Welcome to Forever Loved Cat Rescue

We do not have a cat rescue shelter with pens, or a centre open to the public. All of our cats and kittens are cared for in family homes by carefully assessed fosterers. They all receive lots of love, patience and socialisation. They are thoroughly assessed within foster to identify what type of home would best meet their long-term needs. We then go on to rehome appropriately to adopters who they are well matched to, following a review of their application, and a successful home visit.

​

If you would be interested in fostering for the rescue, please complete the application form below. We would arrange a home check to meet and discuss what is involved in more detail to ensure fostering is right for you and your family. As a rescue, we provide all of the food, litter, equipment and veterinary care needed. All you need is the time, commitment and love to look after a cat until it is ready for rehoming.  Support is always available throughout.

At Forever Loved Cat Rescue, we always ensure our cats and kittens are in good health. Many of the cats and kittens we take in to rescue are found fending for themselves outside or have come from bad situations. As a result, they often need veterinary care and attention. In order to meet our high vet bills, we run an online charity shop where we raise funds through the sale of second hand clothing and bric a brac. This can be found on facebook and is called 'Forever Friends Cat Rescue Online Charity Shop'

We carry out community fundraising activities and events where possible and rely heavily on kind donations from our supporters and members of the public.

We have a Justgiving site to enable people to donate towards the care of the resident cats.

We also rely heavily on donations of food and cat equipment donated by our supporters and members of the public. 

We have an amazon wish list to make it easy for people to decide what to donate if they struggle to know what would be useful. Our list can be found at:-

It is widely known that many areas are over-populated with cats. This is a direct result of people failing to neuter their pets who then go on to regularly re-produce.

As a rescue, we are dedicated to help control the over-population of cats by supporting with trap, neuter and return of known strays. This, in time, eliminates colonies. Where appropriate, cats are relocated to outdoor or working homes where they can remain feral, provide pest control, and be properly cared for. 

Neutering vouchers for known strays can be requested via Cats Protection. As a rescue, we can offer advice and support on the process and how to catch the cat. We can lend out a trap if we have one available, this is subject to a returnable deposit. We may be able to support with trapping if we have a volunteer available but unfortunately, we are unable to take the cats overnight to take to the vets as we rarely have spaces. Some vets will allow you to take the cat when you have trapped them, and will keep them overnight for neutering the following morning. You would need to check this with the vets prior to trapping.

All of the cats and kittens taken in to our care will have a settling in period, followed by a period of assessment. During the assessment period, we determine the personality and individual needs of the cat. We help socialise them and get them ready to search for forever homes. We match them to appropriate homes where they will be loved and where their individual needs will be met. All applications are reviewed, and a home check completed, before finalising adoption.  This is to ensure the cat will be safe and happy in their new home.

In order to help reunite lost cats with their owners, or to help bring strays in to rescue, We are happy to loan out a trap (subject to a £30 returnable deposit) and, where possible, will help with trapping locally. Trapping can be very time consuming but also rewarding. We will give advice and support where possible.
