Canterbury Cat Society is a small, independent charity dedicated to cat welfare. It was established over 60 years ago.
Since January 1996 cats have been housed in chalets in a garden in North Canterbury.
Priority is given to sick, stray and ill-treated cats which are all examined by a vet, tested for F.I.V. and Feline Leukaemia Virus, treated for injuries or infections and neutered if appropriate. Some with disabilities are given permanent shelter.
Accommodation and standards of care are outstanding and because this is a small enterprise we are able to get to know each cat individually and find the most appropriate home. We are also able to provide round the clock care and have a wealth of knowledge and experience of cat needs and behaviour.
Each pen has a full height, heated indoor area, as well as access via a cat flap to an outdoor play area. Cats are only ever kept in "family" groups to prevent the spread of infection and reduce stress caused by too close proximity to other cats.
Only a handful of cats have been returned since we opened our sanctuary and we are always on hand to support those who re-home cats from us.

NEUTERING
Sadly, there are thousands of homeless cats so we strongly recommend neutering. Neutered cats are far less likely to catch F.I.V. (cat aids) and don't usually roam far.
If you are on a low income we can help with the cost. Kittens can be neutered at four months of age (females can become pregnant then!)
