Can anyone help find stables that might take feral cats in Southern England or Wales??

I'm with the Celia Hammond Animal Trust in London and we are desperate for homes for our feral cats. Stables and farms tend to be ideal locations, where the cats perform mousing duties in exchange for food and shelter. All cats come neutered, vaccinated etc and we provide relocation pens and advice, as well as after care (if the cats need re-trapping for vet treatment).

If anyone knows stables that might be interested, or could share the request on similar horse-related forums, we would be most grateful.

My yard are looking for cats. We used to have 3 but two got old and sick and the 3rd had to be PTS because he developed an inoperable tumour 6 months ago.
I think the yard owner has emailed a couple of rescues and is waiting to hear back.
What sort of adoption fees do you charge, is it per cat or a set fee for a group? We have a lot of space and there are 6 of us who are happy to keep filling their food stores and a regular lady who dishes up in the morning and another who does dinner. (We've been well trained, lol)

Amazing! Whereabouts are you? Let me check about adoption fees.

Yes, just checked. There is no specific fee but we would be very grateful for some sort of donation towards our costs as all have been neutered etc. We have a group of six in mind which we are desperate to find a place for (although it's not necessary to take all six). They are all four month old siblings which where born in an Asda delivery yard. (Mum and dad cat are also available if you want more!). Please feel free to private message.

Sorry op, I spoke to the yard owner but she'd already made arrangements after weeks of trying and failing and our new cats arrived a few days after I replied to your message. They're currently in one of our stables in 2 joined dog style crates with beds and litter boxes getting acclimatised and waiting for release day. One has fallen for a ping pong ball in a box and spends the day poking his paw into a hole patting it around and pouncing on it and doesn't seem nearly as ferrel as his friends.
I hope your cats find homes soon xx
