It all started with a cat called
Mumma and her six tiny rebels 🥰
In the last 5 years, we’ve…
🐾 Found homes for over 2000 cats
💸 Spent over £,500,000 in vet fees
📅 Missed holidays, mended broken hearts
📂 Gone from paper-based chaos to fully digital
📋 Implemented policies and procedures to strengthen our rescue
🎓 Received training from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home
🤝 Joined the Association of Dogs & Cats Homes
🐆 Become specialists in hybrid breeds, rehab & rehoming of Bengals & Savannahs
🏅 Earned recognition as an ICC Cat Friendly Rehoming Shelter
We’ve made mistakes. We’ve learned. We’re still learning.
And we’re proud of every step, stumble, and triumph.
💚 Proud of our work with feral colonies and our TNR programme
💚 Proud to specialise in FIP treatment, hand-rearing neonates, and rehabilitating traumatised cats
💚 Proud to place the “unadoptables” in long-term foster homes
💚 Proud to offer palliative care to cats who need comfort, not time
💚 Proud to educate on viruses and illnesses that often go unseen
But most of all we’re proud of our resilient, hilarious, unstoppable team.
None of this would be possible without our volunteers.
You are the backbone of Cat Watch.
We laugh together, cry together, lift each other up, and fight for every cat.
💥 Special shout-out to our awesome Trustees:
Marissa B • Sue V • Lorna I • Beth G
You kick me up the arse when I need it, and pull me out of the gutter when I want to give up. Thank you.
To every volunteer—thank you for being wonderful, selfless, committed, and absolutely bloody marvellous. I don’t say it enough. You are everything.
To our supporters—your loyalty humbles us.
Your food, sponsorships, raffle madness, and donations keep us going.
Your passion pushes us forward. THANK YOU 💚
Here’s to the next 5 years… and our 10-year anniversary!
Because it all started with a cat called Mumma, and a handful of tiny kittens. 🐾
