As pet owners, we understand the joy and companionship our furry friends bring into our lives. They’re part of the family, and their well-being is a top priority. However, with the cost of living on the rise, many of us are finding it increasingly challenging to juggle financial pressures with providing the best care for our beloved pets. But fear not, help is at hand. Cats Protection has compiled a list of resources and tips to ensure your cat can thrive, even on a tighter budget.
Did you know that some of the most engaging toys for cats can be made from everyday household items? Cats Protection suggests getting inventive with DIY toys – think puzzle feeders made from toilet roll tubes or cosy dens from cardboard boxes. Not only does this approach save money, but it also offers a fun, creative activity for the whole family. Plus, it’s environmentally friendly!
When it comes to treats and feeding, it’s easy to overspend without realizing it. Opting for bulk purchases or subscription services can significantly reduce the cost per serving. Another tip is to stick with dried food, which not only helps keep your cat at a healthy weight but also cuts down on the expense of pricier wet foods. Remember, moderation is key to prevent overfeeding and unnecessary expenses.
Holidays and time away from home can be a source of stress for both you and your cat. Finding a reliable cat sitter can ensure your cat remains in their familiar environment, reducing stress levels and avoiding the cost of boarding catteries. It’s a win-win solution for peace of mind.
Unexpected vet bills can be a significant financial strain. Cats Protection emphasizes the importance of securing pet insurance for your cat. This proactive step can help manage unforeseen costs, ensuring that your cat receives the care they need without the added stress of financial hardship.

At Rain Rescue, we understand the pressures pet owners are facing during the cost of living crisis. We’re here to support you in keeping your cat happy, healthy, and part of your family through these tough times. Remember, you’re not alone, and together, we can ensure our cats continue to live their best lives, regardless of financial constraints.
When you buy a gift for a Rain Rescue animal, it will help us to provide the care the cats and dogs in our centre need.
Treat them to a cosy place to sleep, a treat and a toy, or nutritious food to keep them strong. It’s a great way to donate, thank you.
Founded in 2002, our charity has saved the lives of thousands of the cats and dogs most at risk in and around Yorkshire. Our rescue centre provides the space and support needed for these abandoned animals to recover, thrive and find a loving home.
