retirement village
The Retirement Village is a unique facility that provides a wonderful retirement home for our more mature felines.
It was funded through donations and sponsorship and was built back in 2009. It comprises six homely chalets that can each house up to four cats, plus the ‘Moggies Mansion’ which, as the name suggests, is a spacious home where our villagers can mix and relax together whenever they choose.
The Retirement Village is the ‘purrfect’ place for our senior and super senior residents to enjoy their twilight years in comfort, with cuddles and fuss. They are monitored daily by our dedicated volunteer teams and Shelter Manager, weighed weekly to ensure there are no concerning weight losses and are seen as regularly as needed by the vets.
We have opened up our Village to some younger, but just as in need, cats. Some with life limiting conditions that mean they need constant care and medication, others who outside of our Village, wouldn't cope in a home setting and are too reliant on humans to become working cats.
Many of our Retirement Village residents are on long term medication and receive short term treatment including dentals as needed.
You can sponsor the Retirement Village for £60 a year.
In honour of our loved and lost cats who have lived with us on site, we now have a Memorial Page dedicated to them.
