I don’t have any time to spare but I want to help?\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0You can help in many ways, make a one off donation, sponsor a pet, donate some pet food….check out our ‘Support us<\/a>‘ page to see all the ways you can make a difference.<\/p>

How can I donate money?<\/strong> \u00a0If you wish to donate funds, please do it through our Wonderful page below\"\"<\/a><\/p>

Can I apply to rehome a pet if I have children?<\/strong> We are happy to consider all applications and will assess on an individual basis.<\/p>

I need help with neutering my pet, can you help?<\/strong> We encourage neutering and ensure all cats and dogs are microchipped before re-homing. If you need help with neutering your own animal, please request assistance by filling in our \u2018Neutering Assistance form\u2019 \"\"<\/a><\/p>

I need help with vet bills, can you help?<\/strong>\u00a0We will consider all requests. However, our funds are limited and we have to try to spread our help to as many animals as possible. If we cannot help, we may be able to put you in touch with other organisations who can.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/p>

I need to re-home my pet, who do I contact?\u00a0<\/strong>At Animal Samaritans, we believe in transparency, compassion & doing what\u2019s right? (especially when it\u2019s 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\u2019ve taken in as many as we can safely care for.<\/p>

At the same time, rehoming has slowed. This directly impacts our foster capacity, which is now completely full. 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 for any new agreed additions to that list.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

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.<\/p>

I only want to rehome a certain breed of cat? Can we choose?<\/strong>\u00a0 Because of the nature of animal rescue, we cannot predict what animals which may come to us looking for new forever homes. We will take your details and place an animal with you if we think you would be a good match. We carry out extensive home checks to ensure the cat is suitable for your living environments and situation.\u00a0 Fill in an adoption form below<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/p>

What happens if I don’t get along my my new rehome animal?<\/strong>\u00a0Animal Samaritans will always endeavour to take an animal back if the re-home is unsuccessful.<\/p>

Are the re-home animals FREE?<\/strong> No, we charge a small adoption fee to cover our costs, veterinary, worming..etc. This fee is put straight back into the funds to help the next animal that requires our assistance. Any adoption fee we receive for animals that are rehomed are is NON-REFUNDABLE.\u00a0<\/p>

What is the home check for?<\/strong>\u00a0We carry out home checks to make sure your home is suitable for one of our re-home animals to be safe and secure. We will advise you if we think changes need to be made to satisfy the requirements. Once these changes are made, we will be happy to place an animal with you.\u00a0<\/p>

Can I leave my animal with you when i go on holiday?<\/strong>\u00a0No we are not a kennels or pet boarding facility.<\/p>

I would like to foster animals for you. How do I apply? Please email us at \u00a0catteam.animalsamaritans@gmail.com<\/a> and <\/strong>we will direct your enquiry to the appropriate re-homing co-ordinator. Once we have had a chat and carried out a home check, we will discuss with you the fostering process. We are always looking for good foster homes.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
