Get Involved
As a charity, we rely solely on the generosity and kindness of the public to enable us to go on caring for cats and kittens.
Our work never stops, so your support is vital to us. From giving your time as a volunteer to leaving a gift in your will, or subscribing to The Cat magazine, anything that you can do is much appreciated.
Alternatively, you can help us by giving a regular gift via Direct Debit or by making a one-off donation
online today.
Thanks for your support!
At Cats Protection we welcome volunteers with open arms,
whether you are young or old, male or female, there's a place for you!
Why become a volunteer? Volunteering is the most worthwhile thing you can ever do. It gives a real sense of achievement, allows the development of new skills and the social possibilities are endless! Most of Cats Protection's work is carried out by volunteers, many of whom have full time jobs. You can do lots of different things at a branch, from hands on work with the cats as a fosterer or feline chauffeur, to public relations or fundraising. If you have a skill then we can use it! All you need to do is get in touch with us. Sound good? If you are tempted to join us, please contact Vanessa on 0845 371 1851. We will be delighted to hear from you. Some of the areas you could help include-
- Transporting cats to the vet and/or return them
- Conducting pre-adoption home visits
- Spend time socialising (laps, cat talk, fussing over and may be a game or two) with the cats in our care in order to maintain human contact
- Fostering (Cat Carers) to temporarily house cats while waiting to be homed -this can be done ina spare room or in a purpose built cat pen (provided) in your garden! All expenses are paid for, and the role gives great satidfaction. Quite simply, we cannot operate without Fosterers!

We are offering you a unique opportunity to sponsor a cat pen for one year. We make our cats as comfortable as possible, give them lots of TLC, good food and veterinary care as required. This can all be extremely expensive. It's not like a real home with their own person/dedicated slave, but a temporary refuge until the right person comes along to offer them a new home. We would welcome your contribution to their well-being. If you would be interested in sponsoring a cat pen , please contact Suze on 01442 214459.
Our pens are used to temporarily home cats that come to us through no fault of their own -
- strays looking for foster homes
- long term cats
- ferals
- cats that people hand in to us because they can't keep them any more e.g. have become allergic to them; had to move to different accommodation where they can't have pets; divorce; made homeless; the cat being bullied by another one in the household, etc. etc.
