What we do
Our vision is to ensure that every cat is given the chance of a life where it will be treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs.
Cats Protection has three simple and clear objectives to help cats:
Cats Protection branches such as Caterham, Redhill & East Surrey are run by volunteers and cover their local areas. Cats for rehoming are cared for by fosterers, from their own homes. Branches fundraise to support their work and welcome new volunteers.
