Meet the Cat Rescues and Charities attending Hope Alley at The Cat Show Live 2026. These dedicated teams are on the front line every day – rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming cats who need it most.

Discover how you can support them – whether that’s through adoption, fostering, volunteering, or spreading the word. For visitors looking to connect with rescues closer to home, our Rescue Directory makes it easy to explore and get in touch with local organisations all year round.

Hope Alley is proudly sponsored by Ever Clean, supporting our shared mission to champion rescue, welfare, and a better future for cats everywhere.

There really is an owner out there for every cat. All of our cats come with a lifetime rescue back up. This means that at any time of the cats life, if your circumstances were to change and you could not take care of the cat any longer, we would always welcome the cat back under our care and rescue.
