Worried about a stray cat's health?

While we're not an emergency service, here are some options:

  • RSPCA: Visit rspca.org.uk/reportcruelty for advice and reporting cruelty.
  • Approach with care: Cover the cat with a blanket, place them in a carrier, and take them to a vet. Emergency care is free to the finder.
  • No cat carrier? Borrow one from us for a £20 refundable deposit. Collection points available.
  • Need a trap? Borrow a trap for a £100 refundable deposit. Collection points available.
  • No transport? We can deliver equipment for a £20 suggested donation.
