LiberArte addresses the profound challenge of disconnection. When we perceive ourselves as separate from others, we breed issues like racism, homophobia, sexism, xenophobia, and even environmental degradation. Our mistreatment of the Earth arises from this disconnection too— this idea that we are separate from nature instead of part of nature ourselves. LiberArte facilitates a reconnection through the transformative power of the arts—to ourselves, each other, and the Earth—fostering unity and healing divisions to cultivate a more harmonious, equitable, and sustainable world.

We provide support and guidance from our National Cat Centre and through our regional and local volunteer groups and teams. We offer engaging online and face-to-face training, expenses and have policies and processes to help volunteers get the most out of their time with us.
The wellbeing of our people is important and at Cats Protection we are committed to safeguarding children, adults at risk and all those that we come into contact with as part of our activities.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
