POWYS ANIMAL WELFARE 

The charity takes in animals who are stray,abandoned or in need of a care for whatever reason and re-homes to suitable vetted new owners. A neutering service is also a major part of the charities work. Feral cat colonies are also trapped and neutered and returned where possible to their original site. The charity works closely with other similar like minded charities in the Powys area.
