What we do

Carmarthenshire branch was started in 2012, we are a group of volunteers working well together as a team to help cats in the local area. We are a small team and are always looking for new volunteers with a hands on approach to join us. 

In the Carmarthenshire area there is a large number of cats and kittens requiring our help, at Cats Protection we aim to help as many of these cats as possible whether it is through neutering, taking in and rehoming or offering advice to owners. By bringing more volunteers on board with us we will be able to help more and improve the wellbeing of all cats in the area.

One issue that can be tackled, is neutering cats. We are currently working alongside the RSPCA to run a scheme called Pan Wales which is active in the Carmarthenshire area. The scheme allows members of the public who are on low income, or claim benefits/tax credits can get their cats neutered and microchipped for only £5. There are a number of vets in Carmarthenshire participating on the scheme so we recommend checking with local vets to make sure.

For members of the public who are out of our postcode area, Cats Protection can help by providing neutering vouchers please refer to the national number 03000 12 12 12. 

We are also hoping to put together a team of volunteers to help with neutering the feral cat population in the area. This involves using humane traps to catch cats from farms, small holdings etc. and taking them to the vet to be neutered and all other neccessary treatments completed before returning them back.

One of Cats Protection's main aims is to provide education to the public to help create a world where all cats have an understanding of their needs. See more here.
