Our Mission
4 The Love of Cats is a closed intake rescue that has been established to work in conjunction with local pounds and rescues to help reduce their euthanasia rates.
While the rescue has the facilities to cater from kittens to senior cats the focus will be on vetting and then rehoming cats that other groups do not have the space or capacity to bring into care.
Each cat or kitten will be microchipped, desexed, vaccinated, wormed and flea treated before being adopted to the public. Felines will remain in care from the time of collection from the pound until their forever home is found.
It does not matter the length of time it takes to find a cat their human, they will not be euthanised .
4 The Love of Cats adoptees will always have a place at the rescue. If an adopters circumstances change 4 The Love of Cats will bring the cat back into care as soon as there is space. This is in effect for the life of the cat.
Meet the Founder
Hi my name is Sara. I’ve spent over ten years in the rescue field, and it’s work that’s shaped me as much as I’ve shaped it. I started 4 The Love of Cats because I wanted to offer a safe haven for adult rescue cats, the ones who so often get overlooked.
At home, I have two little people, dogs, a couple of cats, all of whom I adore. They keep life loud, busy, and full.
For me, rescue is a small way I can contribute to changing the world. One cat, one family, one second chance at a time. And with the support of many amazing people, we are doing just that.
