CAT RESCUE & REHOMING CENTRES - OXFORDSHIRE |

BANBURY ANIMAL RESCUE AND KINDNESS SERVICE (B.A.R.K.S.)
Registered Charity no. 1064556
Banbury Animal Rescue & Kindness Service is a volunteer run animal rescue & re-homing organisation covering North Oxfordshire & parts of Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire & Warwickshire. They take in stray & unwanted cats, kittens, rabbits & guinea pigs and find them good, caring, approved homes. The animals are cared for by fosterers until approved homes are found for them. Prospective adopters are subject to a home visit and once approved an appointment to visit the foster homes to view and hopefully adopt one or more of the cats or kittens available, can be arranged. The adoption fees are £40 for a cat and £35 for a kitten, (a £15 non-refundable deposit is required if you wish to reserve a cat or kitten). It costs approximately £30,000 per year to run the foster homes but with no grants or funding, all costs are covered by adoption fees, donations & fundraising. If you are interested in adopting or reserving any of the cats or kittens available for adoption, or would like to help at any of our fundraising events, please call: 07787 406915. |

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.

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...
