Our History
Evesham Branch was set up in 1982 in premises at the rear of a veterinary surgery in the centre of Evesham.
In 1989 we were forced to move from our premises and were given space to rent by the National Canine Defence League in Wickhamford. It has taken several years to achieve what we have today and we are extremely proud of our rescue centre.
We have 15 standard sized pens which can accommodate up to three cats comfortably, a middle sized multi pen which could take five or six cats in one go (assuming they are from the same family!) and a large multi pen block of three pens, each of which could house five of six cats with no problem. In the height of the summer when we are at our busiest we have been known to have between 50 and 60 cats to care for. Fortunately this state of affairs does not last too long!
Volunteers staff the rescue centre every day of the year. Each of us has a set time during which we are on duty. This can range from several hours to feed and clean the cats or just a couple of hours to help groom the animals and generally make a fuss of them.
The aims of our rescue are to take in unwanted or stray cats and kittens, neuter them where necessary, rehabilitate them and then rehome them to loving homes in the Evesham and surrounding area.
We are also there to give advice on the care of cats, neutering and behavioural problems. We can help financially with the neutering of cats over six months old.
The rescue is funded by donations and fund raising efforts only. Our monthly vets’ bill can be anything from £1000 - £2000. Food is also a major expense along with heating in the winter months.
This is a very brief view of our rescue. We are always very happy to see visitors whether they have come to offer a home to one of the animals or just to look round. It is best to ring us first on Evesham 833343 to make an appointment.
