Objectives

We are a foster based registered charity based in York, dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation & rehoming of cats & kittens in need.Our mission:

To provide a safe haven for cats and kittens in need. We assess and consider the individual needs of every cat, ensuring first-rate holistic care is given. We pride ourselves in maintaining high-quality veterinary support provisions for all cats in our care.

We aim to alleviate suffering and improve the wellbeing of cats and kittens. We rescue and rehabilitate and once ready, we rehome to loving new families.

Treating every feline with compassion, dignity and understanding our aim is never to turn away a cat in need of our help – this means we are committed to a non-selective intake policy. Subject to space availability, but irrespective of, condition, age, temperament or health. We will do all we can to help any cats and kittens who find themselves in need.

Our vision:

Our vision is a world where humans treat cats and kittens with compassion, respect and understanding. As a charity we aim to alleviate suffering and positively influence welfare standards of cats and kittens in care.
