Harrogate Cat Rescue launches urgent funding appeal

Harrogate Cat Rescue has launched an urgent appeal for funding as it can no longer take in rescues until further notice.

In a post on its Facebook page, the centre said it was “bursting at the seams” with cats and kittens in rescue and no longer had space or funds to take more.

It added that it had 84 kittens which it had taken in  44 of which required neutering and vaccinating.

The rescue centre relies on adoption fees and financial donations to cover costs such as vet bills.

However, adoptions from the centre have been “extremely slow”.

It said in its post:

“The majority of our adoption requests are for young kittens, however, due to a lack of enquiries, a lot of the kittens (especially the black and white ones ) are growing up in care and becoming of an age that is not popular, taking up essential foster space needed to help those cats and kittens that desperately need it and using funds allocated for vets bills for their care.
“Your support over the last four years, has meant we have been able to give homes to over 800 cats and kittens.”


The centre, which was set up in 2020 by Celia Dakin, has appealed for donations as little as £1 a month.

It added:

“Small donations all add up and more of those will hopefully ensure we are never in this situation again.”
