  The rescue centre is in a lovely area, very quiet and rural for the animals and it felt safe. I was taken in to meet the cats which were able to live with dogs and child friendly as requested ; the volunteer who took me around was organised and knew which cats were available. I was able to spend some time with each cat before I made a decision. The volunteer chatted to me and I felt comfortable to ask questions.
  
  The cats all had clean homes, food and water, toys and bedding, access to fresh air and there were plenty of volunteers to give the cats attention. I thought it would be sad seeing cats in a rescue home but they all looked well cared for which reassured me.
  
  I was given a detailed adoption pack and the manager went through the details with me so I felt well informed. I was told I could contact them with any questions or issues after I took the cat home. Very happy with the centre and service 👍🏻

  The staff are great and very caring towards the animals. The pens were clean and looked after as were the cats and kittens. They were very efficient and told us all the information we needed. The address directions were correct when put into google maps but the rescue centre is down a single lane dirt road which isn't a problem at all but it isn't sign posted as far as we saw. Little arrows or signs with the logo would have made us feel more comfortable as it kind of felt like you were going down someone's drive.

  We adopted our little pensioner James in March. He had been taken in by YCR and given extensive (and expensive) dental treatment which made his life a lot easier. He was very well cared for by the staff and volunteers who all loved to visit his pen (with under floor heating!) for a cuddle. He settled straight into home life and is well loved. The manager made it clear that if we had any issues at all we could contact them to discuss. He was snipped, chipped, vaccinated, wormed and flea'd. We were given a collar and tag, a voucher for good quality food, and a months free cover with PetPlan - who will cover an older cat from a rescue centre.
  For those who have trouble locating the centre, use the postcode of the street directly opposite - BD22 9AB. The turn you need to make is very sharp and is a steep sloping track.
  I would have no hesitation in recommending Yorkshire Cat Rescue, they care about what they do and it shows in their animals.

  I would say this was a positive experience , cats kittens respected and obviously we'll looked after and cared for by staff, who showed great care and concern,,we came away with a lovely cat in fact we could have come away with so many of them! Cats appeared settled and clean , manager very nice, and helpful and obviously into her cats , as was every staff member, volunteers that we met there.
  I would definitely recommend this rehoming centre
  P.s.Check directions as it can be a bit tricky to find

  Staff were friendly and helpful and the process was quick and efficient, but we still had plenty of opportunity to ask questions, return to the cats we were considering and to make an informed decision. All cats seemed happy and the staff appeared to care for them very well and very much.

  I am so happy to have adopted ny cat from YCR, they do an excellent job looking after the cats, and the visitors, wish I had done it sooner. I could not recommend enough adopting a cat from YCR and will actively promote them wherever I can. We are so happy with Naomi and I think the fact that she has settled in with us so quickly is testament to how well she was looked after by YCR.

  I have visited the centre 3 times over the last week. Once to go view the cats and kittens... The ladies were lovely and chatty, making me feel welcomed. The second time was to take my fiance to visit he two kittens I had put on hold... We were dealt with very efficiently and after 15 minutes I was reserving the kitten of our choice. Even after looking and holding other kittens the staff were very willing to help out in any way possible. The 3rd visit today 22/9/2015 I went to pick up little heather. The lady in the office was very welcoming again and answered any questions I had putting my mind at ease. The paperwork signed and my booklet with me I came home with Heather. She settled very quickly. The only problem I had was with parking as there is very little at the site and I did end up nearly getting stuck but all in all the service was fantastic and I would like to congratulate the staff and volunteers on all there hard work.

  Yorkshire cat rescue were very professional and it is clear how much they care for all of their animals. The animals are kept in clean conditions. The price per cat is excellent considering they get neutered/vaccinated/chipped.
  We were well informed about how our kittens were doing whilst we waited to get them.

  They were wonderful, we first made contact via email and discussed options. Then went to see the cats. All of them are well looked after and have lovely enclosures and appear well looked after and loved by staff and volunteers.
  We made out choice and it was very easy to adopt him, they talked us through the whole process clearly and made us aware of all his needs. Overall 10/10

  A very positive experience at Yorkshire Cat Rescue, we were introduced to all the available cats and then given time (and Dreamies!) to go back and spend time with the ones we were interested in. We found the place easy to find as we had looked on Google Earth Street View but if you weren't local there was no signage at all, and they could do with more car parking space as it was full but they did have an induction day on too for volunteers.

  We used Yorkshire Cat Rescue when we boarded our cat in the summer, they gave a fantastic service and really looked after our timid cat well. We found ourselves regularly checking their website and it wasn't long before we decided to adopt a kitten. When we called the centre they were very helpful and we called down the same afternoon to visit, as we were known to the centre we were able to take the kitten on the same day. The centre were very careful not to upset the nursing mother when we entered the pen and also gave us some great advice on the nature of the kittens and explained their background. I would definitely recommend using a centre, when I rescued my first kitten this was privately and the cost of vaccinations, vet treatment, micro chipping, neutering etc. soon added up and our kitten also had other issues in her behaviour (timid and unable to clean herself). Given the choice again we would always choose the centre as they gave great advice, a free collar, neutering, vaccination (including booster) and a voucher for some cat food (saved us about £8.50).

  I've adopted two cats from Haworth and both are lovely pets. The centre is excellent, all cats are well cared for, the staff are very knowledgeable and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Haworth, or to adopt from there again. Both out Haworth cats - Rudi and Bruce - are happy, social, and loving companions. Adoption: 2012

  I originally had gone looking for an older cat - normally bit harder to home but when I explained our situation the lovely ladies explained I would actually be better with a kitten for my cat I have at home - they explained how getting a male cat also would benefit my cat at home too - some things I hadn't thought of. They know each cat and what it needs and can give you the best advice for you and your pets. And they are correct :) Adoption: 2012

  The experience was very helpful because they went through the adoption process in detail and gave us helpful information on the cat.
  I dont think there is anything better then what they provided us with.
  I liked the fact that the cats/kittens are looked after in an open area and you can tell they a constantly groomed/fed and played with. Adoption: 2012

  We used this rescue 20 years ago and got 2 fantastic cats from them, they have come on leaps and bounds in the years inbetween to us going last week to collect another cat. we were early when collecting but they were great with us even though they were clearly very busy doing the morning feeds etc. I emailed with a question regarding the cat we adopted the next day and they answered quickly and efficiently and put my mind at ease, even offering vet expense assistance if necesary which was over and above what I would have expected I wouldn't go anywhere else for a cat, I have done over the years but not received the same positive experience hence my return to Haworth, they are in it for the cats not for the money or the glory.

  Haworth cat rescue were great they allowed me to reserve my kitten, kept me updated on her progress and even sent me photographs up until the day she was old enough to bring home. My kitten was already well trained and has a great temperament and personality. Haworh cat rescue were even there for advice a week after I took my kitten home. I honestly don't think there is anything they need to improve upon there help and service was fantastic. Adoption: 2012

  Lovely friendly people, genuine cat lovers, do so much for the cats that come to them. About 12 turned up with a vet when we were looking! Would highly recommend this rescue centre and I would not be without my gorgeous Maddie. Never heard the term cat whisperer until I met Haworth Cat! :) Adoption: 2012

  Haworth Cat Rescue do a fantastic job on a shoestring budget. We fostered Millie who gave birth to 4 living kittens & sadly 1 that was stillborn a week after we took her in. We fell in love with her lopsided looks and decided to keep her & 2 of her babies...we wouldn't be without them & hope to be able to foster again once the kittens are a year old. Adoption: 2012

  Haworth Cat Rescue do an excellent job of providing the help and care that all of the cats require. Their pens are always clean (or as clean as they can be with cats in!) And the staff are always knowledgable about every single one of the cats and kittens and their history and exactely what type of person they would be best suited to. Personally when I adopted my two cats from them I felt that they dealt with me professionally but at the same time I felt comfortable around them. Moreover, they provided me with all of the information I required to look after my cats properly. Overall, I was extremely pleased with how they dealt with me and would definaetly reccommend them to anyone who is wanting to adopt a cat and I think they are doing an excellent job of caring for these animals. Keep up the excellent work you do Haworth Cat! :-) Adoption: 2011

  The cat I adopted has a rather difficult personality, and Haworth were great throughout the adoption process - honest about the problems they'd had while she was in the shelter, and very supportive afterwards - I called them for advice a couple of times. They even did me a home visit for microchipping so I didn't have to get her into the carrier! Adoption: 2011

  We have actually had three cats from Haworth, 2 last November and 1 this July. They were very supportive when choosing a cat especially the third as I was very anxious about introducing a new member of the family. I was able to call for support after the adoption for advice and was encouraged to get in touch whenever i needed. Haworth Cat also offer a cattery service which we used in May it was lovely to take our cats back to where they knew them for their holiday. They're offer an amazing service and they are invauable with their hints and tips on Facebook etc as well. Adoption: 2011

  We adopted out beautiful deaf ex-feral cat last month. The staff have done a marvellous job with him he went from being an agressive and frightened feral cat when he first arrived, to a lovely indoor cat who now sleeps on our lap and dribbles when we pet him. All staff were helpful and very friendly, would definitely recommend this rescue to anyone. Adoption: 2011

  Haworth Cat Rescue is from your first contact obviously run by people that genuinely care about the felines they rescue. All the staff are super friendly & knowledgable about the cats/kittens in their care. The centre is clean, tidy and most of all welcoming- the felines waiting to be rehomed are obviously happy & content. We adopted our 5mth old kitten at the end of October 2011 and have nothing but praise for the volunteers & staff from first contact right through to the day we brought our kitten home. One of the most impressive things has been the fact that he was already litter trained and loves human contact even though he didnt have the greatest start in life. When i contacted HCR i explained our circumstances- ( young son and an aging west high white terrier), the staff were quick to recomend the perfect kitten to us. Sherbet has been in our family for just over 4 weeks and already we couldnt imagine our home without him- all thanks to Haworth Cat Rescue xx. Adoption:2011

  Was given lots of information about the cats that were available and if they would be suitable for me. The staff were friendly, knowlegable about each cat and gave me lots of time to make this important decision. The cats looked clean, happy and healthy in lovely conditions. The staff are very dedicated and professional and are obviously passionate about the service they provide. Adoption: 2011

  Alfie was very well cared for and all the volunteers loved him. Due to a wobble and potassium deficiency no one had chosen him and everyone at Haworth cat wanted him to have a forever home. I saw Alfie on Facebook through a friend who volunteers at the rescue and fell in love with him. As soon as I arrived at haworth cat it was clear to see that all the cats are cared for by cat lovers who want the best for them. Alfies treatment is continued to be paid for by haworth cat and it's fantastic they support adopters by doing this for cats that require ongoing treatment. It really shows that they care that the cat has a good forever home. Adoption: 2011

  Having rescued a pregnant Issy for sale on gumtree I contacted Haworth cat rescue to help me find homes for the kittens. I did not want them falling into bad hands. They were excellent in every way. Mum and kittens were added to the waiting list. They would have taken them all straight away and placed them in a foster home however with advice I bought up the kittens. An experience I would not have missed out on. When the time came Issy and kittens were collected from my home as I had no transport and taken to the center. There they were nuetered and chipped. New homes were found for the kittens and issy was returned to me. Adoption: 2011

  We adopted 'Aslan' now known as 'Frank' he is on Haworths 'moggieblog', we originally thought he would be standoffish as he was a stray for such a long time and had been through so much,and had been in Haworth for such a long time, but he settled in so well and is such an adorable chap, i cant imagine our home without him, he is so loved and so loving, even when he takes up most of the bed, he is always at the door to greet us when we come home from work. The staff were excellent and told us everything we needed to know and were quite sad to see him go, they were genuine and caring, and would highly recommend anyone who is looking to adopt to go to 'Haworth' and am now looking for a friend to keep 'Frank' company.

  Amazing experience, well-matched with a cat who fit right in here and who has thrived by being placed in the right environment. Wonderful, clearly dedicated owner of the rescue and her staff, good clear information pre-adoption, this has been an absolute pleasure from the outset and I will adopt again from here when the time is right.

  When we decided to adopt a cat, Haworth Cat Rescue was recommended to us by several friends who had adopted cats from them too. We initially emailed to enquire about adopting a cat and asked for advice concerning our home environment and its suitability. We received a quick reply with great advice and decided to visit. The charity is set in a lovely rural location, the animals were kept in a clean environment with plenty of space to move around and access to the outdoors. They also had lots of human contact. The staff were very helpful and knew each cat individually and could tell us what they knew about their history and personalities etc. We adopted our beautiful cat on our second visit and received lots of support. The process was very smooth and we knew that we could call or visit again with any concerns or if we needed further advice. Our cat has made our home complete and we would not hesitate to recommend this charity to others. We would certainly use them again! Adoption: 2010

  Our experience with Haworth Cat Rescue has been great. We heard about their work through a friend after saying we'd like to adopt a rescue cat, went on their website, saw the cats available in their care with information on all of them individually, we rang up and were told we were welcome to go to the centre. We went, were shown around and taken in to see some of the suitable cats (we wanted an older indoor cat as we live near a busy road) and found our boy straight away! The volunteers were great in providing us with his medical history, his background and giving advice on his care. Adoption: 2009

  I adopted biscuit as a kitten 4 years ago and blue as a 7month old 2 years ago and Haworth is the best place i could have chosen, fantastic, caring staff, superb small center, very knowlegable about all the cats, who is suitable for which home, spotlessly clean, all the cats from there are neutered and microchipped , so no worries about female cats having more kittens, all round a very positive place even though thier resources are stretched every cat or kitten that comes into the center are treated like princes and princesses, thank you Haworth i wouldnt be without my haworth boys.

  Haworth Cat Rescue are the best charity in the UK. Not only do they run a easy and friendly to use website but its also interesting to read too.
  
  I adopted TC (Top Cat) from there shelter in October 2009. At first we had some teething problems and we still have the odd one or two today, but Haworth Cat's Rescue support has been helping her get better.
  
  They even leant me some of the equiptment to use to get her back to normal, and let me go round and see all the other available kitty's for a stroke! How I didn't adopt the whole place I dont know. Adoption: 2009

  We adopted & collected our little Bronte from Haworth Cat Rescue in Oct 2009 having 1st met him aged about 5 weeks in the September with his mum & siblings on our annual visit to the centre . He was looked after by one of the centre's wonderful fosterers who kept in contact with us during that waiting period & gave him a wonderful start in life . We have had continued support & contact since we adopted him . I can only give the greatest of admiration for all the staff at the centre who do an amazing job caring for all the cats & kittens that come their way . Thank you all ! x. Adoption: 2009

  An excellent caring charity. I returned to this rescue as I had previously adopted a kitten and his mother in 2005. Both times, all the volunteers were professional, friendly, polite, welcoming, knowledgeable and seemed to me to be dedicated to the welfare of cats and animals. Any updates that I emailed them - I received a response to, even though I did not ask any questions. They always like to hear about the cats that have passed through Haworth Cat Rescue no matter how long ago. An excellent caring charity. Adoption: 2011

  Lovely cat home, it was quite a few years ago that we adopted our cat from there but I have been recommending it to everyone since. The cats were all kept very well, they all had lovely spacious enclosures and lots of toys etc. It was not over crowded, the cats all seemed loved. If I was ever to get another cat I would definitely visit Haworth cat again. Thank you!xx Adoption: 2006

  Can't praise HCR enough for all they do for their cats, sadly Oscar left us last year but he was elderly when we got him and although he was grumpy in the extreme for the first couple of years he mellowed later and we miss him very much ... I would encourage anyone to adopt an older cat and give them another chance. Adoption: 2006

  I have adopted 2 cats now from haworth, and wouldn't go anywhere else now, even my Daughter has just adopted her 1st kitten this week. They are very particular over the health of the cats/kittens, and will not let them be re-homed unless they are healthy enough to go.
  The staff are very friendly and helpful, and are always at the end of the phone if you have any concerns.
  Keep up the good work Haworth, and well done to you all x. Adoption: 2006

  Haworth came to MY rescue after I lost my darling Cally (my little black and white soulmate). Smokey and I took one look at each other; he meowed noisily the whole time and I was hooked. The lady who looked after us was lovely and knowledgeable and couldn't have been nicer. Wonderful experience. Thank you, Howarth! Adoption: 2006
