Our Visit to Rescue Cats NI: A Heartfelt Experience
At Cat Brew Club, our mission has always been to make a positive impact on the lives of cats, whether through providing high-quality catnip and toys or supporting the incredible rescues that help our furry friends in need. Recently, we had the opportunity to visit Rescue Cats NI, a non-profit cat rescue based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The experience was deeply moving and eye-opening, highlighting both the incredible work of the shelter and the harsh reality faced by so many cats.
Visiting a rescue like Rescue Cats NI wasn’t an easy experience. Seeing cats who have been mistreated, abandoned, or left to fend for themselves is heartbreaking. Many of these cats have endured more than any animal should ever have to, and knowing how they might have ended up there was difficult to process. However, witnessing the love, dedication, and care that this organisation provides was truly inspiring. The team at Rescue Cats NI goes above and beyond to give these cats a second chance at a happy life, and their work is nothing short of incredible.
Cat Brew Club’s Small Way of Giving Back
From the beginning, Cat Brew Club was built with the goal of reaching a point where we could give back to local cat rescues and, eventually, support rescues on a global scale. While we’re still working toward being able to make financial contributions, we were thrilled to donate over £400 worth of cat toys and our premium TopCatnip© herb during our visit.
It may not sound like much, but the gratitude from the team at Rescue Cats NI and the joy it brought to the cats made every bit of effort worth it. Watching the cats—many of whom are often anxious or withdrawn—come out of their shells, relax, and play with the new toys was an incredible experience. Seeing them bat around the toys and roll around in our catnip, letting their guards down and just being happy, reminded us why we do what we do.
How You Can Help Rescue Cats NI
While our donation was just a small contribution, we hope to continue supporting Rescue Cats NI in any way we can in the future. The work they do for cats in Northern Ireland is truly life-changing. Each cat that comes through their doors is given a chance to find a loving home, recover from trauma, and experience kindness again.
If you’re in a position to help, whether through adopting, fostering, or donating, we urge you to consider supporting this incredible charity. They take in injured, abandoned, and stray cats of all ages, and every bit of help goes a long way. Even spreading the word about their efforts can make a difference.
A Bright Future for Cat Brew Club and Rescue Cats NI
We may not be able to donate large sums of money just yet, but this visit was a reminder of our ultimate goal: to grow Cat Brew Club into a brand that consistently gives back to rescues like this. Our mission is not just about selling catnip and pet toys—it’s about making a meaningful impact for cats everywhere. We want every cat to feel the joy, comfort, and love they deserve.
