Our Mission

Our mission is simple: no cat left behind. We take in strays, abandoned pets and cats whose owners can no longer care for them. Working with a network of dedicated foster carers across Hereford, Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, we give every cat the time, care and patience they need before matching them with their perfect forever home.

Why fostering matters

Fostering saves lives. Every foster home frees up space for another cat in need, and gives a rescued cat something a shelter never can: a sofa, a window sill, and a person of their own. We cover food, litter and all veterinary costs — you provide the love. Whether for two weeks or two months, fostering is the single most valuable thing you can do for a rescue cat.

Zorro & Zoe, looking for a forever home
Available💕 Bonded pairAdoption only

Zorro & Zoe

These two are wonderfully sweet, gentle and affectionate kittens who absolutely love attention. The moment you stroke them, they start purring and happily lean in for more cuddles. They are full of love and are always happiest when they're together, whether they're playing, sleeping curled up side by side, or following each other around.

Medical: Both kittens have been checked by a vet, flea-treated and wormed. Their first vaccinations are arranged. They are not neutered yet, as they are still too young and don't weigh enough, but this will be done when they are old enough. They have no known medical issues.

Special requirements: Zorro and Zoe must be adopted together. They are deeply bonded and rely on each other for comfort, confidence and companionship. They are looking for a patient, loving family who will give them the security they deserve and let them continue their journey through life side by side. They have already had a wonderful second chance—now all they need is a forever home where they will be cherished for the rest of their lives.

Facts you may not know 🐾

Thinking of letting your cat have “just one litter”? Here's why spaying and neutering matters — for your cat, and for every cat waiting in rescue.

One cat can lead to 20,000

One unneutered female and her offspring can produce up to 20,000 descendants in just five years — far more kittens than there are homes waiting for them.

Kittens can have kittens

Cats can get pregnant from just four months old, while they're still kittens themselves. Early neutering protects them from the strain of pregnancy far too young.

Neutering keeps toms safer

Unneutered males roam for miles, fight over territory and are far more likely to catch FIV or be injured on the roads.

It's kinder, not cruel

Neutered cats are calmer, less likely to spray or stray, and on average live longer, healthier lives.

It protects against illness

Spaying dramatically reduces the risk of womb infections and mammary tumours, and neutering prevents testicular cancer.

Rescues are full

Every unplanned litter takes a foster space from a cat already waiting. Neutering is the single best way to help rescues like ours.

Not sure where to start? Speak to your vet about neutering — many local charities can help with the cost. It's one of the kindest things you can do for your cat.
