Our feedback
What our families say
Supporting families is one of our key objectives at the charity - here is what they say about us!
The CATS Foundation made such a difficult time so much easier for our family - we'd be lost without them and the support they gave us.
Nikki
Mum to Ruby
When our son was diagnosed we got so much help from CATS. Without them, I honestly don't know what we would have done without their support.
Emma
Mum to Stanley
Those first few months were so difficult, without the guidance provided by CATS to help us prepare and come to terms with a diagnosis it would have been so tough.
