Drop-in Cat Champions Workshop

Join us for a fun and interactive Drop-in Cat Champions workshop, where families can learn how to help cats live happy, healthy lives.

This free session will take place on Tuesday 18th August, from 10.00am–12.00pm, at March Library.

There’s no need to book. Simply drop in at a time that suits you!

Each family will spend around 30 minutes completing the activities.

During the workshop, families will move through five interactive stations, each based on the five welfare needs that all pets require to stay healthy and happy. Children and adults will learn together through hands-on challenges, games and discussions focused specifically on the needs of cats.

At the start of the session, families will be welcomed and given an activity sheet to guide them around the room. Everyone (grown-ups included!) will work through the stations to complete a series of fun challenges and discover how to become Cat Champions.

Activities will explore topics such as creating safe and comfortable homes, understanding what cats should eat, why cats need opportunities to play, climb and explore, recognising when a cat might need to see a vet, and understanding feline behaviour and body language. Families will also discover fascinating cat facts and learn how to care for cats responsibly, whether they already have a feline friend or are thinking about welcoming one into their home.

The workshop is aimed at children aged 5–15, but the activities are designed so the whole family can get involved. Staff and volunteers will be on hand to guide families through each station, answer questions and support the activities.

Once families have completed all the stations, children will receive a Cat Champions certificate, along with a goody bag to take home.

Venue, parking and facilities

The workshop will be held at March Library, a welcoming community venue in the town centre. Public parking is available nearby, including short-stay and pay-and-display options within walking distance. The library is also served by local bus routes.

The venue has accessible entrances, toilet and baby-changing facilities, and space suitable for buggies and wheelchair users.

Whether you already share your home with a cat or are thinking about getting one in the future, this free drop-in session is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about responsible cat ownership, ask questions, and leave as a proud Cat Champion!
