Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity. Our vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs.
Cats Protection has simple and clear objectives to help cats:-
Homing
Finding good homes for cats in need.
Orkney Islands Branch rehomes in the region of 200 abandoned, stray and unwanted cats and kittens every year!
Neutering
Supporting and encouraging the neutering of domestic, farm and feral cats via our funding scheme (more details available on the FAQ page). We neuter in the region of 500 to 600 cats each year, many of which are on the outer islands here in Orkney with lots of logistical challenges.
