Most people would assume it was Cats Protection as the shop sign has .org.uk on its website (which doesnt exist) and the place has "Charity shop for cat rescue" sign outside..

Fundraising online but not a charity
Does anyone know if there are any web sites like justgiving that a local community group can use to receive online donations.
