TAG's main aims and purposes
• To shelter and re-home unwanted, abandoned and stray animals
• To promote spaying and neutering as an effective means of unwanted pet control
• To provide a subsidised spay and neutering collection service for low income families

• To raise public awareness as to the instinctive drives and needs of domestic pets
• To provide a telephone help line for the local community with animal related problems

Rescue
The rescue and re-homing of unwanted, stray or abandoned domestic animals shall be the primary purpose of TAG Pet Rescue.
A high standard of accommodation, care and clinical cleanliness is to be provided and maintained at all times and any veterinary treatment sought at the earliest opportunity.
Under no circumstances is any animal to be destroyed unless in a qualified medical practitioners opinion it is required on medical grounds.
All admissions are recorded and details logged in TAG Pet Rescue database.

Re-homing
No animal is to be re-homed until a representative of TAG Pet Rescue has visited the home of a potential adopter and deemed it suitable. No animal is to be re-homed in order to make space or in an emergency unless the new home meets TAG Pet Rescue criteria. Adoption forms must be completed and signed before any animal is allowed to leave the care of TAG Pet Rescue.

Spaying and Neutering
All female cats over the age of 6 months are to be spayed before or immediately after re-homing. All male cats over the age of 6 months are to be neutered before or immediately after re-homing.
This measure is to reduce the number of unwanted cats and kittens and to exercise some control over the spread of FIV, FIP and other highly infectious and deadly diseases.
The promotion of spaying and neutering as a means of control over the above mentioned problems will remain an important part of TAG Pet Rescue's day to day business.
TAG Pet Rescue provides a subsidised spaying and neutering service for low income families.
Charity rate veterinary fees have been negotiated with a local veterinary surgeon. TAG Pet Rescue collects animals on a weekly basis and delivers them to the veterinary practice for spaying and neutering. TAG Pet Rescue will then collect and return all animals to their respective owners.
 

Rogues Retreat Opens The idea sprung to mind a couple of years ago when we felt we had to come up with a better quality of life for our golden oldies. TAG gives shelter to quite a lot of OAP cats, for instance, if someone has died or a baby has been born into the family. Occasionally some -wonderful person will come along and want to take on one of our old dears or they will offer a home under our OAP permanent foster home arrangement, where someone is willing to give an older cat a home and provide food but are understandably worried about large veterinary expenses, so given peace of mind that TAG will cover veterinary expenses, this arrangement works well. But not all the oldies are as lucky. It never ceases to sadden us to see the older cats spending much longer than the younger cats at the sanctuary. Although each cat has its own indoor heated 4 x 4 house comfortably furnished with scratch post, litter tray, toys and cosy bed with its own cat flap leading to its own 6 x 4 outside run with a chair to laze on. We still felt that this was not the best in the long term. So, the idea was born to create a large garden type enclosed area with planted borders, decking, cobble stone yard and wooden love seats arranged around the trees for the cats to sit outside and enjoy their gorgeous surroundings. They also have a choice of two heated houses where they are able to sit indoors listening to Classic FM while snoozing on the sofas enjoying good quality first class accommodation! Rogues Retreat gives the feel of a home from home atmosphere. Pets We Have Helped Re-home TAG re-homed over 200 animals in and there are many more waiting, for a chance of happiness. All prospective homes are checked for their suitability and advise is given by TAG' s home checkers on what type of pet would best suit their environment. Once approved an owner would be invited to choose the new member of their family. Often younger animals are chosen first and older animals are overlooked. Some of the animals that live at TAG do not show their better side whilst here, often given the chance of a snug new home their better side shines out. The following are just a few of those animals that have been overlooked by families and we are now desperate to find them a new home.TAG re-homed over 200 animals in and there are many more waiting, for a chance of happiness.

Flossy is a 10 year old female cat who came to the sanctuary in September. Sadly Flossie is blind so she is really confused about what is happening to her. Flossie's much loved owner died and her daughter took Flossie home with her. Unfortunately she was frightened of the family dog. Flossie swishes her tail to find her way around. TAG really needed to find her a home soon where she could feel safe again. Then along came Clare who gave her a loving new home. Flossie's Story. (Story told by Clare, Flossie's New Mum) I wasn't going to get another cat after Gothic died. My previous rescue cat that had lived with me for 11 years. But as a few months past, my house felt empty without any animals and I felt that I could afford to share my home with a cat in need. So the next time I was in TAG I was looking at the pictures on the wall of all therescue cats and the lady at the counter came over and started telling me about a blind cat named Flossie who needed a home. She told me I should go and take a look. We brought her home that day. She settled in extremely quickly and now rules the roost! Her last owner had died and Flossie had been in the cattery for a while before she came to us, but shows no signs of a troubled past, she is treated like aprincess in our home. She's warm, affectionate and cheeky; lying in wait to get you is one of her favourite games! We want to thank all at TAG for the work they're doing and encourage other people to rescue a cat like Flossie.
