Quarterly Animal Update

Animal Team Update

Out of the 222 animals we took into our care from 1st April to 30th June 2025, 93.7% were cats and kittens - we are truly living in an epidemic of proportions we have not seen before. 

In just one month (June 2025), we’ve brought in 121 animals  - 1/4 of our entire annual intake in 2024. On top of that, our Trap-Neuter-Release program saw 8 community cats humanely trapped, neutered, and returned, helping manage the local stray population. 

In just 48 hours, we took in 30 kittens - a powerful reminder of why neutering is so important. Without it, cats can reproduce rapidly, leading to overwhelming numbers of unwanted litters and putting immense pressure on rescues like ours. Neutering not only prevents this cycle but also helps reduce the number of cats living in unsafe or unhealthy conditions. It’s a simple, humane way to protect animals and give every cat a better chance at a safe, loving life.

Neutering has never been more important so as a responsible rescue, we made the decision to keep kittens with our foster carers/cattery until they have received the operation, rather than providing adopters with vouchers to get it completed later - this means more funding is required but it will also start to help make the right move towards less unwanted animals on the streets.

The good news is we managed to successfully adopt out over 70 animals, although if you’ve done the maths here you can see that still leaves us with over 140 animals in our care with a waiting list of over 50 animals.

To help our local community we worked with our teams to provide welfare assistance through donations of food, bedding, toys and more to over 100 families and through financial assistance to help neuter animals.
