Cat adoption in Aberdeen

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in Aberdeen? During the process of adopting a cat from us, we will 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.

Our cats currently looking for homes are listed below. To express interest in a particular cat, please enquire via their individual listing. If no cats are listed on the website, please make a general enquiry on the Contact Us Form below with as much information about yourself, your home set-up and why you are looking to adopt a cat.

Adoptions include a home visit (in person or by video call). Paperwork and proof of address are completed by email. Once approved and matched, the adoption fee - £100 per cat / £120 per kitten - is paid in advance by bank transfer.

All Cats Protection cats are health checked, neutered/spayed, microchipped, worm and flea treated, and given their first vaccination (the second vaccination, 3–4 weeks later, is included in the fee). Each cat is also assessed for personality before being rehomed.

For general enquiries about adoption or suitability, please call 0759 400 7139 or email enquiries@aberdeen.cats.org.uk.

Neutering vouchers

Neutering is a surgical procedure which prevents female cats becoming pregnant, and male cats making females pregnant. Generally, it is recommended to neuter healthy domestic cats from four months of age (16 weeks). Always seek advice from your vet for each individual cat. Find out more about neutering your cat.

The cost of the operation varies according to what part of the country you live in and the vet you use. The average neutering cost for a male cat in our area is between £100 and £150 and the average cost for a female cat is between £120 and £200. Your vet will be happy to give you a quote before the operation takes place.

Cats Protection Aberdeen offers financial assistance vouchers to domestic cat owners on benefits (Universal Credit number required) or low incomes (proof required). Our 'Snip n Chip' (neuter/microchip) campaign runs throughout the year and is only valid at Town and Country Vets in Aberdeen. Vouchers are sent directly to the vet.

Call 07594 007 139 (leave a voicemail) providing your name, address and contact telephone number.

Contact us

We are here to support with enquiries within the Aberdeen area.

Aberdeen - Contact Details

Please leave a message with as much information as possible including your name, address, contact numbers and details of your enquiry.

Enquiries about having your cat taken into care: We have a waiting list in place and cats come into care as spaces and veterinary appointments become available. If you find yourself making the difficult decision to re-home your cat, please provide as much information about your cat's personality, behaviour and health at the outset. This speeds up the re-homing process and reduces their stress being in care longer than necessary. Please also send us any cute pictures and videos of your cat at home.

To rehome your cat, send an email to enquiries@aberdeen.cats.org.uk with your name, address, telephone numbers, your cat’s name, your cat’s date of birth, veterinary practice name, whether your cat is neutered/spayed, whether your cat is microchipped, vaccination dates, date of last flea and worm treatment, and any pre-existing medical conditions.

Other local contacts

Please remember we are all volunteers at Cats Protection Aberdeen and most of us work full-time, have families and pets of our own. If you do not receive an immediate response, a volunteer will call back when they are free.
