I can no longer keep my cat. Can you help?
We rehome a large number of cats per year and do home visiting to ensure that cats go to a good home. We have limited places available, so operate a waiting list system. To add your cat to our waiting list, call Welfare on 08453 711 858. This doesn't commit you to handing over your cat to us, so please register with us as soon as possible.
A family member has an allergy to cats. What should I do?
Contact your doctor if you haven't done so already. It is worth trying a product called Petal Cleanse, available from Boots, which is applied to the cat but please read the instructions first. Our Welfare Officer can also give further advice on dealing with allergies; please call her on 08453 711 858.
Can you help with ferals / semi-ferals?
Unfortunately we don't have the facilities to take in cats that are not tame enough to be handled. We have occasional enquiries from people who would like semi-ferals for vermin control, so are happy to take your details to pass on to them.
We are also able to lend you a trap so that you can take your cat to the vet for neutering. We charge a deposit which is refunded on return of the trap.
Can you rehome my Bengal / Somali cat?
Sorry we are not able to take in these two breeds of cat. We recommend you try a specialist organisation.
Your waiting list is full. Who else can I contact?
We recommend you contact one of these two organisations:

LOST & FOUND
I've lost my cat. Is it with you?
As we have limited places, we probably don't have your cat in our care. But PLEASE ring Lost & Found on 08453 719 593. We have a volunteer dedicated to helping to reunite lost cats with their owners. See the Lost & Found section of this website for more help finding your cat.
I've found a cat. Can I keep it?
You need to have made a reasonable attempt to find the cat's owner before you can adopt this cat. This should include contacting Lost & Found on 08453 719 593, phoning all of the local vets in your area, putting up posters and putting a note on the cat's collar.
GENERAL
Can I visit your shelter?
Unfortunately we do not have a shelter and our cats are cared for by volunteers in their own homes. Therefore we usually only allow visits by people who would like to adopt a cat or kitten from us.
Where can I donate food / cat litter?
Alternatively, these items can be donated at any of our stalls. See
Events section for upcoming events.
Can I donate bric-a-brac / books / foreign coins?
Yes, please bring them to one of our stalls. See
Events section for upcoming events.
Do you cover Shrewsbury?
No, sorry, Shrewsbury branch is currently closed and we do not have any volunteers in that area.
