In the charity's own words
Charity raises funds to pay for animals in their care until new homes can be found for them. All cats ,dogs and rabbits are neutered either prior to them being adopted or as soon as possible afterwards. All cats, dogs and rabbits are micro-chipped as well. We have our own cattery and we have many fosterers to care for young kittens in their own homes until they are old enough to be adopted.
