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.

Enquire 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.

Please be polite and considerate when interacting with the Volunteers.
Thank you

Giving up your cat:
We understand things happen in life and personal circumstances change. These situations mean you find yourself making the very difficult decision to re-home your cat. To help us find the best possible new home and perfect match for your cat's needs, please provide as much information about your cat's personality, behaviour and health at the outset. This speeds up the re-homing process for your cat and reduces their stress being held in care longer than is necessary. Having lots of cute pictures and videos of your cat in your home setting looking relaxed, as well as a short story describing them to potential new families enables the re-homing process to move along quickly.

Please include: Your name, Address, Telephone Numbers. Your Cat's Name, Date of Birth, Veterinary Practice name, Is your cat Neutered/Spayed? Microchipped? Vaccination Dates? Flea/Worm last treatment date? Any pre-existing medical conditions?
