It’s a Cr*p deal for rescue kittens in the Western Isles

That’s why, with over 40 rescue kittens in the homes of foster carers in and around Stornoway, Western Isles Support for Cats and Kittens (WISCK) were truly relieved to receive an offer of help from recycled toilet paper manufacturers ‘Who Gives A Crap’.

The company love to make toilet paper, they say, because it’s funny and it gives them lots of room for toilet jokes.

But it’s also their way of making a difference, with 50 per cent of their profits going to help build toilets and improve sanitation in the developing world.

The company learnt about WISCK when one of the group’s supporters forwarded the organisation’s newsletter, ‘WISCKers’.

Since the loo roll manufacturer hase a head of feline relations (they really do), it was a natural response to put a complimentary box of 24 toilet rolls in the post to the Isle of Lewis.

A customer relations spokesperson said: “We adore cats! Thanks for sending this newsletter. That is soooo cute. Please give them this box of 24 recycled toilet paper rolls. I hope they love it.”

WISCK chair Cat Campbell said: “People always think about playing with and cuddling kittens, but any of our fosters could tell you that at least as much time is spent emptying trays, disinfecting floors and washing blankets that have been used as kitten-loos.

“We have runny bottoms, poo-ey footprints and everyday toilet training to deal with, and we get through a lot of paper, wipes and disinfectant spray, which doesn’t come cheap. So we’d like to thank Who Gives A Crap for helping to soften the job up for us.”

As you can see, five feral kittens from Lower Shader gave the product a thorough testing before it was distributed around foster homes in Lewis and Harris to help with….let’s just call it mopping up.
