The aim of Animal Samaritans is to provide care and shelter for unwanted, abandoned, neglected or ill-treated animals and to provide new homes for them wherever possible. We encourage neutering and ensure all cats and dogs are microchipped before re-homing. We do not have a rescue centre facility so we rely on our wonderful group of volunteers and fosterers.
Rehoming – We try to find new forever homes for as many pets as we can. We operate a non destruction policy and never put a healthy animal to sleep.
Financial Assistance – Whether it is an unexpected vet bills, assistance with micro-chipping or neutering, we will consider every application for help.

Temporary Closure of Our Cat Waiting List
At Animal Samaritans, we believe in transparency, compassion & doing what’s right? (especially when it’s difficult.) Over the past few weeks, our team has responded to an overwhelming number of urgent cases: kittens found abandoned, stray cats in extremely poor condition, & cats facing the risk of euthanasia. We’ve taken in as many as we can safely care for. At the same time, rehoming has slowed. This directly impacts our foster capacity, which is now completely full. As of today, we have made the very difficult decision to close our waiting list to new cats.
If your cat is already on the list, their place remains secure, but please be aware that the wait time is now estimated at 6 to 9 months. We understand how upsetting this news may be for those hoping to get help. It breaks our hearts too. We remain fully committed to the cats already in our care & will reopen the list as soon as we possibly can. Thank you for your understanding, your trust & your continued support. It means the world to us and to the cats who rely on our help.
With heartfelt thanks, The Animal Samaritans Team
