Our Mission
Our charity is based on the belief that all animals deserve a loving and comfortable home and meeting these needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to getting results for the animals in our care and we all work towards the goal of creating a loving environment, whether in our care or in their new homes, our charity aims to promote health and well being in all the animals we care for.
This is one fabulous caring and devoted rescue team. Their devotion towards saving lives of many many cats and kittens is above and beyond. They are one amazing team and such wonderful people. If I wrote down all the amazing rescues they have done and all the hard work looking after the cattery and charity shop that funds food/vets etc I would still be sitting here writing next week as there is so much great work that they do.

Our History
Animal Aid was founded in 1990 by Susan Geeleher and Kay Sheridan and was granted charitable status in September 1990 by the Charity Commission, registered charity no 1143133. Its main aims are to rescue abused and abandoned cats and to offer them a safe environment with any medical care that the animals require.
At first we rented 6 units from private boarding kennels in Melling; we eventually were able to rent all the units and build a cattery. As the volunteer base grew, in 1992 we were offered a piece of land in Field Lane, Fazakerley at a peppercorn rent and we were able to build 12 kennels, a large cattery and a small administration unit.
In order to fund these activities we opened our charity shop on County Road, Walton, Liverpool in 1995. Unfortunately after 3 years at Field Lane, the owner sold the land for redevelopment and we had to move out. The cats are now housed in a purpose built cattery.We ensure that any person wishing to adopt any of our animals has the necessary home checks to ensure a safe and loving environment before adoption is agreed.
The Charity relies on donations from the public and the income from the shop which is staffed entirely by volunteers - without their help we would not be able to function.
