Second Chance - Hartlepool Cat Rescue

Second Chance - Hartlepool Cat Rescue A Hartlepool based cat rescue / cat adoption service. All adoptions are subject to an adoption fee.

Donations can be made by bank transfer to Second Chance, sort code 30-98-97, account 74094768 OR PayPal to [email protected] Second Chance (Previously We Help Hartlepool Animals) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping as many cats and kittens in the Hartlepool area as possible. We are a completely volunteer-run organisation and solely depend on peoples generosity. If you can d

onate anything to help us with upkeep for our cats and vet bills, please get in contact with us via our page. We did work very closely with the Teesside branch of Cats Protection, who were generous enough to help with our neutering costs. Last year (2021) alone the bill for them to neuter/spay Hartlepool cats (including owned ones) was over £50,000, and the problem is still far from solved. Hartlepool is one of the worst areas in the United Kingdom for overbreeding cats. We do our best to help as many cats as we can, including taking in stray cats, loved pets when their owners are no longer able to care for them, feral cats, and even managing to bring some feral cats to the point where they can also be placed in a loving home. Within the last year we have helped over 350 cats/kittens, and we still have a lot more to go. If you would like to donate funds to us for vet bills and food/litter to care for our cats, our bank details are:

Very sad news indeed hearing of the passing of Janey Cunningham who set up Yarm Cat Rescue. Lovely girl who I adopted from and volunteered for, and always friendly and helpful when I set up in cat rescue too. RIP lovely, bet there was a right welcome at the gate for you xx

CLOSED - we have literally had over 50 applications. These kittens need QUIET SAFE homes, not to be flung into the middle of a noisy family Xmas. All applications will be considered but preference given to what the kittens need - Top kitten already reserved. Two beautiful little girls and at bottom is black/white boy. All turn 8 weeks in a couple days. Loving homes wanted but PLEASE if you are having a "BUSY" Christmas holiday it will be too much for these little ones. They'll need somewhere it's going to be more quiet and sedate please.

Chance would like to say a BIG thank you to Helen at Asda, Hartlepool and all the lovely people who came to see us today, donated cash, cat food and bought merchandise or had a go (or three) on our tombola. We had some great conversations, gave out advice about fleas (YUK!) and have a couple cats to follow up on. We also raised the brilliant sum of £232 :D That will help us look after all the cats and kittens into the New Year.

Sadly there is no longer such a thing as "kitten season" - it continues all year long. Only this week we took in a mum who had literally just given birth in someone's garden. She's now warm and safe with her little tiny babies. Very lucky indeed to have been looked after by such a caring person who called us in.

She's such a lovely girl, no nastiness in her at all, a brilliant mummy and so sweet.
