together,” World League<br />

from Gladesville’s World<br />

League for the Protection<br />

of Animals on the<br />

corner of Cowell Street<br />

and Victoria Road, where<br />

dozens of cats and kittens<br />

await loving homes.<br />

With the onset of winter,<br />

the World League<br />

hopes compassionate<br />

locals can spare<br />

old blankets and winter<br />

warmers for the cats as<br />

well as make a fully tax<br />

deductable donation.<br />

“We were registered as<br />

a campaign and rescue<br />

animal charity in 1937<br />

and has been occupying<br />

one of suites here on the<br />

st floor on the corner<br />

of Cowell and Vic. Rd.,<br />

Gladesville since 1987,”<br />

Halina Thompson said.<br />

“We are your local<br />

‘No Kill’ and volunteer<br />

based, self funded organisation<br />

which over<br />

the last 80 years has<br />

worked successfully on<br />

many different animal issues<br />

relating to farm animals,<br />

wildlife and companion<br />

animals.<br />

“Currently we are focusing<br />

on helping the<br />

community with lost or<br />

abandoned cats and kittens.<br />

“Once we rescue an<br />

animal, we then appeal<br />

for foster carers to take<br />

in rescued cats and kittens<br />

and once the pets<br />

are micro chipped, vaccinated<br />

and desexed, we<br />

seek permanent loving<br />

safe homes for them.”<br />

thank the many many<br />

people whose compassion<br />

and generosity<br />

has enabled the World<br />

League for Protection of<br />

Animals to continue for<br />

over 80 years.<br />

“We are a registered<br />

charity and all donations<br />

are tax deductible and<br />

as we are run by volunteers<br />

you can be assured<br />

that funds are used to<br />

provide for the needs of<br />

animals.<br />

“Winter is an especially<br />

hard time for lost or<br />

abandoned cats who, as<br />

we all know, love nothing<br />

more than affection and<br />

warmth.<br />

“Just like us, animals<br />

feel hunger, thirst, cold,<br />

pain, fear and loneliness”.<br />
