Shropshire Cat Rescue has plans for the future and we need your help to get there. The PURR (Plan for Ultimate Rescue Relocation) project is our £2m fundraising campaign. Over the past 30 years we have been caring for abandoned and unwanted pets in the region and in that time demand for our help and support has grown significantly. The reality is that we have now outgrown our current site and premises, and in order to help us continue our work we need to find a new home.

As well as caring for cats and kittens and rehoming them wherever we can, we want to expand and deliver new services so weve launched our PURR Project appeal to help us achieve our vision.

We aim to build a centre for our cats and kittens, which will include an educational visitor experience for our supporters to learn all about cats and their individual care needs from kitten to super senior.

We are looking to expand our reach to help champion senior and super senior cat care.

We will be expanding our education and community programmes to promote mutual well-being, understanding, and respect between people and animals. Whilst highlighting the importance of the human animal bond.

OUR NEW CENTRE WILL COMPRISE:

MORE RESCUE SHELTERS for cats to stay safe and warm in while they are waiting for new homes .

A BRAND NEW NURSERY to give the youngest cats the best possible start in life .

A BRAND NEW PET HOSPITAL to provide on-site treatment facilities for visiting vets .

NEW RETIREMENT VILLAGES for our adored elderly and disabled cats to live comfortable lives in their twilight years .

A NEW EDUCATION CENTRE to deliver pet welfare workshops and pet care classes for school children, Duke of Edinburgh and post-16 students, adults, other agencies and charities .
