About House of Chances

In 2023 our organisation successfully fully vetted and rehomed 502 cats into new loving and tailor fit homes. We saved 548 from being euthanised in shelters or from members of the community who needed support. Our organisation prioritises those animals who are injured, sick, unsocial or are harder to place. We believe these animals deserve their chance at the best life possible.
