Welcome to Band of Rescuers North Yorkshire. We have been operating since 2015 as a small voluntary group and over the years gained the much needed support of our wider community. As our following grew and the voluntary management team developed, we proudly gained our charity registration in 2019 and Band of Rescuers North Yorkshire (BORNY) as we know it today was born.

​

Our mission:

Providing a safe haven for cats and kittens in need. We assess and consider the individual needs of every cat, ensuring first-rate holistic care is given.  We pride ourselves in maintaining high-quality veterinary support provisions for all cats in our care.

We aim to alleviate suffering and improve the wellbeing of cats and kittens. We rescue and rehabilitate and once ready and if suitable, we rehome to loving new families.

Treating every feline with compassion, dignity and understanding our aim is never to turn away a cat in need of our help – this means we are committed to a non-selective intake policy. Subject to space availability, but irrespective of, condition, age, temperament or health. We will do all we can to help any cats and kittens who find themselves in need.

​

Our vision:

Our vision is a world where humans treat cats and kittens with compassion, respect and understanding. As a charity we aim to alleviate suffering and positively influence welfare standards of cats and kittens in care.
