Cats Protection Adel Branch now Feral Cat Welfare

Feral Cat Welfare was set up in March 2010 by two people who were volunteers of the Adel and District Branch of Cats Protection for many years until it was closed by the National Cat Centre in January 2010. They were concerned about what would become of the feral and stray cats that Adel Branch had been committed to supporting, those that had been neutered and returned to site with the promise of help with feeding and veterinary care should it be required. They were also concerned about the timid/​feral strays that are often turned away by others due to the length of time it takes to build up their trust and turn them into friendly, homeable pets.
Feral Cat Welfare does not have a shelter or main centre but relies on a network of fosterers who care for cats and kittens at their own homes until new homes can be found. They hope to raise enough funds over a period of time to create a permanent refuge for such cats so that they can be helped quickly and numbers do not increase. The volunteers of FCW love all cats, the friendly and the nervous, and tune in to every cat’s individual needs. FCW will always have tame, friendly and affectionate cats to rehome and on their waiting list as well as timid and traumatized cats and kittens.
