*** HOMING SUSPENDED ***

In response to the government’s announcement about measures we should all be taking to help contain the spread of the Coronavirus, we are suspending home visits and homing until further notice, also lending traps for TNR. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We are still here, working away to help homeless, stray and feral cats and kittens. We can offer advice; we can post notices about lost and found cats and possibly help with emergencies.  We look forward to resuming our full services soon.

We feel it is very important to stress that there is currently NO evidence that cats can contract the virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) currently advises that there is no evidence to suggest that dogs or cats can be infected with the new Coronavirus. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seconds that opinion, stating, “At this time, there is no evidence that companion animals including pets can spread COVID-19.”
