Feline Welfare also actively tries to control the feral population on the island through a Trap, Neuter and Return scheme.

A home visit is carried out to all potential homes, and a follow up visit at a later date. Cats are only rehomed where there is catflap access into the house. Viewing is by appointment only.

Rescuing abandoned cats and kittens, and caring for them in volunteer foster homes until they can be rehomed. Pound Puppy Rescue can also be contacted as below - these are '8th day' dogs rescued in the nick of time before being put to sleep. So if you are seeking a canine companion, please give them a call, you will be saving another 8th day dog by doing so.
