Do you need MORE HOMES for cats in your care?
A FREE Rehoming Web Page on Catchat.org could help!

Our homing pages are available to all UK Rescue Centres and Rehoming Groups, large or small.

If your rescue group doesn't currently use the web to feature cats seeking homes, you are missing out on many potential new homes, as an increasing number of people are using the web as a first step to adopting a rescue cat. Even if you do already feature cats on the web, you are still welcome to have a Cat Chat Homing Page.

We are a Registered Charity, and we are here to help YOU! Cat Chat offers every rescue group in the UK, large or small, the opportunity to benefit from this valuable rehoming resource, by offering a free Rehoming Web Page to all UK rescues. You don't have to be a registered Charity yourselves to get a page.

This is an important part of what our Charity is set up to do. The first Object in our constitution is "To promote the efficiency and effectiveness of charities whose purposes are to promote animal welfare, by the provision of an internet web site, IT support and facilites". In short, if you are a rescue, we're here to help you!
If your rescue would like a page, or further information, please Email:

QUOTE from Animal Concern, Cumbria:
"I would say to any rescue, if you are not using catchat, why not? There’s only one loser, the mogs, if you don’t."

About Our Free Rehoming Web Pages:

• Unique to your rescue: Your rehoming page is unique to your rescue group or shelter, headed up with your rescue's name, contact details and logo (if you have one).

• Got lots of cats to home? You can feature as many cats seeking homes on the page as you wish, including photos of each cat, if you have them available via your computer.

• Easy to update: The pages are easy to update yourself, just from your own web browser. No web design knowledge is required, and we supply simple instructions. However, if updating it yourself is a problem, we have a small volunteer Help Team who can help with your updates if needed. Please note, you will need to update your page regularly - the most up to date pages get the most homes offered!

• Publicise your rescue! If you wish, you can use the page to publicise other aspects of your rescue, i.e. items needed, fundraising events, cats needing sponsorship, volunteers needed etc.

• You have total control: You have complete control over all aspects of rehoming - we don't get involved in your rehoming procedures at all. Our job is to get your cats seen, to promote your page, and to direct more prospective new homes your way!

• We'll get your page seen! To maximise visitors to your page, we include active links through to your page from the relevant Cat Chat pages. We are very well indexed by Google and other major search engines, so your page WILL be found! Also, because of the way the pages are set up, after they've been 'live' for a short while, they will also be picked up individually by search engines. If you have a website of your own, you could also add a link on your website pointing to your Cat Chat rehoming page.

How Rehoming Pages Work:

• No hassle, and no cost: We set the page up for you, and host it and promote it on the Cat Chat Charity's web space, at no cost to you. All you do is input the cat's details... and wait for offers of homes to start coming in.

• Updating your page : You will need a volunteer to input cat's details to your page, on a regular basis, adding new cats on as required, and deleting cats once rehomed. The pages are most effective if at least four or five cats are featured, but experience has shown that the more cats that are shown, the more responses you'll get! (NB: if updating your page yourself is a problem, we have a small volunteer Help Team who can help with your updates if needed). To maximise the number of homes offered, your page must be updated regularly - ideally weekly or fortnightly, or at the very least monthly.  (To maintain our homing standards, Homing Pages are closely monitored, and we may remove pages which are not updated for 3 consecutive months).

• No special software needed: No special software is needed to update your page, all your volunteer will need is a connection to the web.

• Logins and 'How-to' : We provide you with a unique password to access your page, and full (easy) instructions.

• Test drive your page: You can test your page out until you are happy with it before it goes 'live'. We will not link it up until you are ready.

• Website? No Website? These pages are ideal for rescues who do not have their own web site, or who have a site but do not use it to feature cats seeking homes. However if you do use your own site to feature cats seeking homes, you can still have a Cat Chat homing page as well - doubling the chances of each cat featured!

Thank you so much for all the interest we have had via the internet since we set up on your site, a high percentage of our cats have been homed after people have seen them on Catchat. I don't always get the details through of exactly which cats were homed as a result of Catchat but I know it's a lot. Thanks very much, 
(Reading and District Cats Protection)

What a month! I can't believe how quickly our cats are finding new homes at the moment, it's absolutely brilliant. In the last week through Catchat we have rehomed 6 cats. What would we do without you! Thankyou from all at Oak Tree Farm and all our loved-up pussycats.

Then it was the turn of Lovealot quickly followed by his brothers Noshalot and Munchalot . This morning Lydia and Lark went off together and Purralot and Rascal are off in the next couple of days. Nine of our cats have really landed on their paws this week all thanks to your pages. Thankyou yet again. (Paws Inn Cat Rescue, Cheshire)

Just wanted to give you some feedback, I was helping at the Yorkshire Animal Shelter yesterday and even though our rehoming page has only been up since last week, they have had lots of people coming via your website. This is great news, more people and potential homes. (Yorkshire Animal Shelter)

Georgie has now been rehomed via our rehoming page. Benny has also got a home pending home check and Dusty is having someone coming up to see her next Sunday so hopefully she'll be rehomed as well. Dusty and Benny is via your rehoming page as well so it's really working. Thanks once again. (Flintshire Cat Rescue)

The Trust receives many referrals from your site, which is fantastic, and Cat Chat really does play a key part in the rehoming of our cats not only from London, but Tunbridge Wells and our Hastings branch too, and we can never thank you enough for that. You must be one of the top rehomers in the country, with all you do for all cat rescue centres all over, you must have helped home so very, very many cats which is a truly fantastic achievement, cats all over the country are purring contentedly in their new homes thanks to you. (Celia Hammond Animal Trust)

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for such a fantastic website. Since July when we added our first cats to it, we have had the best interest in our charity we have ever had, and rehomed many more cats than we usually do, and it's all down to your fab site! (Pets Alone, Stockport)

Dear Cat Chat, Once more we have homed another cat through our homing page. A family browsed through their internet, and after 2 hours decided on Merko, visited him yesterday, and I delivered him this morning. I only gave him a small breakfast ration so that he would REALLY like his new home and I'm sure he will settle with them - his empty pen is already spoken for by a little female. (Kingsdown Cat Sanctuary, Kent)
