Every Cat Matters has helped me more than they will ever know.

After approaching a number of local rescues in the hope of adopting indoor cats, I was advised that I was unlikely to be considered because I planned to keep them indoors. Given how many cats currently need loving homes in the UK, this really took me by surprise.

After doing some research, I found Every Cat Matters. As soon as I submitted my application, I was contacted by the wonderful SK, who took the time to talk through everything with me and helped find the perfect bonded pair for my circumstances.

My situation was not completely straightforward, as I was waiting for my move-in date. However, SK and their lovely fosterer, Jade, kindly agreed to wait until I was settled in my new home. The whole process was smooth, thoughtful and respectful for everyone involved.

I am now lucky enough to have the two cutest, chattiest little boys guarding my house—and in return, they will have all the food, love and care in the world....hehehe.

It was clear from the photos and videos Jade sent that they had been so well cared for in foster. Their confidence, affectionate nature and chatty little personalities show just how much love they received before coming home.

I cannot thank everyone at Every Cat Matters enough for helping to pair me with my beautiful little boys.

I cannot recommend Every Cat Matters highly enough. They have been absolutely incredible from beginning to end.

I contacted them about Vini, an older stray cat who had been living outside locally for a long time and was being cared for by members of our community. He had recently tested positive for FIV and also had dental and other health concerns, and we wanted to find somewhere safe for him where he could receive the care he needed.

Every Cat Matters responded with such kindness, compassion and genuine determination to help. They found Vini a wonderful foster home incredibly quickly and arranged for him to receive the veterinary assessment, treatment and ongoing care he needs.

What I particularly appreciated was the way the team worked with everyone involved in Vini’s care. They communicated with both my neighbours, who had been looking after Vini locally, and myself, answered our questions, kept us informed and were incredibly kind and supportive throughout the whole process. It really felt like everyone was working together with the same goal of giving Vini the best possible future.

Vini is now safely in his foster home with a wonderful foster carer, and I honestly could not have hoped for a better person to look after him. I have had the opportunity to speak with her, and it is incredibly reassuring to know that Vini is safe, warm and with someone who already has experience caring for an FIV-positive cat.

What has impressed me most about Every Cat Matters is how much they genuinely care about the individual animals they help, as well as the people involved in caring for them. The compassion and dedication behind this charity really comes through.

I am incredibly grateful to everyone at Every Cat Matters, Vini’s foster carer, my neighbours and everyone else who has played a part in helping him. Small animal rescues do extraordinary work, and organisations like Every Cat Matters deserve all the support they can get. They are a shining example of what an organisation who helps animal should be.

Thank you so much for everything you have done for Vini and for giving him the opportunity to have a safe, happy and healthy future. ❤️

Lovely experience. From adoption application to welcoming the flooff home and beyond, ECM have been patient, understanding and committed to matching us with the perfect cat, ensuring their safe transportation to our home and offering support while our fur baby settles in.

Every Cat Matters has been incredible from start to finish and we have been incredibly fortunate to have found our little Yoyo to be loved by us.
The amount of work and love that the team put into each adoption is admirable and inspiring- they truly care about all the cats and kittens finding their forever homes.
I have to say a special mention to Yoyo’s foster mum, Dana, who has been sensational from start to finish - we truly couldn’t have got Yoyo to us safely without her tireless work and dedication.
I could not recommend ECM more and I would definitely come back to them should I be looking to adopt another cat in the future.

RJ was extremely kind and responsive through the whole process. Once we sent an email enquiring about a kitty within 2 days RJ came back to us asking for extra details and next week we were already set up to meet Tali, a sweet calico girl that we fell absolutely in love with. The clarity and support in this adoption is commendable 💖

I can't recommend getting a cat (or 2) from them enough. They are so present and helpful throughout the whole process. You just absolutely can feel the love they have for the cats and how much they want them in the best homes. Genuine pleasure to deal with, huge thank you to RJ for helping us bring our new kitties into our lives

I had a great experience with Every Cat Matters. They were so supportive throughout the entire adoption process. Their communication was excellent, with regular updates that really helped us feel informed and reassured as our cat travelled. Even after the adoption, they checked in to make sure she had settled in well. It’s clear they really care about the cats and the families they give homes to! Also, huge shout out to the fosterer's who also do an amazing job!

The process from first making contact with ECM has been easy and thorough. No stone is left unturned. I applied for Zaatar and spent time talking to SK his foster mum and ECM Trustee. I completed a comprehensive form and had a video call where we had the chance to go through things and meet the man himself. They then went away to ensure we were paired correctly before agreeing to my adopting him.
Everything since has been Smooth sailing, I’ve been kept updated with everything and received videos and pictures of him prior to his journey.
We were updated of his vet care, boarding the plane, the journey over here and his time in the x processing centre at Heathrow by the ECM team. They arranged his transport and kept in touch every step of the way until he arrived home.
The team are genuinely interested and caring about these cats getting their perfect, forever home! They love them and are super invested in getting it right. I have felt able to ask anything and truly appreciate how they still ask how he’s doing.
I recommend using these guys if considering adopting a cat. Zaatar arrived healthy, confident and clearly well loved as SK had told me! Great process and so glad I found them as I now have my perfect boy

What a lovely company!! As I’m writing this I’m cuddled up with my kitty. A hassle free yet thorough company who help you through every stage. Just amazing and I recommend this company to everyone

What a fantastic process. Having come from the UAE only a few years ago as expats back to the UK with our two Mau’s that eventually passed after 17 long years, we did not expect to find our selves adopting from the UAE again. Process is seamless. We were kept up to date the whole way through. The kitten was socialized, in good health and incredibly friendly which is a testament to the care they’ve received from a young age. I’d recommend Every Cat Matters to anyone looking to adopt a helpless cat in need of a loving home. Thank you so much x

Thank you so much to the team at ECM. I am so blessed to have my kittens Ray (Tigger) and Tinkerbell. They have settled in so well and adopting through ECM was the best decision

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From the moment I submitted an enquiry about my gorgeous goofball Popcorn, the ECM team have been fantastic, their kind, informative and loving attitude to the cats in their care blew me away.

The process was thorough (because they really care about what happens to the cats they have saved from a horrendous life on the streets) but so smooth. RJ was brilliant at keeping me informed along the way. The updates, photos and videos meant we got to know the cats a little before they left and we knew exactly where our new fur babies were during their travel and the collection process was so easy.

The after adoption support and communication has been second to none. Noleen, his fosterer has done the most amazing job turning a tiny 7 week old street kitten with a terrible eye infection into the most adorable loving cat. Thank you all for saving my boy and giving him the chance to live out his best life in a world of love and comfort rather than fear and hunger.

Popcorn (now Loki) has settled really well is already a playmate for my youngest cat and snuggle buddy for not just us but my older cats too. He’s such a character (hence the name!) and does nothing but make us smile everyday.

These guys do an awesome job and if you are thinking of adopting from them absolutely do it! You won’t regret it and you will save more than one life in the process. Thank you again to the whole team at ECM.

Absolutely brilliant experience with ECM. Friendly, smooth experience with fantastic communication and updates throughout the whole process and beyond. I can't praise them enough. If you're in two minds, don't be! The staff will match you with your perfect cat and are there every step of the way. A fantastic charity with amazing staff doing incredible work for every animal in their care. Please support them and open up your heart and home to a cat in need

I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience. The work they do is truly amazing. From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive and helpful, and the whole process felt smooth and stress free. It’s clear how much they care about the cats, they take the time to ensure each cat goes to the right home. And as for my cats… absolute perfection! They’re healthy, happy, and have settled in so well, which is a real testament to the love and care they received before adoption.
I’m so grateful to ECM for bringing them into my life. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to adopt!

Every Cat Matters is a wonderful organisation and we are so grateful to them for enabling us to adopt Marie. The process of adoption is very smooth and we were provided with all the information we needed. Special thanks to the rescuer Samra, who looked after Marie so well. Marie is an incredible cat with a calm and affectionate nature and she is adapting quickly to her new home. Thank you !

Every Cat Matters made Juniper’s adoption such a positive experience. The team was kind responsive and supportive throughout the process and they clearly care deeply about their cats’ wellbeing. Communication was clear and reassuring and I felt well guided as a new adopter. I’m also very grateful to the rescuers and foster carers involved for giving Juniper such a great start. Juniper has settled in beautifully and is already thriving in her new home. Thank you so much for everything you do for these amazing cats.

We have adopted two shy cross-eyed boys from ECM, and their case worker, SK, has been so helpful and frankly amazing throughout the process. Unfortunately one of them sustained an eye injury along the journey, and due to their nature we struggled at first to administer the drops. Thankfully, SK understood our struggles, and has was so understanding and helpful, even from across the seas!

We were sent regular updates from the minute we were accepted, and provided support and encouragement every step of the way!

Adopting a cat from another country can be nerve-wracking! Fortunately, Every Cat Matters are here for us every step of the way, sending regular updates and answering all of our queries! We could not have had a smoother experience and we love Jake so much already!

From the moment I reached out to ECM they have been exceptional. I now have a beautiful companion for my lonely kitty. The adoption process was smooth and efficient whilst being rigorous in terms of making sure we were a suitable match. The trustees clearly go above and beyond to secure safe homes for the cats they rescue and care for . I would wholeheartedly recommend ECM.

Thank you so much to RJ and the team at ECM, we just adopted the beautiful Tilly and are so thrilled to have her as part of our family! We found the description of Tilly on the ECM website to be really accurate, and the overall adoption process super quick and convenient. RJ was fantastic, a great communicator and always replied promptly to our emails - thank you for all your help! Would highly recommend adopting through ECM :-)

I have adopted three gorgeous pussy cats from ECM. The whole process was flawless. It was wonderful to work with a charity and foster carers who are so loving and caring. I was kept up to date at all times, provided with videos and pictures, and I felt like I got to know the babies before they even arrived. Thank you for everything you do!

Every Cat Matters were amazing. They made the whole adoption process so easy and were so communicative about the next steps and tips on how to settle the cats. They truly care about the cats and the owners and I would totally recommend. Goldie is now living her best life with me and I’m so grateful to them for rescuing her.

We adopted our sweet Pebbles from ECM just before Christmas, and we couldn’t be happier with him completing our family and with the entire adoption process. The application form and home video check were easy and straightforward, and communication throughout was excellent. We were kept informed every step of the way, and the team’s genuine love and care for their furbabies truly shines through.

Pebbles’ personality was described perfectly, and the team made sure we were the perfect match for him and his needs. Before his flight we were put in touch with his rescuer, who shared lots of helpful details about his habits, favourite foods and more. He arrived fully vaccinated, microchipped, vet checked, and well prepared for his journey. Even after he arrived, ECM continued to offer ongoing support. It's a wonderful organisation with wonderful furbabies - we highly recommend adopting from ECM!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot recommend Every Cat Matters highly enough! Last year, I adopted Mr. Kitty through them, and this year I welcomed Moo into my home. Both cats have settled beautifully and have formed an incredibly strong bond with each other, bringing so much joy and love into my life.

The Every Cat Matters team made the adoption process seamless and stress-free. From start to finish, their communication was clear, friendly, and supportive. Their guidance before adoption ensured I was fully prepared, and their post-adoption support has been nothing short of amazing, offering advice and encouragement whenever needed.

The team, including their wonderful fosterers, are truly passionate and caring people. It’s evident how much they love each and every cat in their care, and that dedication shows in the happy, well-adjusted pets they help find homes.

Both Mr. Kitty and Moo are now thriving, confident, and affectionate cats, and I am endlessly grateful to Every Cat Matters for bringing them into my life. If you’re considering adopting, you will not find a more professional, compassionate, and genuinely lovely team anywhere.

The Every Cat Matters team are paw-sitively purr-fect! Their love of the cats they rescue is first and foremost in everything they do. Me and my husband have been lucky enough to have two foster fails from them. Both of which have enriched our lives in ways we can’t describe. Our cats are our world and we couldn’t have met them without the support from ECM. Both cat’s journeys to us were really well organised and communicated to us, alongside aftercare as a result of a long journey. They were diligent in making sure we were the right fit and have offered ongoing support throughout our foster-come-adoption journey. RJ, we would like to thank you personally for the love you showed to our cats before we had them and to how kind and caring you’ve been throughout the process of adoption. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough! Hannah, Charlie, JJ & Dwayne

When my old cat died, I started to look for a rescue cat rather than buy a kitten! I saw Gavin online and fell in love with his cheeky face, however I was a bit dubious about applying for a cat outside of the uk! ECM made the process really easy and pleasant though!! They kept in touch throughout, sending me photos and updates and we got Gavin in a relatively short space of time! He really is a naughty, cheeky little monkey, but also so loving and purry! I’m very pleased to have used this process and also to have given a home to a homeless cat that needed the care <3 thank you ECM

I carried out two private rescues in Dubai, and ECM’s support was invaluable from start to finish. They handled the entire process of transporting my cats from Dubai to London, right to the doorstep of their new owners, with exceptional care and attention to detail. ECM also expertly guided me through what can be a complex process, managing all necessary paperwork and health requirements, including vaccinations and microchipping.

The team is exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. They work closely with like-minded organisations and individuals, ensuring that every step is carried out responsibly and transparently. Most importantly, the welfare and wellbeing of the animals is always their top priority.

I will always be incredibly grateful to ECM for agreeing to help me and my cats. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering adopting a cat from abroad and looking for an organisation they can trust.

We cannot recommend ECM highly enough. From the very first point of contact, the support we received was nothing short of exceptional. The pre-adoption process, including completing the adoption form, was handled with care, kindness, and genuine interest in ensuring the best possible match—for both us and the cats. By the time adoption day arrived, we felt fully supported, informed, and confident, and that care has continued well beyond bringing our two beautiful cats home.

A special thank you to RJ for her ongoing support, genuine kindness, and unwavering dedication. Nothing has ever felt like too much trouble, and her compassion truly shines through in everything she does. The ongoing aftercare and support from ECM has been incredibly reassuring and speaks volumes about how deeply they care for every animal they rescue.

The compassion shown by the ladies at ECM is second to none. Their hard work, commitment, and love in rescuing, raising, and nurturing these beautiful cats is truly commendable. ECM doesn’t just rehome cats—they change lives, both feline and human, and we are beyond grateful to have adopted twice through such an amazing charity. 🐾❤️

We've adopted two cats now from ECM, several years apart. Our first boy Cyrus was a young adult boy who had a rough time. When we got him, he was very loving straight away, and over time has become the best cat you could ever ask for.

Recently, we adopted Phoenix after her extremely rough start to life. She is now the most loving kitten I've probably ever had.

Cyrus was already in the UK, whereas Phoenix was still overseas, so each process was different, however both were just as easy. Communication was great both times, and even to this day.

ECM genuinely cares about each of their rescues, and likes to make sure they go to the best homes, and even keep in touch, love seeing pictures, hearing stories, and offer any help of advise where possible.

The amazing work they do literally saves lives (mostly the cats, but the humans too when they get their new babies)

We have continued to support them since we first got Cyrus, and we will support them as much, and as long as possible. Even sharing content to raise awareness helps if you can't afford to donate, so we encourage everyone to do what they can.

More importantly, adopt these fur babies, because they've had the love, care and attention they needed to get this far, so now it's up to us to complete that journey.

We will ALWAYS adopt through ECM, and we tell all our friends and family that they should do the same.

RJ at ECM was great from start to finish. I explained our past experience & current situation & asked what overlooked cats would suit us. She suggested a few options & gave us time to think with no pressure. I love how they don’t give up on cats even when their outlook seems bleak! If they had we wouldn’t have had our boy Beau! They are a charity with a real heart & just want the best for their cats. We love our two boys that we adopted & it’s clear that they were very cared for before we received them. Please support ECM & adopt an cat in need from them!
