  1. About us

About us

Yorkshire Cat Rescue exists to save the lives of abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens in Yorkshire and beyond. 

Our vision is a world where all cats and kittens have happy lives, free from harm and unnecessary suffering.

Our mission is to do the right thing for every cat that comes into our care. We help cats in need have a good life, and inspire everyone to treat them with the compassion and respect they deserve.

We provide all cats with food, love, shelter and the necessary veterinary care until they find a forever loving home. They are cared for by our many fosterers across Yorkshire or at our centre in Keighley.

All the cats in our care are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and given any other medical and behavioural treatment required before rehoming. We have a no-kill policy (unless recommended by vets due to quality of life). This means that we sometimes get chronically ill cats (or kittens) that can still lead a very good life (pretty much equal to any healthy cat) but have to have long-term medication and/or treatment. Any cat in our care will be cared for until we find him or her a home.
