For these pieces, at least 15% of our profit from the selected cat collections will go straight to the charities they’re linked to – helping to pay for food, vet care and a safe place to curl up and sleep.
How Your Cat Charms Help
When you buy from our cat collection:
- Help fund lifesaving vet care for poorly, injured and neglected cats
- Keep rescue cats fed, warm and safe while they wait for their forever homes
- Power small, volunteer-run rescues that survive on kindness, not big budgets
It’s a small, everyday way to be kind – and to carry a little reminder of that kindness with you.
Black Cat Rescue – North Yorkshire
Black Cat Rescue is a small, home-run rescue near Selby, Yorkshire. Founded and led by Jackie, it’s been quietly taking in unwanted, abandoned and stray cats for many years, rehoming hundreds of cats and kittens in that time.
Some of the cats in their care are long-stay residents: former ferals, nervous cats or those with extra needs who need more time, patience and support. Many arrive as mums with kittens, often after having litter after litter outdoors or in unsafe conditions.
The rescue steps in to:
- Give them safe shelter and proper vet care
- Break the cycle with neutering
- Gently socialise shy and scared cats so they can find loving homes
Black cats in particular are often overlooked simply because of their colour – something Jackie works hard to challenge. Your Black Cat Rescue charms help this little rescue keep saying “yes” to the cats others might walk past.
Henry’s Haven Cat Rescue – West Yorkshire
Henry’s Haven Cat Rescue is a foster-based, independent rescue run entirely by volunteers in and around West Yorkshire. Instead of a central shelter, cats are cared for in people’s homes, giving them warmth, comfort and the chance to learn to trust again.
The team focuses on:
- Strays and abandoned cats on the streets
- Injured cats needing urgent treatment and surgery
- Mums and kittens trying to survive outdoors
They cover everything from neutering, microchipping and vaccinations to complex surgeries for seriously injured cats, and they’re constantly fundraising to keep up with rising vet bills.
When you choose a charm that supports Henry’s Haven, you’re helping pay for those life-saving vet appointments, full food bowls and soft blankets for cats who’ve had a rough start.
Why We Chose Small, Local Rescues
We love working with smaller, community rescues because:
- Your money goes straight into front-line care
- You’re supporting real people and volunteers who give up their spare time and homes
- Even a modest donation makes a noticeable difference
It fits perfectly with who we are as a small, crafty UK brand: doing things on a human scale, with a lot of heart.
