How The Scratching Post Cat Rescue is Saving Lives and Spreading Joy

If you are a cat lover, you probably know how rewarding it is to adopt a furry friend and give them a loving home. But did you know that there are thousands of cats in need of rescue and care in the UK? That’s why I want to tell you about The Scratching Post Cat Rescue, a charity that is doing amazing work to help stray and feral cats in North London, East London, Essex and Hertfordshire.

The Scratching Post Cat Rescue was founded in 2005 by Susan Delaney, who started rescuing cats from her own home. Since then, the charity has grown to have two rescue centres, one in Waltham Abbey and one in Cheshunt, as well as a charity shop in Enfield. The charity relies solely on donations and volunteers, who help with feeding, cleaning, fostering, fundraising, and more13

The Scratching Post Cat Rescue takes in cats of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds, from kittens to seniors, from domestic to feral, from healthy to injured or sick. They provide them with veterinary care, vaccinations, neutering, microchipping, and most importantly, love and attention. They also work hard to find suitable homes for the cats, through their website4 and their Facebook page1, where they post photos and stories of the cats available for adoption.

The charity has helped thousands of cats over the years, and has received many positive feedbacks from the adopters, who share how their new companions have enriched their lives. Some of the success stories include:

  • Molly, a timid cat who was found living under a car, and who now enjoys cuddles and playtime with her new family.
  • Bertie, a handsome black and white cat who was rescued from a hoarding situation, and who now loves to explore and lounge in his new home.
  • Luna, a beautiful tortoiseshell cat who was abandoned by her previous owners, and who now has a best friend in her new sister, another rescue cat.

These are just some of the examples of how The Scratching Post Cat Rescue is making a difference for both cats and humans. If you want to support their work, you can do so in many ways, such as:

  • Adopting a cat from them, if you are looking for a new furry friend.
  • Donating money, food, litter, toys, or other items to the charity, either online or in person.
  • Volunteering your time and skills to help with the daily tasks or the events.
  • Spreading the word about the charity and their cats, by liking and sharing their posts on social media.

By doing any of these, you will be helping The Scratching Post Cat Rescue to continue their mission of saving lives and spreading joy. You will also be joining a community of cat lovers who share the same passion and compassion for these wonderful animals.

Thank you for reading this blog post, and I hope you will check out The Scratching Post Cat Rescue and see for yourself the great work they do. You can find more information on their website4 or their Facebook page1. And remember, adopt, don’t shop!

Have a Great Day and Remember Love Your Furry Friends
