and positive play with their peers.

Each party usually has a theme in mind!

PRIVATE PARTIES

We are delighted to be able to offer Pet Care Parties for exclusive private hire as bespoke children’s birthday parties! If you would like to book a whole session for a party: a minimum of 10 children and a maximum of 15 children must be booked.  If you are interested in hiring a Pet Care Party then please check out our ‘Bespoke Pet Care Parties page.’

The real icing on the cake, however, is that every birthday child will receive a cat/kitten cuddling and playtime voucher to be used at our rescue on a separate date (to be arranged.) What’s better than kitten cuddling?!
