Although we enjoy a high success rate in finding suitable homes for cats, some (fortunately very few) are too old, too frail, or just too antisocial for normal rehoming. Our policy is never to put a cat to sleep except on veterinary advice, so we look for special homes where these cats can live out the rest of their natural lives as 'sponsored cats' in safe accomodation, with regular meals and full veterinary care. It is very rewarding to offer a home to a mature cat - some live happily to over twenty years of age!
If you cannot home a cat yourself at present, perhaps you could spare a donation to sponsor one of these long-term residents. For £15 you can sponsor a cat for a year. You will receive a photograph and certificate of your chosen cat, along with an update on its welfare. Please use our sponsorship form.
These are our current sponsorship cats:
 |
Sex: Female (neutered) Age: Colour: ginger, short hair Came to us with her three kittens; she was feral and very aggressive. She has now tamed down but because of her previous life she likes wide open spaces. She has a rather strange temperament which makes her difficult to home. She will remain in our care. |
 |
Sex: Male (neutered) Age: Colour: black, long hair Is a black long haired cat. He has only 3 legs and is blind in one eye. It seems as if he has used up a few of his nine lives already. Because of his special needs he is staying in our care. |
 |
Sex: Female (neutered) Age: Colour: tortoiseshell and white, short hair Had been living in an old army depot, when she was found. She is still quite wild and will often spit at her fosterers. She does not like going out but prefers to be inside where she feels secure. She particularly likes sleeping in her fosterers bedroom where she will purr constantly. |
 |
Sex: Female (neutered) Age: Colour: siamese, semi-long hair Holly is a beautiful seal point, who, when she came into our care, was in a very poor condition with matted hair and not wanting to eat. She had to be coaxed into eating and drinking but eventually came round and is in the condition you see today. Unfortunately due to being ill treated she has behavioural problems, and also bad epileptic fits, which means she cannot be re-homed so in view of her special needs she has become one of our sponsor cats and stays in our care. She has been through a lot, but is now settling down. |
 |
Sex: Male (neutered) Age: Colour: tabby, short hair Is a loveable male tabby cat. His owners apparently moved home and left him to roam the streets where he was run over by a car. The vets contacted us and we took him in. He sustained some serious injuries but overcame them. Due to his skin complaint we have decided to keep him in our care. |
 |
Sex: Female (neutered) Age: Colour: black, short hair Munchie came to us as an RTA - she had a fractured skull, broken jaw (which had to be reconstructed), and numerous cuts and scraps all over her little body - she has made a very good recovery, but the trauma has left her with a 'dodgy' nature - she is very nervous of hands, and although she loves attention, she will lash out with her claws (sharp!) - because of this, we have made her a sponsor cat, where she will stay with her fosterer, and is able to live her life as freely as is possible. |
 |
Sex: Female (neutered) Age: 10 Colour: tabby and white, short hair Meg was a semi-feral who came to us with 3 kittens. As she was very nervous we relocated her to a local farm. After 4-5 weeks, she decided that she prefered domestic life after all, and made her own way back (approx 5 miles of countryside) to her fosterer, where she made herself at home. She is now much happier, but is still very nervous of anyone she does'nt know. Meg also has a respiratory problem which occasionaly requires medication. |
