Fostering

Become a Foster Carer

Fostering gives us the ability to save more cats—it is as simple as that. By opening your heart and your home, you provide a vital bridge between rescue and a cat’s forever home.

Whether you are a seasoned cat owner or a first-time carer, we work closely with you to ensure a perfect match.

• Tailored to You: Fostering can be as simple as providing food, water, and affection until a cat is homed. If you have more time to give, we also have cats that require a little extra patience and socialisation. We match our cats to your specific lifestyle and experience.
• Zero Cost to You: You provide the love, and we provide the rest. English Barn Cats-Lancashire covers all expenses, including food, litter, toys, blankets, and any necessary medication or veterinary treatment.
• Full Support: We will conduct a friendly home check to ensure you’re set up for success and offer ongoing guidance throughout your fostering journey.

Can you offer a temporary home to a cat in need?

Volunteering

Join Our Volunteer Team!

Rescue is a huge job that involves so much more than just fostering. We understand that not everyone is in a position to take a cat into their home, but there are plenty of other vital ways you can help the cats of Lancashire.

If you have a bit of spare time and a passion for animal welfare, we would love to hear from you! We are currently looking for volunteers to help with:

• Transport & Logistics: If you have access to a car, we need help collecting food and equipment donations from supporters who can’t get to us. We also need drivers for vet runs and delivering supplies to our foster carers.
• Scanning & Field Work: Help us reunite lost pets or identify strays. We can provide you with a microchip scanner and the training needed to help scan cats in the community.
• Events & Fundraising: Help us raise the vital funds needed for our operations. We need friendly faces to man our stalls at car boot sales, tombolas, and other in-person events.
• Trapping Support: Assist our experienced team in humanely trapping feral and stray cats for neutering and health checks.

Ready to make a difference? Please fill out our volunteer form to get started. Every hour you give helps a cat in need!
