Catastrophes Cat Rescue🔒 Secure donation · Registered charity no. 1017304

Your gift is the difference between found and saved

Catastrophes takes in the cats nobody else will: injured, elderly, frightened, out of options. Your gift pays for the vet, the food, the warm bed, and the weeks of patience it takes before a cat trusts a person again.

  • What your gift does

  • £10Two weeks of food for a rescued cat
  • £20Feeds a rescued cat for a month
  • £40A course of painkillers for a cat in pain
  • £100A month of sanctuary care for one rescued cat

Catastrophes is a no-kill sanctuary in the Sussex countryside. No cat is turned away for being old, unwell or unfriendly, and no cat is put to sleep because it has waited too long. That promise is only possible because people give.

Add 25% at no extra cost

If you pay UK tax, tick the Gift Aid box when you donate. The government then adds 25p to every £1 you give, so a £40 gift becomes £50 for the cats. It costs you nothing.

Donations are processed securely by Stripe or PayPal. Catastrophes Cat Rescue is a registered charity in England and Wales, no. 1017304.

“Every cat deserves a tomorrow.”

What your gift pays for

The emergency

A cat found injured needs a vet the same day. The bill arrives long before the money to pay it does, and the decision cannot wait for a fundraiser.

The long recovery

Medication, clean bedding, food and warmth for as many weeks as it takes. Most of what a rescue spends is not the dramatic part.

The time it takes

A frightened cat needs someone to sit with it, day after day, until being near a person stops being terrifying. That is the work nobody funds, and it is the work that finds homes.

Give every month

A monthly gift is the steadiest kind of help there is. It is what lets the sanctuary say yes to a cat before anyone knows what the bill will come to, rather than waiting to see what comes in.

Other ways to give

You can send food, bedding and litter straight to the sanctuary through our Amazon wish list. If you would rather give by cheque or bank transfer, email Lizzie@CatastrophesCats.org and we will send you the details. Sharing an appeal with people you know costs nothing and genuinely works.

I wish I could afford a bigger donation, but I’ve been working very little because of illness. When my financial situation improve, I will increase the monthly amount. Thanks for caring x
