ARC - Anna’s Rescue Centre

We've had 4 rescue cats from ARC, all of which we took in because they were slightly higher needs (all FIV+ street cats) as we wanted to give harder to adopt cats a loving home. ARC is has a no-kill policy, which we really respect. Had our boys ended up at any other rescue they may have been euthanised instead of being adopted out, and they've made incredible pets. Anna and her team has provided so much incredible support and advice, which has continued on long after the cats have settled into our home. ARC genuinely care about cats - they do amazing work and really have cats' best interests at heart. I can't recommend them enough.

We got our beautiful boys Frankie and Freddie from ARC as 8 week old kittens. We were first time cat parents and Anna and the team were on hand to answer all our queries and give any advice when necessary both before and after we had the kittens. Anna took the time to speak with me about what kittens would be suitable for us and after our chat/home tour we were matched with Frankie & Freddie and they were ready to be picked up the following day! We cannot thank Anna enough for giving us our beautiful babies. We just wish we could adopt more! The kittens get complimented by everyone that meets them and are the best pets anyone could wish for. Thank you Anna and team - hopefully we will be able to adopt an older cat once our two are out of their hyper baby stage! X

We would highly recommend Anna’s rescue centre after adopting an older cat. She is adorable and the communication,love and care plus professional service we received was fantastic-amazingly they didn’t charge for an older cat plus Holly needs regular medication and it’s all paid for and provided through the centre -I would encourage anyone to chat to the team and consider adopting an older cat she has bought so much happiness to our home and it’s incredibly rewarding. We realise this comes at a high cost and so I know they are grateful for every bit of support so let’s donate when we can. Thanks Anna keep up the good work x

Got in touch wanting to adopt an older cat, couldn’t have been more accommodating. Matched us perfectly with our cat and wouldn’t go anywhere else in future!

We had been keeping an eye on Anna's cat rescue knowing we wanted to adopt two cats and I have to say the rescue has really impressed us. They did a sensible screening of us before they allowed us to adopt, they gave us a wealth of information to get us started and they have been very helpful in getting them chipped/spayed when the time comes. We ended up with two beautiful little kittens who have very obviously been well loved and cared for by their foster family. We feel very lucky and very grateful to the rescue, we will continue giving a small donation each month and hope others consider doing the same!

I found out about Anna's Rescue from a colleague at work. Being a life long cat owner I was missing having a multiple cat household but wanted to have a kitten, with my age being that if I left it much longer I would be getting too old.Anna was so lovely and helpful and after the virtual home visit I was invited to see who needed a new forever home. To my delight there were two kitten sisters waiting for their home with me.They had been very well cared for whilst in the care of Anna and her volunteers and I was sent home with my two little bundles.Initially they were quiet which gave my older cat time to adjust. Now, after a few weeks they are thriving, charging around and enjoying the comforts of a home where they will be loved forever.

We adopted our lovely two kitties from Anna's ARC and they were very informative, communication was great, and they were also able to give advice on the pet's care and answer any queries we had even after we took them home. Anna and her team do amazing work and we are so grateful to have our two babies now from them. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to re-home a new feline friend, thanks again xxx

We had Sooty from Anna on 27th August, even though we have 2 all black & 1 all white cats (all rescued) we went to adopt because Anna had posted on FB that she had lots of kittens/cats for adoption, but that nobody wants black kittens. I don't know why, because, in my opinion ALL cats are lovely, rescue cats always seem to be more loving. Our black beauties are so loveable, as is the white one. Sooty was 16 wks old & we thought about having a 8 wk old. After chatting about us & our cats, Anna thought that Sooty would fit in great with us & our Yorkie Molly. When we got him home, he was slightly nervous, as you'd expect, but he was also very confident, nosey, friendly & wanted to make friends straight away. He has really settled in & we really love him so much, he is so loving. He is very clean, so Anna had done a great job of training him. Anna is a lovely lady who cares passionately about her cats & asks many questions, so that her cats/kittens go to a good loving & caring home. Also, to try & match you up with your perfect little friend. Anna works very hard to look after all the animals that are brought to her & when we went in to see the cats, we wanted them all! The place is lovely, clean & they have lots of climbing frames, beds, toys etc. If you adopt one off Anna, they are all neutered, microchipped & flea treated. I don't know if the prices vary, but ours was £70 which is an absolute bargain! Someone was asking £100 the other day, without treatment, neutering etc. I actually gave Anna £100 (I hope she don't mind me saying) because she does such a great job I felt she deserved it, she was putting it toward neutering or flea treatment as all those things cost so much money.So, if you are reading these reviews, I take it you are looking to adopt, well look no further. So many are brought to Anna, that may have been 'dumped' no longer wanted, ill treated,whatever the excuse & there is no excuse, Anna will do her very best to help them, so please help Anna & adopt, adopt adopt.

After losing my precious elderly cats last year and after doing some research about different cat charities I contacted Anna’s Arc Rescue about possibly adopting a cat. Anna promptly did a video home check and asked various questions about what we were looking for and my experience with cats etc.I was invited to take a look at two brothers who had not had the best start in life to say the least before being rescued by Anna’s Arc. Anna reassured me that she would be there to help with any problems along the way too and went above and beyond my expectations, her support was second to none, amazing. I don’t think I’ve met anyone who knows more about cats and her passion to find forever homes for all cats in her care is clearly her life’s work!After 8 weeks of patience, gentle care, love and forming a solid routine with these delicate brothers, Marco and Polo are now very happy, content and extremely funny, loving boys.I can’t thank Anna enough for matching us with this beautiful duo. Anna and all the staff do an amazing job. Thank you again Sharon xx

Just over 2 months ago after having hassle with a different animal rescue, we found ARC and were so glad we did. Anna was very quick to respond and asked a bunch of great questions to see if we were suitable adopters/what type of cat would be well suited. Anna listened to exactly what we wanted and when we went to the cattery, we were not disappointed! We were spoilt for choice between 2 (well my partner was I was dead set on one) where we walked out with our new family member, Misty! Anna gave us a few bits to get us going and if we had any issues or questions, Anna pretty much replied back straight away always helping! We couldn't ask for anyone better to go through the adoption process and picking out our perfect little lady! Thank you again Anna!P.S I've never known a cat to like belly rubs before!
