Welcome to Cats Protection Harrogate & District

Cat adoption in Harrogate

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in Harrogate? Adopting a cat or kitten from Cats Protection Harrogate & District means that your new friend wil benefit from the experience, skill and care expected from the UK’s largest cat welfare charity. 

Rescue cats and kittens need loving, safe homes and patient owners who understand they may take time to settle and bond. Their independent nature means affection often comes on their own terms, which can be very rewarding. Every rescue cat deserves an owner who prioritises their wellbeing, comfort, and happiness.

During the process of adopting a cat from us, we’ll consider everything from your potential pet’s personality and how this fits with your lifestyle, to your home environment – creating the perfect match for both cat and owner and the start of a wonderful feline friendship. Find out more about the adoption process.

Our cat adoption fees are:

• Kittens up to one year old: £120
• Cats under 10 years: £90
• Cats over 10 years: £75
• Bonded pairs: £150

We also run a Direct Homing scheme, where cats stay with their current owner until a new loving home is found. Cats available through the Harrogate and District Branch are listed below; to adopt, please enquire via their listing.

All cats are treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered when age-appropriate. Kittens under four months are not neutered, but a neutering voucher is provided to the new owner to ensure this is completed.
