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.

A few photos from Saturday nights inaugural CID quiz night. It was a great turnout and everyone certainly seemed to enjoy themselves. Embarrassingly, it was my team who took the winning spot, but that was only due to a late addition to our team. Paul Tppenden had unexpectedly fond himself to be a lone player and asked if he could join our team. Little did we know we had inadvertently gained a music mastermind.

As it turned out Paul knows everything, and anything, about music, out of our team, he alone answered 95% of the questions, so by a unanimous decision he was declared the winner. 🏆 Bringing up the rear were Jenny & James Cole, who look forward to handing over the wooden spoon at the next quiz. 🥄

A huge thanks to our quizmaster Steve Hall and Mark Cooke our MC for the night.

Importantly, as well as having a fun night, thanks to everyone's amazing generosity we raised,
🎉🎉🎉 £660. 🎉🎉🎉

Merry Christmas from us all at Cats In Distress.

😻🎄🎅🏻 TODAY! 🎅🏻🎄😻
😻🎄🎅🏻 TODAY! 🎅🏻🎄😻

We are already setting up for a very exciting day! Remember if you can’t make it today, you can still support us by donating via the link below. https://cats-in-distress.enthuse.com/#!/ And for those who are coming down to see us, remember to say hello to Santa and grab some yummy cake ! 😻😻😻

Cats In Distress Christmas Fair is being held on Saturday 9th November.Our wonderful supporter Maureen has been busy making her beautiful items including glasses cases, tote bags, advent calendar, bunting and cat nip toys that have had the royal approval from our CID cats. These and many more handmade products will be available to purchase on the day.Why not buy your loved ones something truly special this Christmas and know that you are also helping to support cats and kittens in need.

These two kittens were handed into Harris Hill and Gibbons vets on Friday, after being found in a compost bin at or near Rivermead School in Melksham. I'm afraid we don't have any further information regarding any other kittens or mum cat. Feeding queens will very often move their litter to a fresh site a few weeks after giving birth. Sometimes they need to make several journeys leaving kittens alone for a while. We would advise anyone finding young vulnerable kittens to monitor the situation before moving or removing them. Sadly, its not an exact science, obviously common sense should prevail. If they are out in the open, getting cold or wet or likely to be seen by predators don't hesitate to get them to safety. But by keeping a watchful eye from a distance we can give mum a chance to come back and then also attempt to bring her and any other kittens into safety.

Cats In Distress- ‘Since we opened our doors in May 2016, our team of volunteers has worked tirelessly to save lives and promote animal welfare. We’ve helped well over 2,000 cats, and now help more than 350 cats a year. Rehoming domestic cats is just a small part of what we do. As well as working with members of the public to help strays and abandoned cats, we are proud to work alongside other welfare organisations, such as Search & Scan, Cats Protection and the RSPCA.’ The International day of charity is a day to raise awareness of the importance of supporting charities , engaging in acts of kindness and giving. Ask to society. This day is all about encouraging people to help make the world a better place. 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 🐈‍⬛

Love your cats? Get them microchipped. More proof if its needed that microchipping your pet actually works. Some of you might have read the recent story from Search and Scan - SAS about Nibbler. This boy had managed to travel from Southampton but with the help of diligent members of the public, and up to date microchip details the team were able to deliver him to us for safekeeping, until his owners were able to collect him. Another happy cat and owners reunited. #microchip #microchipyourpets #loveyourcat

See you all at our Spring Fair TODAY! 😻

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]
