About Cat and Kitten Rescue
Cat and Kitten Rescue is a small charity focused on neutering and homing stray cats and their offspring.
We mainly cover the Borehamwood and Watford areas but also work in parts of North London, as far east as Potters Bar and as far north as Hemel Hempstead.
We place the cats and kittens in our charge into foster homes rather than into a cattery.
We also provide a trap, neuter and return for feral cats to help reduce the future stray population. If we take in any feral kittens under 11 weeks, if possible, we will try and socialise and domesticate them, so they can go to a loving new home.
We are a no-kill shelter, so will never put a healthy cat to sleep.
Our funding mainly comes from our eBay shop and donations to our charity shop in Borehamwood.
With Thanks To Our Supporters
We are lucky enough to have excellent support from the Pets at Home Charity Lifelines scheme as well as the wonderful staff at Medivet Hendon and Alistair J Poole vets in Harpenden.
Found A Stray Or Lost Cat?
A lot of cats, especially younger cats, wander away from their home and may appear to be lost or a stray. If the cat is wearing a collar or appears to be in good health, the best advice is to not feed it. Feeding would only encourage it to keep returning which can be frustrating or distressing for the owners. There could also be health risks feeding a cat if it's on a specific diet.
Since 10th June 2024 it has been mandatory that all cats are microchipped before the age of 20 weeks, making it easier to reunite lost cats with their owners. If you believe a cat to be lost, the chip can be scanned by either your nearest vet or by a "Scan Angel" who can visit your property to scan the cat in situ. You can find local "Scan Angels" using the website Microchip Central.
If you are concerned about the health of the cat or if the cat appears to be injured you can take it to the nearest vet practice. Vets have a duty of care to treat sick or injured animals and there would be no cost to you as the finder. If the vet is unable to locate an owner they will place the cat in the care of an animal charity to be rehomed.
