Chris' Cat Rescue Hornsby is a small, community-based cat rescue operating in the Hornsby area of New South Wales, Australia. Run by volunteers, the organization takes in stray, abandoned, and surrendered cats and kittens, providing them with veterinary treatment, desexing, vaccination, microchipping, and socialization before placing them in suitable adoptive homes. Their website and public materials refer to the group as “Chris’ Cats Hornsby,” while the official ABN entity name is “Chris’ Cat Rescue Hornsby.”([chriscatshornsby.com.au](https://chriscatshornsby.com.au/how-you-can-help/?utm_source=openai))

A charge from “CHRISCATSHORNSBY” on a card statement is likely related to a donation, adoption fee, foster-related costs, fundraising event purchase, or other contribution processed for Chris' Cat Rescue Hornsby. Because they rely heavily on community support, they may process both one-off and recurring donations, and some banks compress the descriptor into a single string like “CHRISCATSHORNSBY” rather than showing the full charity name. In some cases, small test or authorization amounts may appear temporarily if you donated online.

If you have questions about this charge, start by checking your email for receipts from Chris’ Cat Rescue Hornsby or confirmations from their online donation form or payment processor. Compare the transaction date and amount against any recent donations, adoption applications, or fundraising purchases. If you still can’t identify the payment, use the contact details on their official website to reach the rescue directly and provide the date, amount, and last four digits of your card (but never your full card number). If the charge seems fraudulent and the rescue cannot locate a matching payment, contact your card issuer to dispute the transaction and request a new card number.
