Yorkshire Cat Rescue
Yorkshire Cat Rescue is a registered charity and rescue centre that exists to save the lives of abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens in Yorkshire and parts of Lancashire. It rescues, cares for and re-homes approximately 1000 cats a year from its purpose-built centre, with many in foster homes too. As Yorkshire Cat Rescue will never put healthy cats down, sometimes it takes in and, until found the ideal home, cares for chronically ill cats or kittens. Cats for adoption can be viewed on https://yorkshirecatrescue.org
A manager from Yorkshire Cat Rescue approached Friends Of Baxter Animal Care and asked if we would be willing to offer Reiki to help their anxious and frightened cats. “Of course,” we replied, and our first visit was arranged for late November 2017.
On the first morning immediate benefits were evident for all to see. Our visits then became a regular occurrence with Reiki also being sent between visits to nervous or ill cats who were new to Yorkshire Cat Rescue and it was thought would especially benefit. Our case studies show a few examples of how Reiki has helped these Rescue cats, and could help large numbers of other animals.
