Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

Stranraer & District Branch was formed in April 1999 and covers the whole of the county of Wigtownshire. The area covered is very sparsely populated by humans, but is very densely populated by cats, in towns as well as on the many farms.
* Rehoming - We assist in rehoming cats that can no longer be cared for by their owners. At the moment we have 6 volunteers who foster cats while they are waiting for a new home. We hope to have 2 new fosterers joining the team very soon. We are able to foster 17 cats at any one time in this area.
* Homechecking - All prospective adopters are subject to a home visit before adopting a cat. Often the fosterers themselves do this but, if they are unable to, then one of our other volunteers will pay you a call. We're all a very friendly group and it's to make sure the right cat goes to the right home. The fosterer, having got to know the cat's personality well, is best placed to match owner and cat.
* Neutering - We are very active in running a free neutering scheme in the Wigtownshire area. It is vital that cat colonies are controlled and we have worked tirelessly for years to do this. Large families of cats can lead to diseased and sick cats. If you cannot afford to neuter your cat or have not thought about it before, we are able to help. See our Feature page for more information on our neutering scheme.
* Farm cats - We trap and neuter feral or farm cats and, if possible, help with any feline problems. Postcodes covered: DG8, DG9
* Fundraising - We also organise fundraising events from time to time. This is not only to raise the ever needed money to keep our Branch running, but also to help raise our profile in this area. They are generally very enjoyable days and we meet lots of great people in the process. Anyone interested in joining our team of fundraisers, please see the Volunteer page.Fundraising.
