Second Chance - Hartlepool Cat Rescue

Second Chance - Hartlepool Cat Rescue A Hartlepool based cat rescue / cat adoption service. All adoptions are subject to an adoption fee.

Donations can be made by bank transfer to Second Chance, sort code 30-98-97, account 74094768 OR PayPal to [email protected] Second Chance (Previously We Help Hartlepool Animals) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping as many cats and kittens in the Hartlepool area as possible. We are a completely volunteer-run organisation and solely depend on peoples generosity. If you can d

onate anything to help us with upkeep for our cats and vet bills, please get in contact with us via our page. We did work very closely with the Teesside branch of Cats Protection, who were generous enough to help with our neutering costs. Last year (2021) alone the bill for them to neuter/spay Hartlepool cats (including owned ones) was over £50,000, and the problem is still far from solved. Hartlepool is one of the worst areas in the United Kingdom for overbreeding cats. We do our best to help as many cats as we can, including taking in stray cats, loved pets when their owners are no longer able to care for them, feral cats, and even managing to bring some feral cats to the point where they can also be placed in a loving home. Within the last year we have helped over 350 cats/kittens, and we still have a lot more to go. If you would like to donate funds to us for vet bills and food/litter to care for our cats, our bank details are:

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone who has helped in any way this last year, either by fundraising, donating, fostering cats, adopting or anything else which has helped us keep going and proving care and compassion for so many of our feline friends. 2025 has been much busier than ever before for us and we’ve been really stretched. We have a few poorly pusses still with us who are racking up the vet bills but due to our fab teams and the generosity of all our supporters we’re actually not heading into the new year deep in debt. We’ve been managing to clear most of our vet bills as we go. We’ve still been dealing with applications for cats (and vet visits) over the “holidays” so we haven’t even had a break. We’re going to go through all the applications tomorrow for Sweep, the gorgeous 15 year old cat whose owner sadly passed recently. Our aim is to place her ok all in a loving home that will fulfil all her needs. We also have several other older cats needing love so I’m hopeful we can find homes for them too. Here’s to a happy healthy one for all, and please help us help as many cats as possible in the coming year 🥂🍾

**pending**

Sweep is 15 years old, her owner has passed away and she is home alone in the house as the only family are unable to take her in due to allergies.

Sweep is neutered and in good health but obviously very disorientated and sad having lost her human, she has never lived with children or other cats but is used to visiting children.

Sweep is yet another cat completely out of our area (Darlington) but yet again EVERY rescue is full to the brim and turning cats away and so family have reached out further afield.

We are so aware that her age will put a lot of people off, we are not asking for any adoption fee for this lovely lady but very much hope we can help the family out with a new home as thats all we can do at this time.

If anyone can offer love and retirement please please please get in touch

******RESERVED*******

Stevie
Female approx 2 years old

Stevie came in to us with her 4 month old kittens and sadly heavily pregnant again giving birth to 7 more kittens.

Its absolutely Stevie's time to find her new furever home.

Stevie is a very polite cat, never in your face just patiently waiting for a chin rub and a picky up cuddle. She loves watching TV and adores human food (very much partial to a bit of cheese or sausage !) She is very confident though greeting any new person with sweet leg rubs and chirps

Stevie is still nursing her babies but is available to reserve now pending her neuter which we expect will be the end of January

Very sad news indeed hearing of the passing of Janey Cunningham who set up Yarm Cat Rescue. Lovely girl who I adopted from and volunteered for, and always friendly and helpful when I set up in cat rescue too. RIP lovely, bet there was a right welcome at the gate for you xx

CLOSED - we have literally had over 50 applications. These kittens need QUIET SAFE homes, not to be flung into the middle of a noisy family Xmas. All applications will be considered but preference given to what the kittens need - Top kitten already reserved. Two beautiful little girls and at bottom is black/white boy. All turn 8 weeks in a couple days. Loving homes wanted but PLEASE if you are having a "BUSY" Christmas holiday it will be too much for these little ones. They'll need somewhere it's going to be more quiet and sedate please.
