(S.E. Kent Only)
The Cat Chat Charity has grown immensely over the last couple of years, and now we are in need of 2 new members on our friendly committee:

CHARITY TRUSTEE
We currently have a vacancy on our Trustee body. We would particularly like to hear from anyone with fundraising, marketing or managerial experience.

MINUTES SECRETARY
We urgently need a Minutes Secretary for our monthly meetings. This requires taking accurate notes, and compiling them into formal minutes using Word or similar.

Our meetings are held in RAMSGATE
If you might be interested in either of the above positions, and you live in or near Thanet, please email us

These positions are voluntary, and unpaid, although out-of-pocket expenses will be met.

Please bear in mind we are web-based, so you would be working FOR cats, and not directly with them.
Please Support Us!
Cat Chat helps over 5,000 cats and kittens each year out of shelters into homes...

Cat Fostering
Would you like to care for a cat, but don't want the lifelong responsibility that goes with it? Many rescues rely on cat foster homes to care for cats 'between homes'. Could you be a cat fosterer? Find out more here Cat Fostering
Indoor Cats
Want a cat, but live in a flat? Although a cat's natural instinct is to go outside, some cats can be better suited to the indoor life: Cats with FIV, deaf cats, blind cats, or very nervous or elderly cats. Ask at your local Rescue Centre

ANIMAL WELFARE CHARITY
Kent-wide
Based throughout Kent, the charity rescues and rehomes abused, abandoned and unwanted cats and dogs. They care for cats of all ages, sizes and from many backgrounds until good loving homes can be found. All homes are vetted prior to rehoming. They are a self-funded registered charity (no. 2912973) and are always in need of good quality bric-a-brac for fund-raising, and volunteers & foster homes are desperately needed too. If you are looking for a new feline friend to join your family, or if you wish to help in any way, please get in touch as follows.
Neutering Assistance: They also operate with the RSPCA to offer discounted neutering for cats (& dogs & rabbits).

THE CINNAMON TRUST
Registered Charity no: 293399
The national charity for elderly people, and their much loved, much needed companion animals. A network of 8,000 volunteers “hold hands” with owners to provide vital loving care for their pets. The trust aims to keep them together - for example, by walking a dog every day for a housebound owner, fostering pets when owners need hospital care, fetching the cat food, or even cleaning the budgie's cage. And when a pet is bereaved the Trust takes on their full time, life time care.
Short-Term Foster Homes Needed: Temporary, short-term foster homes are needed to care for bereaved cats whilst a Lifelong Home is being found, and also for when people need a hospital stay and require temporary foster care for their cat. Please contact us if you could help.
Lifelong Foster Homes Needed: Lifelong Foster Homes are required for cats left in the care of The Trust. Future Veterinary fees will be paid by The Cinnamon Trust. Please contact as below if you could offer a home for life to a bereaved cat.
Please Note: The Trust is not a rescue centre taking cats in for homing, but when an elderly owner dies, and their animal companion is left in their care, the Trust will do their best to find a loving, life-long foster home for them.
Postal Address: 10 Market Square, Hayle, Cornwall TR27 4HE

Pedigree Cats also find themselves in rescue centres, for the same reasons as many 'moggies' - a change in the owner's living arrangements, the family is emigrating, relationship breakdowns and divorce, a family member develops an allergy, the owner has died or gone into a care home, and many more reasons. There are many excellent breed-specific rescues across the country - if you are looking for a Pedigree Cat - click the link below for Pedigree Rescues...
