Support
Awareness
At The CATS Foundation our objective is to make sure that no family affected by Tay-Sachs or Sandhoff disease feels isolated after a diagnosis.
We provide a support network for families affected by Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease. At the charity we also support the research into finding a potential treatment for these diseases by working closely with the researchers and companies. We’re also committed to raising awareness of Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff to the wider national community.

The CATS Foundation made such a difficult time so much easier for our family - we'd be lost without them and the support they gave us.
Nikki
Mum to Ruby
When our son was diagnosed we got so much help from CATS. Without them, I honestly don't know what we would have done without their support.
Emma
Mum to Stanley
Those first few months were so difficult, without the guidance provided by CATS to help us prepare and come to terms with a diagnosis it would have been so tough.
