How you can help

Would you like to help us?

All details of our events are on our events page if you would like to help out at these.

​

We also raise awareness of animals through World Animal Day on 4 October each year and especially close to our heart, to promote the poor feral cats in the run up to Global Feral Day on 16 October. We introduced Feral Cat Month in 2014 and during this time we donated most of the cat food given to us to helping feed Feral / Community Cats. We are looking for help to promote this event every year, perhaps you could help raise awareness, collect food or let us know of cats that could benefit from this. Thank you from all the furries!   

 

 Daisy Day- 24 December - we are asking everyone to spare a few moments on this day each year to remember all the innocent animals killed in war.  

You can help animals by:

 

  • Taking responsibility for your own animal. If you are thinking of putting your animal up for rehoming - please think again. Animals will nearly always be better off in the home enviroment they are used to, rather in a Pound or Sanctuary.  

 

  • Keeping your pet in, keep it safe, as many animals go missing or get killed on the roads.

 

  • Not ignoring a stray animal if it turns up on your door - it's probably starving and in need of help. It's picked you for a reason - will you help it? Will you give it food? Can you give it shelter? And will you contact anyone to see if it is lost (eg council, vets, charities, neighbours, loal shops)?

 

  • Offering an animal a loving home.

 

  • Caring and treating your own pet, or indeed any animal, with love and respect. And please encourage others to do so too.

 

  • For us, these suggestions are the most important things you can do to help animals!

There are various ways to help 7th Heaven:

 

 We are currently looking for the following help:

 

- October is a very special month for 7th Heaven. This is the month that we raise awareness of animals. 4 October is World Animal Day. This global event is dedicated to raising awareness about the plight of animals throughout the world. 16 October is Global Feral Cat Day. This international event highlights the plight of these poor, unfortunate, unwanted, and for many, unloved animals. 7th Heaven's 'Feral Cat Month'event runs for the whole of October. We collect and donate a lot of pet food and provide shelters to feral or community cats during this period. We try to raise awareness during this time too.

Would you like to help promote any of these? This is not about raising funds, but helping raise awareness of all the animals who need our help & support.

 

- Safe permanent homes for feral or semi - feral cats and providing food - see Project WildCat 

 

- Help with trapping and neutering of feral cats - see Project WildCat 

 

If you are interested in helping, please contact us at animalrescuetrust@hotmail.com THANK YOU!

  • Donate pet food either for the Charity's own rescued animals or for our Pet Food Bank & Project Wildcat schemes- we have a Pet Food Bank Donation point are currently at Sainsbury's Forestside  

 

  • Sponsor a Long Term Resident or Enclosure - (see below) - this costs £50 a year and helps towards their food, treatments and ongoing care and support

​

  • Feed a Feral - this costs £10 and we will provide dry and wet food to the value of £10 to help a feral or community cat.

 

  • Sponsor a shelter (usually a Snug Kennel) for a feral or community cat £55 (even donate a small amount towards it) or donate a kennel

Sponsor an Enclosure 

By sponsoring an enclosure, you will be helping to provide each animal staying there with bedding, toys, treats and heating. We will provide the love and care that they need.

 

Poppy's story

My name is Poppy. I was pregnant & paralysed from being shot. 7th Heaven took me in, paid for the operation to remove the bullet and provide a nice, warm, safe enclosure where I could rear my beautiful babies, Peanut & Truffles. I have since successfully been rehomed. Now other animals with similarly sad stories will be staying in this enclosure. By being a sponsor, you will be helping them, until they too find a loving home 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sponsor a Long Term Resident

Whilst we would love to be able to rehome all the animals we rescue, realistically there may be some that may need to remain with us, for whatever reason, long term or for the rest of their days. We will provide them with all their home comforts, lots of love and any treatments they may require throughout. 

If you are interested in sponsoring an enclosure or Long Term Resident, it costs £50 a year. Please e-mail us to: animalrescuetrust@hotmail.com  or complete the Become a Friend below and send it to us

Sparky

This wee cat was one of a colony which were rescued from an abuse situation and is very nervous of others because of this. We did try to rehome her, but she got so upset being separated from Sam and Twinkle. She will remain with them in their forever oldie home with us.

An update on Ginge

We took Ginge in after his owner and his cats were evicted. The owner was ill so contacted us to take them in. When we went to collect him Ginge had all but given up, lying in the garden in heavy rain. He really wasn’t very well and was dehydrated. Our vet took care of him and carried out many tests. He is now being treated for hyperthyroidism and has a heart murmur and will need ongoing vet monitoring. It is likely he will remain with us, but at least he will have a warm home and plenty of food and loves snuggles. A big thank you to

Firmount vets for helping him get through these difficult times

Sam and Twinkle

These 2 cats came in from an abusive situation along with quite a few others from a 'hoarding' situation. They were all very ill and it took a long time for them to get back on their feet. They will have ongoing respiratory and eye problems. We have tried to rehome him and the people were brilliant, but they just would not settle and became  very agressive, which is so out of character as they are sweet but timid. We have accepted that they do not want to be separated and want to live out their lives here
