C4 was originally called the "Cat Care and Control Consortium" and was set up in 1999 by four charities - RSPCA Central London, SNIP, Cats Protection and Animal Aid & Advice , who came together in order to use economies of scale  in tackling cat overpopulation. The first three continue to support the scheme along with the national RSPCA and several of its separately funded local branches

​

We remain grateful to all of those former funders who have joined us at different points along our journey to help make our work sustainable and effective. These include:

​

• Animal Aid & Advice London

• ARCH

• Cat Action Trust 1977

• The Mayhew 

• Petplan Charitable Trust

• Wood Green​

​

The RSPCA's London Region Branches support us collectively through funding as a region;

The following current local Branches, either in current form or as precursor branches who merged, have funded us further during our history in addition to pooled funding.

​​

• RSPCA Bromley & District

• RSPCA Central London

• RSPCA Essex SW

The original C4 scheme was maintained for almost 25 years by a group of volunteers who handled arrangement for payments to vets and all manner of admin and correspondence. The team has changed over the years but special mention should be made of the following individuals:

​​​

• Les Sutherland

• The Late Anne Sutherland

• Frazer Wright

• Christine Beaumont-Kerridge

Finally a huge thank you to Ali Limentani RVN who is responsible for the fabulous artwork and graphic themes used on the site, which she created for us at a very low cost. Ali's website is https://alisonlimentani.wixsite.com/
