Welcome to Cats Protection Preston and East Lancashire Branch. We are a group of unpaid volunteers who work to rescue and rehome stray and abandoned cats and kittens, increase cat neutering in the area, as well as educate the local community about cat welfare to improve their understanding of cats and their care.  The Preston and East Lancashire branch carries out their work in the following postcode areas - BB1 to BB12, BB18, OL13, PR1 to PR7, PR25 and PR26

We are happy to help with advice if you live outside those areas, but cannot give practical help with rehoming or neutering.

Within our area, our volunteers help with advice, issuing cat neutering vouchers to eligible owners, rescuing and rehoming stray, abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens, and fundraising on a continual basis in order to fund our work.

We are not an emergency service, or a veterinary charity. For help with vet bills (other than neutering), please contact the PDSA, RSPCA or Blue Cross. In an emergency, please contact a qualified vet. To report the neglect or abuse of a cat, please contact the RSPCA national helpline on 03000 1234 999.

You can contact us by phone on 01282 922046, by email at enquiries@eastlancs.cats.org.uk or via our contact form on the relevant page of this website.
