Cats Protection Lifeline
Both Dogs Trust’s ‘Freedom’ and Cats Protection’s Lifeline are specialist temporary fostering service to support survivors of domestic abuse. We understand that pets can be a huge barrier for survivors wishing to flee from their perpetrator, they can be forced to decide between leaving their pets behind with the abuser or rehoming them permanently.
Our services offer temporary care for survivors’ cats/dogs whilst they flee to emergency temporary accommodation or refuge, with the view to return their pet to them once they are safely rehoused and back on their feet.
Both Freedom and Lifeline are completely free and confidential, with specialist teams ready to support owners. The pets are cared for in volunteer foster homes and supported by our organisations for the duration of around 6-9 months.
