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.

You have the #RightToAsk.

If you’re concerned for your safety or someone else’s, you can ask confidentially about a partner’s history.

Where we have information that a person may be at risk of harm from domestic abuse by their partner, we have the power to tell them.

Reporting your concerns about someone being at risk of domestic abuse could save a life.
