Rehoming a Cat

Sadly, for various reasons, cats sometimes need to be rehomed.  The Shelter will always endeavour to take cats in as soon as we can, but this must always be by prior arrangement with the wardens (please ring 0114 272 4441 any afternoon between 1:30 and 4:00 pm).  This is so we can prioritise the most at risk cats, properly manage our quarantine procedures and take into account whether there sufficient space available or problems with infections (an inevitability in any multi-animal environment).

It is Shelter policy to always take in a cat that has previously been adopted out from us in the past but, as with all requests for rehoming, we ask that patience is exercised as the wait for an available space can sometimes take time.

Whatever the situation, if you find that you can no longer look after your cat - or you know of a stray that needs attention - please contact the Shelter and we will do our very best to help.
