Dorset Rescue Cats

18/06/2026

We get through several bottles of vet safe cleaning spray every day (keeping the little ones safe). This is the main one we use mixed with their parvo cleaner … as it makes numerous bottles from just one bottle of concentrate. We have enough parvo cleaner but are almost completely out of the Supa Clean. Please can someone order us some from out Amazon gift list ASAP 🙏

You can also donate to our PayPal or if you are local and have vet grade cleaning solution that we can collect that would also be great (if can be a different brand if you already have some) x

🛍️ CAN YOU SELL FOR DORSET RESCUE CATS? 🐾

We’re looking for volunteers who would be willing to help turn unwanted items into vital funds for the cats in our care.

There are lots of ways you can help:

🚗 Sell items at car boot sales

💻 Sell items online through platforms such as Facebook Marketplace, Vinted or eBay

📦 Take a bundle of donated items from us to sell

🏡 Sell your own unwanted items and donate a percentage (or all!) of the proceeds

🛍️ Collect items from friends, family, neighbours or local community groups to sell for Dorset Rescue Cats

🎪 Run your own fundraising sale or stall

We can provide items to sell and even have Dorset Rescue Cats banners available for volunteers attending car boot sales.

We’re also launching our new community buy, sell and donate group:
🐾 Turn Clutter into Cat Care – Dorset Rescue Cats 🐾

Whether you sell one item a month or run regular car boot sales, every penny raised helps provide food, litter, veterinary care and second chances for rescue cats.

If you’d like to get involved, comment below or send us a message ❤️🐾

🏠 STORAGE SPACE NEEDED 🐾

As a small independent rescue, we rely heavily on donated items to help raise funds for the cats in our care.

We are looking for safe, dry storage space anywhere in Dorset for donations that can be sold to raise vital funds.

This could be:

🏠 A spare room

🚪 A garage

🛖 A shed

🔐 A lock-up

📦 Storage unit space

The space doesn’t need to be huge and we’d be happy to consider short-term or long-term options.

The items stored may include:

🛏️ Cat beds, cat trees, carriers and pet supplies

👕 Clothing, shoes and accessories

🏺 Household items, bric-a-brac and homeware

📚 Books, games and other saleable donations

These items help generate much-needed income through fundraising, car boot sales and other fundraising activities, helping us provide food, litter, veterinary care and everything else our rescue cats need.

If you have space you may be able to offer, please send us a message with:

📍 Your location

📦 The type of space available

📏 An idea of the size

📅 Whether it would be short-term or long-term

Thank you for helping us turn unwanted items into food, care and second chances for cats in need ❤️🐾

📦 Could you become a Dorset Rescue Cats Collection Point? 🐾

We’re looking to build a network of collection points across Dorset to make donating easier for supporters and collections more efficient for our volunteers.

What does that involve?

🏠 Allowing local supporters to drop off donations such as cat food, raw food, litter, toys, bedding, carriers, cat trees and other items.

📦 Accepting occasional deliveries on our behalf.

❄️ A huge bonus would be freezer space for raw food deliveries. Our cats are primarily raw fed and buying in bulk is often far more cost effective. Some deliveries can be up to 100kg at a time, so having several freezer collection points around Dorset would make a huge difference (we would also have smaller amounts donated by local supporters - so even just one freezer draw is a big help)

🚲 Having multiple collection points means donations can be gathered in one trip by me or our eco courier, rather than making lots of separate journeys. This saves time, fuel and my already limited energy 🙈

You don’t need to do everything. Even being able to help with one part of the above could make a real difference.

If you think you may be able to help, please comment or message us with:

📍 Where in Dorset you are

📦 Whether you can accept small and/or larger donations

🚚 Whether you can accept deliveries

❄️ Whether you have freezer space available (if so how much)

🏡 Whether supporters could drop donations to you, times you can accept donations/deliveries, and if you would like contacting before drop off (how people should reach you).

Thank you for helping us help more cats across Dorset ❤️🐾

A gentle reminder when posting in worldwide groups…

If you’re looking to adopt, please include your location 😹

Without it, you might get recommendations from Texas, Australia, Germany, Canada, South Africa and Dorset all at the same time!

Help rescues help you by telling people where in the world you are 🌍🐾

Please note: This doesn’t just relate to cat adoptions … I’ve seen probably 100 location specific posts (with no location) just today 🙈

This might look like a funny image 🙈

The truth is, it isn’t far from reality. Right now, that’s genuinely how I have to get a full litter tray out of the kitten room because the door won’t open properly!

But while this risk is comical, the reality facing animal rescues isn’t.

Every day, rescues are forced to take risks because there simply aren’t enough donations coming in to cover what the animals need 😿

Please donate what you can, so that balancing a litter tray above my head is the only risk we have to take 🙏

2 minutes I was gone 🙈🙈🙈

We saw that needed biscuits (and ours don’t have them) so as about to see if she wanted a bag … but in the 2 minutes I was gone Han ripped the bag open … so now they can’t be donated (just incase). dw they won’t be wasted just can’t do to the foster cats.

We are desperately in need of suitable food ourselves if anyone is able to donate so we can order some (or order from zooplus or our Amazon gift list) - links in bio

Poppy’s also have a gift lift
