Get in touch

Before contacting us

Peterborough Cat Rescue is run entirely by volunteers, and our cats and kittens are cared for in foster homes. We do not have a public rescue centre, and as foster spaces are often full, we may not always be able to help immediately.

Important Rescue Intake Update

We are very sorry, but Peterborough Cat Rescue is currently full and we are unable to take in any more cats at this time.

Our waiting list is also full, which means we are unable to add any further cats to it for the moment.

This is not a position we ever want to be in, but it is sadly the reality of rescue work at the moment. Like many rescues, we are under extreme pressure and doing everything we can with the space, foster homes and resources available to us.

Please understand that we are not ignoring requests for help. We simply cannot safely commit to taking in more cats than we have space for.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Interested in Fostering?

Fostering is at the heart of what we do. As a foster-based rescue, we rely on our amazing network of fosterers to care for cats until they find their forever homes. Without them, we simply couldn’t help as many cats in need.

If you're interested in becoming a fosterer, please visit our dedicated fostering page where you'll find more information and the application form. This goes directly to our fostering team:

If you have a general question about fostering, feel free to submit the form below and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Work Experience Enquiries

Thank you for your interest in gaining experience with us. As we are a foster-based rescue, we don’t have a physical shelter or central premises. All of our cat care takes place in the homes of our fosterers, which means we’re unable to offer formal work experience placements.

If you’re interested in supporting us in other ways, we’d love to hear from you. We sometimes need extra help at fundraising events and community activities, and volunteering for these can still be a great way to get involved.

For structured work experience opportunities, organisations such as Woodgreen may be better suited, as they have dedicated facilities and established programmes.

If you still have a question, please complete the form below and we’ll be happy to help.

General Enquiry

If you have a question or you're not sure which category to select, please feel free to fill out the form below and we’ll do our best to help.

Please note that we’re a small team of volunteers, so it may take a day or two for someone to get back to you. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

General queries are not sent to the adoption team and will be sent to other team members to review. If this is about an adoption you will need to ensure you have selected the appropriate query type at the begining of this form.

Donations

We’re very grateful for all donations, including food, supplies and fundraising support.

To make food donations easier, we have donation bins located around the area. You can visit our donation page using the button below, where you’ll find a map of our donation stations. Clicking a map pin will give you more information.
