Portsmouth · Volunteer-run · Est. 2013
We're a small team of Portsmouth volunteers dedicated to the welfare of cats — scanning for microchips at all hours to reunite lost cats with their owners, and finding safe new homes for those who need one.
100% run by volunteers
How it works
Cats go missing all the time in Portsmouth — most just need someone to check them for a chip. Here's what happens when you call us.
Someone spots a cat that looks lost, or a much-loved cat goes missing from home. Either way, get in touch with us.
One of our volunteers scans the cat for a microchip — any hour of the day or night — to trace an owner.
Chipped cats are back home fast. Unclaimed cats are cared for in our foster cabins until we find them a loving new home.
