About Feline Network
Based in South Devon, Feline Network has been helping cats both locally and across the UK for 13 years. As a cat charity, our main aim is to aid and rescue cats in need, but where we may differ from similar charities is in our belief that we can help more together than we can do apart. It was that philosophy that lead Debbie Johnson, our Founder, to create Feline Network in 2009. Now, not only can we rescue and rehome cats ourselves, but by working with other charities around the UK, we're able to go above and beyond to help our feline friends. It is our network of unity that both sets us apart and brings us closer together.
We are a not-for-profit national registered cat rescue group set up and run by volunteers. Our primary aim is to help and rescue cats throughout Devon and the UK. We were established in 2009 in Paignton in Devon. We have Mr Kevin Foster MP and the author Chris Pascoe as our patrons.
Our Mission Statement
We are a not-for-profit national registered cat rescue group set up and run by volunteers. Our primary aim is to help and rescue cats throughout Devon and the UK. We were established in 2009 in Paignton in Devon. We have Mr Kevin Foster MP and the author Chris Pascoe as our patrons. We rescue and care for ill-treated, unwanted, abandoned and stray domestic and feral cats and kittens, all of whom are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and treated for fleas and worms, all seen by a vet prior to being offered for re-homing. We are a ‘no kill’ organisation. If a cat is considered ‘unhomeable’ due to age, temperament or a health condition we seek to keep that cat in foster care for the duration of its life. We only euthanise cats when there is no other option and only on a vet’s advice. This includes FIV+ cats. We have a Sponsored Cat scheme to partly fund these cats. All prospective new owners will be subject to a home visit, undertaken by one of our volunteers. They will also be invited to view the cat/s of their choice at the home of the fosterer, by mutual appointment. We aim to match the cat and family in a responsible fashion. We also offer full lifetime back up for cats. We expect those not owning their own properties to have written permission to keep a pet.
