Cats reach capacity at Animal Aid

Animal Aid is facing a challenge in our cattery as we struggle to accommodate the number of cats coming in. We are committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment for every animal in our care while they wait to find their new families. Right now, our cattery is currently at capacity and we are struggling to keep up with the number of animals coming in.

We have tried everything to make space for incoming lost and surrendered cats, including extending out kitten’s time in foster care, and housing two cats per pen. We have even purchased additional maxi crates to accommodate extra cats. Despite these efforts, our shelter is overflowing with cats who are looking for loving homes.

We have the most wonderful bunch of cats who are looking for their forever homes right now. Most have no major medical or behavioural issues and are eager to find their new families.

That’s where we need your help. Have you considered bringing a new furry family member into your home? Now might just be the perfect time. We have a cat in our care that will suit your home purrfectly. If you are not in a position to adopt, we are calling on our local community to foster cats and kittens to help us create more space in our shelter. By opening up your home to a cat or kitten, you will be helping us to care for more animals in need.

Our cattery team is dedicated, passionate, and experienced in helping you find your new companion.

By adopting a cat, you will be giving them a second chance at a happy life and also easing the pressure on our shelter and the many other cats who are waiting for our help. We hope to see you soon and thank you for your support.
