Let’s be honest: nobody actually owns a cat. We are simply unpaid household staff.

Despite the strict demands and 3:00 AM zoomies, we wouldn't trade their purrs, headbutts, and chaotic energy for the world.

Thinking of serving a furry boss of your own? Check out the RSPCA’s guide to the real costs of cat ownership before taking the plunge.

Happy International Cat Day 😸

Is the stress of back-to-school costs getting you down? 🎒 We know that buying new uniforms, shoes and supplies can feel like a huge burden after the summer holidays.

It's during these times that illegal moneylenders, also known as loan sharks, can seem like a quick solution. They often operate online, offering fast cash via social media and WhatsApp.

But please, don't be tempted. These loans are incredibly dangerous:

❌ They charge outrageous interest rates.
❌ There’s often no paperwork, so you don't know the real terms.
❌ They can trap you in a never-ending spiral of debt.

You have other options:

✅ Government grants you may be eligible for
✅ Credit unions like us!
✅ Free debt advice
✅ Support from local communities and charities

⚠️ IF YOU HAVE BORROWED FROM A LOAN SHARK, THERE IS HELP. ⚠️

Support is free, confidential and non-judgmental.

Helpline: 📞 0800 074 0878
Or visit the Scottish Illegal Money Lending Unit website.
