GET INVOLVED

Your time can change a life.

Share your time, open your home to a foster cat or bring your community together. There is more than one way to help animals find a second chance.

Volunteer

From practical jobs around the rescue to dog walking, our Formby charity shop and fundraising, reliable volunteers make a difference every day. Volunteers must be aged 18 or over, and roles are matched to experience and the needs of the rescue.

Foster

A quiet temporary home can give a cat or kitten extra comfort and individual care before adoption. Read about the experience, spare room, time and transport needed to become a foster carer.

Fundraise

Take on a challenge, organise a bake sale or get your school or workplace involved. Every donation and event helps provide food, veterinary treatment, shelter and ongoing care.

Plan a fundraiser

Bring your team together

Businesses and community groups can discuss a volunteer day, workplace fundraiser or practical support with the rescue. Contact the team before arranging a visit or activity so that your help can meet current needs.

Become a supporter

Give useful supplies

Pet food, bedding, towels and cleaning supplies can help with day-to-day animal care. Check which items the rescue can currently accept before organising a collection.

Donate goods
