Rachel's KittyCat Rescue

Rachel’s KittyCat Rescue is a registered charity (CC54963) with HQ based in Upper Hutt. Our passion is the care desexing, socialisation and adoption of stray, wild and abandoned cats across the wider Wellington region, with a focus on the Hutt Valley.

We work with locals in the community to help strays, wild-born and orphaned kittens, and feral cats. We loan traps to help people catch and desex feral cats on their property, socialise feral kittens and cats and find them loving homes, and provide information and support for those looking for a lost cat. We help owned cats by desexing the mum cat for free in return for the surrender of the kittens, that we then desex, vaccinate, and microchip before finding good homes.

We TNR (trap, neuter, return) small populations of wild cats. Studies have conclusively shown that this is the most effective way to reduce the population, and by desexing, FIV testing, and vaccinating wild cats we can keep the population stable, healthy, and low numbers, while preventing an explosion of rats, mice and rabbits.

In 2023 we helped xxx kittens and cats and we’re already on track to surpass that number in 2024. Every single dollar donated truly does make a difference in our mission.

Thank you in advance for your support.
