Every stray deserves a warm lap to land on.
Since 2008 we've rescued, nursed and rehomed stray and abandoned cats across Northampton. Every penny you give goes straight to the cats in our care.

Born from a love of strays
The Stray Animal Fund (SAF Cat Rescue) was set up in 2008 by a team who met at the Animal Medical Centre, a veterinary practice in Northampton. We wanted to love, help and rehome stray cats — and that's where our story begins.
We take in cats who have been abandoned, lost, injured or simply have nowhere else to go. Every cat gets vet care, love and a safe place to stay while we find their perfect forever home.
We're fully volunteer-run and rely entirely on generous people like you to keep the food bowls full.
We'd love to hear from you
