Cat Abuse Treatment Society

Cat Abuse Treatment Society gained charitable status in 1989. Since then it has been run entirely by volunteers whose only reward is to see the cats happy and healthy. The cats are cared for using donations from our generous supporters along with any money raised at fundraising events organised by the trustees and volunteers.

The charity currently operates from a purpose built sanctuary at the rear of Jackie's own property. This allows her to carry out the day to day running of the sanctuary.All work is undertaken by volunteers who monitor the cats and tend to their needs.

The sanctuary itself consists of a number of chalets where each cat can have their own personal space. Central to these chalets are communal areas where the cats can eat, play or just watch the world go by. During the day the cats are also allowed out in the garden where they are free to play and explore.

In addition there is a separate area of the sanctuary accessible from the garden area that provides food and shelter for any of the local stray and feral cats. Some of these have befriended those at the sanctuary and even gone on to be successfully rehomed.
