Cats In Distress

Rescue, rehabilitation & rehoming cats & kittens in need, (and often helping people as well). This is the public page for Cats In Distress.

It is primarily used to alert people to cats & kittens that might have gone missing, have been found or are in need of assistance. Our other page, Friends of Cats In Distress, is a private group for anyone interested in finding out more about our work. Our private group allows us to share more information about often sensitive stories, we also highlight the cats & kittens available for ad

option. Previous adopters can privately share their photos and stories with other supporters of the charity; a feel good page with lots of heartwarming stories. Cats In Distress was established in May 2016 after a chat over a few glasses (or bottles) of wine. After several attempts at volunteering with several national charities, a number of us were very disillusioned; no matter what their public image, most large charities seem to be corporate, political entities who seem to have lost touch with their founders aims. Cats In Distress was born. We are run entirely by a team of volunteers, the rescue centre provides 7 spacious pens and an isolation pen, in addition we have 27 foster homes, who provide home to home care, for everything from newborn kittens to our golden oldies. All animals admitted are assessed and health checked, any treatments that are needed are carried out prior to adoption. All cats & kittens adopted from us are neutered, microchipped, FULLY vaccinated and have 5 weeks free insurance. We provide vouchers for neutering, help with vets fees, provide long term fostering in emergency situations, admit vet referrals and trap, neuter & relocate ferals, life is never dull. Cats come into us for a multitude of reasons. We will never judge, we don’t know what’s going on in peoples lives, but if they reach out to us, we will always try our best to help. Compassion for animals and people is and always will be at the heart of what we do. We don’t judge, we don’t know what problems they’re facing; eviction, death, financial difficulties, when calling us, by and large they all have one thing in common, they want the best for an animal. We pride ourselves on responding quickly and efficiently to enquiries. We aim to respond to general enquiries within 48 hours, or normally a lot quicker, enquiries for rehoming are often answered within 6 hours. Visits to meet our cats can be arranged within 24 hours, with a subsequent home check carried out within 48 hours. From an initial enquiry to rehoming it can take as little as a weekend for a cat to be successfully rehomed. That’s not to say we rush things, we just believe in getting things done. We are a small charity, rehoming over 300 cats & kittens a year. We are passionate about all cats and work long hours providing help where & when its needed.

Good morning!!

Not long until the big day now, so here is a reminder of some simple ways to keep your cat sate around the tree ( and the tree safe around your cat)

• Cover exposed wires to avoid cats nibbling.

•Use a heavy base to avoid your tree tumbling over.

• Take extra care if using tinsel that your cat does chew and ingest.

• Chose plastic ornaments over glass ones that can be smashed when they get paw patted off the tree (we all know that this game well)

• If you have a real tree, avoid using chemicals. This can be transferred and cause many serious medical issues.

Be vigilant if you are going to put chocolate ornaments on your tree, place as high as possible.

Share photos of your cat and what’s left of your tree below.

Classic Christmas shopping problem...

Providing sanctuary for EVERY cat.

The trustees and volunteers are dedicated to working to relieve the suffering of cats & kittens by providing them with, protection, rehabilitation & treatment. We rescue, care for & rehome all cats & kittens, whether domestic, mis-treated or abandoned. Each cat is assessed and treated according to its individual needs. Our foster homes provide a safe sanctuary of love, security & patience whilst we find them their forever home.

Feral cats or those cats which won’t do well in a normal domestic situation are neutered and if needed relocated to a more suitable location.

We believe there is the right home for every cat, but every cat is not the same. Each cat & each home is assessed to find the right match.

The charity actively promotes responsible pet ownership, by neutering, micro chipping & vaccinating all cats that are put up for adoption. If you’re looking to adopt a cat please visit our website www.cats-in-distress.org or email us at [email protected]
