Cats In Crisis 3 Newhaven Drive
Lincoln

LN5 9UF
01522 522311 Lucy Cats In Crisis is a new charity group, based in Lincoln. We are all local people, our sole aim being to aid the needy cats of Lincoln in any way we can. We are a small concern and as such do not have limitless resources, but we do what we can, whenever we can. We make no profit and all money raised goes straight towards improving the life of a cat or kitten. Every cat or kitten we take into our care is treated for fleas/mites and wormed. We also microchip all our cats prior to re-homing. Any necessary veterinary treatment is also given. We neuter all cats over 6 months of age before re-homing. We are also able to offer advice if you need it in order to ensure your cat gets the very best care you can give them. Another service we provide is to keep an up to date lost and found register covering the Lincoln area

Feral Cat Welfare PO Box 293
Leeds

LS16 0ER
07876 212 518 Sally Byers or Anna Keightley Helping the stray and feral cats of Leeds live a healthier, happier life. Feral Cat Welfare cares about the abandoned and stray cats living outdoors and struggling to find food and shelter wherever they can. Our aim is to tackle the problem at source by encouraging cat owners to have their cats neutered so preventing kittens from being born outside, which then grow up to be nervous or semi-wild (feral) and consequently unwanted. We raise funds to buy food and cat kennels, and when possible, foster kittens/cats until homes can be found. We are currently recruiting volunteers to join this new group.
Friends of Orkney Ferals Bain Cottage, Quoyloo, Sandwick, Orkney
KW16 3LT
01856 841829 Penny Bailey or Lindsay Bailey Friends of Orkney Ferals is run entirely by volunteers who give their time for free. All money from memberships and donations is used 100% for the benefit of feral cats and kittens here in Orkney. Firstly we never "put down" any healthy cats/kittens. Our policy is simple: all cats are treated with kindness, be they feral or domestic. You will be visited by one of our fully trained trapping teams, who will use only approved trap cages. We never leave cats/kittens in the traps for more than a few minutes after being trapped. They are transferred to small cages and covered with a blanket to keep them calm. We never leave traps set and unattended, especially overnight. Your cats will then be transported to the veterinary surgery and neutered, flea and worm treated. Cats are returned the same day. Kittens under 4 months can sometimes be taken and socialised by members of the group, space permitting.
