Compassion: We offer kindness and empathy to all cats and humans.

Integrity: We are trustworthy and honest.

Commitment: We are attentive and aim for excellence.

What We Do



Vet Care & Neutering

We ensure every cat that comes through our doors is health checked by a vet, vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and treated for any other medical conditions (e.g. dentistry).



Adoption & Rehoming

We strive to find each and every cat that comes through our doors a purrfect home. We have a thorough adoption process where we aim to match the right cat to the right home.

w

Offering Help & Advice

 We can offer advice on cat welfare, rehoming, lost and found cats, fostering and help with referrals for free or discounted neutering and microchipping.



Rescue

We admit cats from all backgrounds regardless of age, sex, owned or stray, pregnant or poorly, on their own or a pair. If we can help, we will!
