To relieve the suffering of cats in need of care and protection: in particular, but not exclusively through rehoming of stray, neglected and unwanted cats in Wansbeck and Blyth Valley. To educate the general public, including the promotion and encouragement of owners to have their cats neutered to prevent the birth of unwanted kittens. We know the problems in the North and the ever-increasing cruelty suffered by cats and kittens in our area.
