Activities & Mission

The Charity rehomes cats/kittens in the Colchester area. Each cat has a vet check up, neutering, vaccinating, microchipping.We have a number of cats available for rehoming. Some cats are also looked after at the Sanctuary for the rest of their lives, cats are only put to sleep on veterinary advice.We are entirely dependent on our fundraising, and run a small Charity Shop to help provide income
