OUR BRANCH

The area covered by our branch is East Devon and borders of West Dorset, excluding Exeter and the EX14 post code area.  This means from Cullompton to Tytherleigh in the north, and from Budleigh Salterton to Lyme Regis in the south. A very wide coverage indeed.

 

 

 

FOSTER HOMES

The details on this page are changing day by day.

If you would like to adopt a cat, come and visit one of our foster homes, where you'll meet lots of cats and kittens looking for someone just like you.

We have several foster homes scattered around our district, as you can see on the map below.

All cats on this page have been inoculated, microchipped and neutered.
