Coast to Coast Cat Rescue is a newly formed registered charity organisation (CC60762) based in the Bay of Islands New Zealand. All donations and funds raised go straight back into helping the cats and kittens in our care. Run by a group of volunteers with many years of experience in the animal rescue area. Our objective is twofold:

• To minimise the impact an uncontrolled cat population has on the environment; both urban and rural by encouraging and educating on the need for responsible companion animal guardianship including de-sexing, vaccination and microchipping and;
• To provide shelter, care and rehoming for unwanted or stray cats and kittens.

Our survival as an organisation relies on our network of volunteer foster carers who assist in the provision of temporary homes whilst forever homes are found. Without these fosters CCCR would not exist. We are not a shelter and as such, we do not have a centralised location. All adoptions take place via an adoption application process or at adoption events, the aim being to find the purrfect match between human and feline. We believe that all breeds of cats deserve loving and caring homes and any medical care necessary to ensure the best possible quality of life, regardless of their age or condition. We work closely with local vets as well as other rescues to achieve this goal. We aim to implement youth education programmes as children and young people are the cat owners of the future. By building their understanding and knowledge of cat welfare can we make the world a better place for cats where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs.
