Cat Rescue & Adoption Centres: Derbyshire

Registered Charity no. 1172332
Established in Sheffield in 2013. 8 Lives Cat Rescue is small home-based rescue, rehoming mainly in Sheffield and the surrounding area, including parts of North Derbyshire. However, they will travel further to find the right home for cats with more complex needs. All cats are health checked, vaccinated, microchipped and treated for fleas and worms before adoption. If old enough they are also neutered. Those too young are rehomed with an adoption agreement that they are neutered as appropriate. 8 Lives Cat Rescue are very happy to keep in touch with adopters and offer support and advice, or just share photos!
