Rescue Scottish Pets aims to help shelters by providing them with a place where they can advertise their pets in need, but also to help those wanting to rescue one place where they can view pets form many shelters.

Note that Rescue Scottish Pets is not an actual shelter so does not take or have any of the pets shown on the site. You must contact the shelter directly who has the pet by clicking on View Shelter's Contact Details beside the pet you are interested in.

If you want to rescue a pet but cannot find the right one on the site, I may be able to help as not all pets are listed by shelters I have contact with.

So just drop me an email (see Contact Me in menu at top of site).

Edinburgh Cat Protection League - a new Charity on Rescue Scottish Pets

We are pleased to announce that in the last couple of months another new charity has joined Rescue Scottish Pets. They are the Edinburgh Cats Protection League. They were set up over 70 years ago and have been helping cats ever since!

In their own words:

"Edinburgh Cat Protection League was established over 70 years ago by a group of Edinburgh ladies who became concerned about the number of stray and unwanted cats in Edinburgh. They set up premises in Stockbridge and ultimately here in Leith at the present premises.

We are a stand alone, self-funding Scottish Charity (Charity No. SCO14916) dedicated to the welfare of stray cats or cats that can no longer remain with their present owner. The League is run by a voluntary Committee and an animal care worker is employed for the practical care of the cats."

You can visit their website at: http://www.edinburghcatprotection.org.uk/

and view their cats on Rescue Scottish Pets at:
