Cats are neutered - a major aspect of the Trust's work is to try to keep down the number of unwanted kittens. Each cat is thoroughly vet checked, including a blood test for FIV and FeLV in order to help reduce the spread of these viruses. Once checked the new arrival is placed at one of our foster homes where it will be given unstinted love and attention whether it's stay is long or short. All prospective homes are carefully checked before cats can be re-homed. We try hard to match temperaments of cats and new owners.
99% of the cats coming in to us are re-homed. Sometimes animals are too sick, old or difficult to put into a family home, in which case we care for them as long as possible, believing that they deserve comfort and happiness even if their life is almost over. Euthanasia is a final resort and is only ever carried out if the cat is suffering and has no hope of recovery.
