    CAT ACTION TRUST 

    The charity works through a branch network to help feral cats by neutering colonies,relocating them when they are unwanted, providing veterinary treatment for sick or injured feral cats and rehoming kittens and tameable cats to domestic homes. It does not destroy them, as it considers this to be an ineffective and inhumane method of tackling the problem

    Established: 27 years
