Bespoke Birthday Pet Care Parties!

ALL BLOGS

Cats in Distress are now hosting Children’s Pet Care Parties and we’re bringing them to you!

Do you know a little animal lover that would enjoy a birthday party with a difference?  Then why not book one of our Pet Care Parties for private hire.  We can bring the party to you either at your home or at a venue of your choice.  What’s even better is that this birthday party actually MAKES A DIFFERENCE!  All donations received from our Pet Care Party bookings will go directly towards helping look after the cats in our care.  The real icing on the cake, however, is that the birthday child will receive a kitten/cat cuddling and playtime voucher to be used at our rescue on a separate date to the party.  *Insert squeal of delight here!

Here at Cats in Distress we are incredibly passionate about animal care & welfare. We also understand that a big part of moving forward towards positive change involves engaging with and educating the younger generation.  Our parties are not only fun but will also support a great cause and aim to provide age appropriate pet care education.

ABOUT THE PARTY

We will bring (to your chosen venue) our mobile ‘pet adoption station’ where children can choose a cuddly toy ‘pet’ to adopt and keep.  They will each receive an adoption certificate.

The main portion of the party is based around crafting and so a love of arts and crafts and the space to do so is a must.  The children will decorate a cardboard pet carrier for their new ‘pet’ and make them a beaded collar with the help of our wonderful volunteers.

The rest of the party will be tailored and bespoke to suit your individual space and requirements and the remaining time available.  Upon prearrangement with you we can collaborate to make your child’s birthday party as memorable and as fun as possible!  Whether this is through playing animal themed party games, learning about animal care & welfare, learning how to give their new ‘pet’ a health check at our mobile ‘vet station’ with our Registered Veterinary Nurse Jade or simply through socialising and play with their peers!  We can be as involved as much or as little as you would like in your child’s bespoke pet themed birthday party experience!
