Shady
This lovely young four year old boy came to us as he was not happy with a dog. He is good-natured and likes attention so we are looking for a home where there are no other pets.
Paws & Claws Book Fair
Our Book Fairs are a magnet for enthusiasts from all over southern England with over 40 stalls selling thousands of interesting rare and collectable books. Next date 15 March.
Cats of Courage
A compilation of 23 heartwarming stories of our bravest cats who have faced great adversity with great courage. Available from our online shop.
Microchipping your pet
Since the 10 June 2024 it has been a legal requirement to have your cat microchipped or you could face a £500 fine.
The new law applies to both indoor and outdoor cats but not to farm or ferals with little or no interaction with people.
We ensure that all cats that leave our Rescue Centre have been microchipped.
Homes with young Children
Some of our cats and kittens have been rescued from difficult circumstances and from our long experience we believe that they will fare best in new homes where there are NO CHILDREN UNDER 5 YEARS.
Rural / Outside home needed for young neutered cat
