The aims of Cats Protection are :-

   1. To rescue stray and unwanted cats and kittens and rehabilitate and rehome them where possible
   2. To encourage the neutering of cats not required for breeding
   3. To inform the public on the care of cats and kittens

Preston Branch has fourteen volunteer fosterers and 22 foster pens. Because of the huge demand for spaces, we have to use a waiting list system for cats needing our help. Every time we rehome a cat, we have another one waiting for that place. We are always full to capacity. Whenever a cat is adopted from us, the new owner has the satisfaction of knowing that they have helped that cat, and the next cat in that pen.

We are one of the most successful branches in the country for neutering. Our neutering volunteer is Val Chew, and with help from other volunteers, the support of local vets, and financial help from the National Cat Centre's neutering voucher scheme, she has organised the neutering of 450 cats in two months so far in 2012.

Volunteers from Preston Branch are available to give talks to groups in the area that we cover, from school reception classes to pensioners' social groups.

We cover the PR1 - PR7, and the PR25/PR26 postcode areas.
