We need homes for feral cats
We currently have 3 feral cats in a back garden that need rehoming urgently as new people are moving into the property and they are unwilling to allow them to stay. Please ask your friends, families and colleagues if they might know of a farm, stables, small holding, garden centre, microbreweries or anywhere else that might be suitable for them live. All cats will be neutered. We will provide pens to keep them contained for 4-6 weeks, and introductory food and litter. Although they will be independent and will pretty much look after themselves, they would need to be fed and watered and given shelter. Healthy cats make better mousers!
We are based near Hounslow, West London but willing to travel to home counties depending on distance.

Foster homes urgently needed
Please fill out our adoption form so that all your details will go on our system. Also a huge majority of our foster carers actually adopt the first cats we give them so this speeds up the adoption too! Just put that you’d like to foster in the ‘info’ field at the end of the form and send it to us. We will arrange for you to have a home visit. If you don’t hear from us within a week, please email us so that we can fast track your enquiry.
Please neuter your kittens!
The number of unwanted pets in our area is becoming endemic. HAWS have a strict non-destruction policy (no matter how old or how much medical help our cats may need) but that does mean that our resources are often overstretched.
One of the key reasons for the huge number of unwanted pets and strays is that people are not neutering them.
