Cat Watch’s Mission is to provide sensitive care for the unowned cats of the locality – abandoned, lost, and street cats. We cover a 30 mile radius from Amesbury in Wiltshire and south Hants.
Mission Statement
Cat Watch was set up in August 2019 after 3 of my own cats came home injured. Cat Watch came into its own through Covid – in the early days of the pandemic there was no organisation caring for these cats locally, Cat Watch worked through the pandemic and never turned a cat away! Cats are taken in, given appropriate veterinary attention, neutered if not already, vaccinated, chipped and suitable new homes found.
From a few pens in the garden the organisation has come a long way in a short time. Charitable status was achieved, and a network of volunteer fosterers and helpers established. In collaboration with the Tisbury-based ‘International Cat Care’ (ICC) organisation Cat Watch has achieved iCatCare friendly rehoming centre status, and Marnie has the ICC course in shelter management. 6 Pedigree pens have been built to recognised welfare standards with the goal of turning our 2 older wooden pens into isolation pens once funds are raised for essential alterations.
Ongoing vision short-term is consolidation of the Cat Watch organisation with longer-term goals of education, aiming to reduce the number of cats needing Cat Watch care.
