MEET THE CORE TEAM
The Faces of Our Organisation
JUNE
June and her late husband Ian (Cat Daddy) started the GCH rescue 15 years ago, and she has been rescuing and rehoming cats and kittens in need ever since. June has a dedicated team of volunteers, amazing Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, and several wonderful fosterers as well as superb support from Voo vets. Starting with two cats Slinky and Rooney, June now has 14 permanent rescue residents as well as 10 cats of her own, and 8 in long-term foster care. The rescue work is 24/7 and it goes on thanks to June’s commitment, expertise, care and love of our feline friends along with fantastic support from our amazing followers. June loves all her babies, but Bramble never leaves her side.
LEE
Lee is a trustee and team admin who deals with adoptions and home checks. She is June's deputy, our vet liaison and she also supervises all the cat foster parents. Lee is very hands on at the rescue helping with cats and kittens; she does most of the vet runs. Lee rescues a lot of cats and kittens with Steve and is one of our foster mums - she loves kittens! Lee runs Kitty Palace at our events. Her favourite cat here is Lizzie. She also has 4 cats of her own including to GCH ones!

JULIE
Julie is a team admin and our senior fosterer, she has fostered many cats for GCH and turned some tricky ones around. She is amazing with the most difficult cases and her patience has saved many cats. Julie looks after our long term foster cats Memma 7 Roger. She loves them all as if they were her own. Julie's favourite cats here are Tammy, Gracie and Louis.
STEVE
Steve is the most experienced member of the team in dealing with tricky cases. He is the one who usually goes out to rescue, collect or deliver a cat with Lee. Steve does the DIY at the rescue and keeps everything shipshape. Steve is now also a foster Dad who is great with troubled cats who need a quiet space. Steve's favourite cats here are Lizzie, Louis and Gracie.
