Animal Lifeline: Meet Jasmine & Star

- 2 min read
Dogs and cats are the most kept pets in the UK, with approximately 15.5 million dogs (41% of all households own a dog) and 13 million pet cats (31% of households have a cat). Sadly not all dogs and cats have happy homes; some can be abandoned or lost, some need rehoming when owners can no longer care for them, and this is where the work of animal charities is vital. Cheadle & District Animal Welfare offers a broad range of services to animals and those looking to give a home to a new pet.
We caught up with Margaret Russell from the charity to find out more about their work.
Cheadle & District Animal Welfare Society is a small charity with a BIG heart. It is run entirely by volunteers and aims to help abandoned and unwanted cats as well as helping to rehome dogs who are no longer able to stay in their own homes. All the animals coming into care are vet checked, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and given worm and flea treatments before being put up for adoption. Any animals who come into care with an injury or medical condition are given veterinary care at Lime Trees Vets and ongoing veterinary care is provided for those who have long term medical conditions.
We have do not have our own premises but are very lucky to have 3 people who have built catteries at their own homes to accommodate the cats who come into care, while others are cared for in foster homes. We pay for the cats to have bed, breakfast and evening meals while they wait for their forever homes, which can sometimes take many weeks and even months, especially if the cats are black or black and white.
Currently waiting for that special someone to give them a home either together or separately are young black cats, Jasmine and Star (pictured above). They are not related but have become reasonably good friends. Both are black and were born in January 2026, they are neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. All they need is someone to love and care for them for the rest of their lives. Their new home MUST be one which is away from busy roads so that they have safe outdoor space to run around in and have fun.
If you would like to offer a home to either Jasmine or Star please call 01335 390369 or 01889 564045
