Who are we ?

The Heatons Animal Rescue Group is a charity run by dedicated workers who for many years have given their time and effort to help animals in need in any way possible.We have a charity shop in Heaton Chapel, Stockport and above this is our cat sanctuary. At the moment we only deal with cats and kittens as the sanctuary is unsuitable for dogs but we hope to expand in the future. Unlike some societies we do not take into account age, condition or cost of treatment when rescuing the animals.

Recent News.

We are currently building our long awaited extension. The single story extension to the rear of our existing building will be our new cat sanctuary.

How you can help.

We welcome donations of good quality bric a brac, clothes etc to sell in our shop.

Can you help out for a few hours a week on a regular basis in our shop? We always need dedicated people to help us. Call Julie on 0161 975 0784 for more information.

Could you rehome one of our animals? If you have a suitable home (and lap) to offer please take a look below at the cats we have currently seeking homes.

( Coming soon, our little success stories, pictures etc of cats we have recently rehomed ).

Rehoming policy
Homing takes place on Saturday afternoons only, from 2pm to 5:00pm.

Bob, Julie, Sam and Abi are the homing officers & will help you to find the perfect cat/kitten for you. We ask that you read the list below thoroughly, before visiting us.

1. If you are looking for a kitten, please ring the sanctuary first (0161 975 0784), as we do not always have them. (Not necessary if you want an adult cat.)

2. Please do not arrive prior to 2pm. (The cattery is above our charity shop & people who arrive early & insist on waiting cause congestion in the shop which puts shoppers off & as a result we lose money that is much needed for the cats.)

3. You will need to bring two forms of identification with you, one with an address e.g. household bill, and one with a signature e.g. driving licence. Please do not be offended if we need to do a home-check.

4. Children are welcome to visit the cattery but must be quiet, well behaved & accompanied by an adult.

5. Please be patient as you may have to wait in line for your turn to view the cats/kittens.

6. Take your time choosing and feel free to ask Bob or Sam any questions you may have. Cats live for 20+years & whichever cat you choose will become a member of your family so you must be sure. If you are not sure, you are welcome to come back again & again until you are.

7. We only home neutered adult cats & ask people taking kittens to sign a declaration that they will have the kitten neutered at 6 months of age.

8. We ask for a minimum donation of £40 per cat/kitten, this includes 6 weeks FREE cat insurance with PET PLAN.

9. We sell food, beds, carriers, litter trays, litter etc. (Cats will only be allowed out of the sanctuary in secure carriers. Cardboard boxes etc are not appropriate). We can also micro-chip your cat/kitten (dependant on age/size of kitten) at a cost of £12.

10. If you wish to reserve an adult cat (only possible after viewing cat) we ask for a 10 pound deposit. And please note that we CANNOT RESERVE KITTENS.

We forward to seeing you sometime soon.
