Story

Our Lewisham rescue team receive on average 25 welfare and rescue calls a day. Most, if not all of these calls, heavily rely on the use of our vans. With just one active rescue vehicle left in operation in Lewisham, it is now near impossible for the team to respond to the amounturgent and emergency call outs; as such, we are simply not reaching animals in desperate need of our help.

With your support, we can quickly get back up and running and continue to save more cats in need. Quality vans are not cheap (even second hand ones) and we anticipate a spend of £5,000 per van to ensure reliability especially as much of our rescue work is carried out at night and in the early hours.

The vans need to be fit for purpose too, hosting space for cat carriers, and with air con to create a comfortable environment for the animals in transit. 

This is a huge, huge ask from our supporters. All donations will be gratefully received, moving us that one step closer to getting back on the road!
