In the charity's own words
HCR cover cat and kitten rescue. All cats are neutered, vaccinated* and microchipped before going to their new homes. We educate the public, reinforcing the importance of neutering and micro-chipping cats. We also trap, neuter and release feral cats, helping to humanely reduce the number of feral colonies.* FIV positive cats should not have immune system further compromised by vaccination.
