The Object of  The  Clubs' Rescue  and Welfare

The object of the Club shall be to relieve the suffering and distress of  British Shorthair Cats or kittens  in need of care, attention or re-homing as a result of ill treatment, hardship, neglect or  a change of circumstances.

Do we have places where rescue cats are held for people to come and see and choose?

No, cats  are usually re-homed directly from their  owner, except in emergency cases where the cat  may  have been fostered for a few days in  Committee member's private home.

How long will I have to wait before being offered a  cat or  a kitten from Rescue ?

It does very as sometimes  people on our waiting list  are no longer  waiting and have not informed us, however all details on our list are carefully registered, it is  not  a case of  first come first served, as we do try to match the cat  as close  to  the prospective  owner as possible and  according the cats  personality. If  the prospective owner can be flexible in their chose of colour or age of cat that is  also a huge help.

How much will I have to pay?

In previous years there has  been no charge for re-homed/rescue cats, but due to increasing costs the club has  now decided that  where possible a charge of £20 is made.

What happens if things do not work out?

We are always there to give help and advice but, in the event of an unhappy situation or a sudden change in circumstances, we will arrange to take the cat back and re-home elsewhere with the knowledge of any problems previously incurred.

For all rescue enquires please contact Val Shepherd on 

01462 701046 or valtrubrit@btinternet.com
