We're here to support cats and kittens in Northumbria
Run by a small, dedicated, cat-loving volunteer team, we're passionate about:
- Improving the lives of cats and kittens in Northumbria
- Finding loving new homes for local cats in our care
- Offering support with neutering, and lost and found cats
- Providing general education and awareness across the area

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.
