Rufus's Mission to save homeless cats, 19 April 2022
The cost of living crisis and the Coronavirus pandemic have severely impacted our fundraising efforts, so we need your help to carry on rehoming neglected, abused and abandoned cats and kittens rescued by the RSPCA.

Story

The Cat Hub's annual funding has been reduced by £10,000. We need your help to replace this, so we can carry on rehoming neglected, abused and abandoned cats and kittens rescued by the RSPCA. The Coronavirus pandemic has severely impacted the Cat Hub's fundraising efforts and slowed down rehoming. But despite the many restrictions and lockdowns, we rehomed 237 cats in 2020, making it one of the most successful cat rehoming centres in the country. Based near Darlington in the North East of England, the Cat Hub rehomes cats saved by the RSPCA across the Teesside, North Yorkshire, County Durham and Darlington areas. Its 20 pods are always full, with up to 30 cats and kittens, while our volunteer foster carers look after more in their own homes. Set up by local branches of the RSPCA to help reduce the number of abandoned, abused and neglected cats on the streets, it costs £75,000 a year to run the Cat Hub. Please do give what you can. Thank you!
