Her interest in cat rescue began when she assisted her daughter in her voluntary work at the RSPCA in 2005 before moving to the local pound in 2008. It was while volunteering in the pound that she saw the large numbers of kittens, pregnant cats and nursing mother cats that were surrendered or abandoned at the pound. They were often the first to be euthanised because there were so many of them and they were often viewed as competition for the cats looking for a home.
Since incorporation in 2010, Peninsula Cat Rescue has been responsible for rehoming thousands of cats and kittens (all desexed) who would otherwise have ended up as euthanasia statistics.ver menos
