Scotland: Cats Protection Lifeline, a specialist fostering service for people experiencing domestic abuse now launched in Scotland

Many refuges – including Moray Women’s Aid – are unable to take-in pets belonging to women & children fleeing domestic abuse. In addition to heartbreak for all involved (two- and four-legged), this can actually prevent people leaving their abusers. Perpetrators of domestic abuse often threaten pets as a way to maintain control over their victims.

The Cats Protection are launching LIFELINE - their specialist fostering service for people experiencing domestic abuse – in Scotland for the first time. 

Lifeline helps arrange a temporary, loving home for these superior creatures cats until their owners can be safely reunited again. All fostering expenses (including vet bills & food) are fully covered by Cats Protection. 

For more information about this service you can also lifeline@cats.org.uk or phone 0345 260 1280.

We recognise that the offer was well received by many, but there were aspects that have caused concern for some of our people that we must consider during the review announced by Secretary of State for Defence.
