twenty for 2020 campaign

To mark Cat Chat's 20th Anniversary, our 'Twenty for 2020' campaign aimed to find homes for the 20 most overlooked cats in the country.

In fact, our campaign helped find homes for many more than 20 overlooked cats over the year. Helped by the shares, tweets and posts by our wonderful supporters nationwide, 2020 turned into a terrific year for hundreds of long-stay cats who moved out of rescue care and into loving permanent new homes.

We are delighted to report that all of these very special campaign cats featured below are now living happily with their new owners and enjoying life to the full. What a super way to celebrate Cat Chat's 20th year!

Over 3 years in rescue

!! HOMED !!
Jenna had been in the care of Cat Action Trust 1977, Doncaster South branch for three years.

Jenna cat from Cat Action Trust 1977 Doncaster SouthThanks to your help Jenna has at last found her perfect home. An abandoned young mother, Jenna arrived into the rescue heavily pregnant. Young, pretty, friendly and playful, she was a terrific mum and her adorable kittens were soon adopted. But three years on and Jenna was still waiting in rescue... until she was spotted on Cat Chat and our Campaign!

Now, Jenna too has a place to finally call home. Her smitten new owner told us: "Jenna is now starting to feel at home and has claimed all toys and furniture as hers! Her new favourite position is draping herself over the sofa arm. She is a little sweetheart and is becoming more friendly every day. I got my first full on purr today, can't wait till she feels settled enough to fall asleep on my knee".

As part of Cat Chat's twentieth anniversary celebrations, all cats adopted from our campaign were homed with a parcel of goodies including HiLife Cat Food, a personalised cat collar from Kitty Collars and Feliway to help them adjust to their new life. All cats featured in the campaign were vet checked, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before adoption.

Our Twenty for 2020 campaign ran throughout the year (and into early 2021) and helped many cats like Jenna to find a new, loving and permanent home.

Highlighting the plight of the most overlooked cats in rescue to get them into homes is a great challenge but these cats deserve home comforts as much as any.

Keep up the fantastic work!”
