Contact StrayKind
Whether you have found an injured animal, want to adopt, or need to reach us about a donation, here is how.
Found an injured animal?
For emergencies in Taiwan only. Answered at any hour, every day of the year. If an animal is caught in a snare or badly hurt, call—do not email, and do not wait.
Before you call, if you can
The more of this you have ready, the faster we can reach the animal. Do not delay calling to gather it all—tell us what you know and we will work the rest out with you.
- Exactly where the animal is. Many rescues are in remote hills where a road name is not enough. On your phone, open Google Maps, press and hold on your position until a pin drops, then share that pin with us. A screenshot of the coordinates works too.
- What is wrong. Caught in a snare, hit by a vehicle, sick, trapped, or something else.
- What the animal is. Dog or cat, rough size, colour, and whether you can see an injury.
- What is around them. The surroundings tell us how to reach the animal and what equipment we need, and whether we can get a vehicle close.
- How the animal is behaving. Friendly, frightened, defensive, or unable to move. This decides how many of us come and what we bring.
- Where it came from, and where it went. Both matter. Where it came from is often where it sleeps, and often where it was hurt—so it tells us where to look, and where the snare may still be. If it has moved off, tell us which direction and how long ago.
Ways to reach us
Adopting a dog or cat
Email our rehoming team. They can talk you through what is involved and which of our animals might suit your household.
Donations and general enquiries
Gift Aid, regular giving, corporate support, press, or anything else that is not urgent. Email is much the best way to reach us.
中文聯絡 · Chinese assistance
If you would rather speak or write in Chinese, contact Judy, who runs our Taiwan operations.
Calling us
The number below is answered at any hour for emergencies in Taiwan. For anything else, please call during Taiwan working hours—we are 8 hours ahead of the UK. From outside Taiwan, dial the international format.
Where we are
We run three no-kill sanctuaries, all in Sanzhi District, New Taipei City, in the hills of Taiwan's north coast. Visits are by appointment only—please call or email before travelling, as our teams are often out on rescues.
The deN
Dianzi Village, Sanzhi District
A 3.3-acre former tree farm with a pond, rebuilt here in 2021 after the original site was lost.
The Cats' Cradle
Maochang Village, Sanzhi District
A house converted into a rescue and rehoming centre for cats, created in 2019.
This is also the registered office of our Taiwanese association, 社團法人台灣愛克特動物重生救援協會. Post for the Taiwan association should come here rather than to our UK office.

Other ways to help
If you were looking for a way to support the animals rather than to ask us something, these are the two that help most.
