Cat adoption in Basildon, Brentwood & District

 

If you are interested in adopting please phone our Catline 01268 285778 where your details will be taken by our Messaging Service and passed on to the Branch to call you back or use the Adopt a Cat contact button on the cats details to contact us.

(Please do not message us on facebook as this will delay your application)

STAGE 1:Our Homing Officer will take further details and will go through our Homing procedure more thoroughly, discuss with you payment of our Adoption Fee of £70  for cats (7 months and over) and £90  for kittens, and put you in touch with the fosterer of the cat or kittens that you are interested in.

STAGE 2: The fosterer will be able to discuss in more detail the cat they have personally been looking after with you.  Most of our prehome visits are now 'virtual' where we ask for photos of your property by email or Whats App and visits to see our cats are now available. We ask that you send photos of the room where you will keep the cat in the first few days and your garden , if applicable. The fosterer will also be able to advise what food and litter the cat prefers and reserve the cat for a maximum of 5 days.

STAGE 3: Once you have adopted your new  cat/kitten, the fosterer will phone you after 3 days to check that the cat has settled in and diary for more calls.  You will also be able to contact the branch by phone to our Catline or email adoption@basildon.cats.org.uk if you have any worries or concerns. 


Due to the high amount of adoption enquiries we are getting for our cats, we will place a reserve on the cat once 4 enquiries have been  received for that cat, to allow us to process those enquiries. To enable our volunteers to apply their time to the benefit of the cats, we will only be able to return calls to the most suitable enquiries, so please do not be offended if we don't call you back.

Volunteer at Cats Protection Basildon, Brentwood & District Branch

We always need additional volunteers to help us locally and there are a number of things which you could do to help us:

Fostering

This involves looking after a rescued cat or kitten(s) until the branch can find him/her a new loving home. You must have a spare room (as we do not allow foster cats to mix with other cats) or no cats of your own, a telephone and transport (essential for visits to the vet etc). Some of our more experienced fosterers have purpose built, heated pens in their gardens.

Fostering is very enjoyable and rewarding but can also have a sad side too as a lot of the cats we take in are strays and inevitably some of them can be unwell or very sick. Very occasionally a foster cat will have to be put to sleep, on veterinary advice. We will support you all the way in this volunteer role.

Interested? Then give us a call on 01268 285 778 to find out more.

Fosterer volunteer

Basildon, Brentwood & District

From elderly moggies to energic kittens, every day across the UK cats and kittens are in need of a temporary place to stay, and lots of love and TLC! We need more fosterers like you to provide a safe, temporary haven for cats and kittens and provide them with everything they need before they get their chance to land on their four paws and make a house a...

Lost and found cats in Basildon, Brentwood & District

Have you lost or found a cat in Basildon, Brentwood & District? We’re here to help you. To report a lost cat, or if you have found a cat in the Basildon, Brentwood & District area, please call us on 01268 285778 or email us

Lost, found and feral cats

Neutering

Did you know?

  • A female cat can start to reproduce from five months old and have up to three litters a year with five or six kittens per litter.
  • Male cats are fertile as early as four months old and each can impregnate hundreds of female cats every year.
  • An unneutered male cat is more likely to be at risk from fight injuries and road accidents.
  • A neutered cat is healthier, happier and more affectionate and undoubtedly will have a longer life.

There are approximately 8 million domesticated cats in the UK and at least a million undomesticated (feral) cats. We do not know how many stray cats there are in the Basildon area, but every year we are asked to take in a never-ending number of unwanted cats and kittens.

If you are on a means  tested benefit, State pension or on a very low income, you may qualify  for our Assisted Neutering Scheme.  To apply, please contact us  on 01268 543283 (Mon- Fri 9 am to 5.30 pm,  Sat 9 am  to 2pm) and give your details to our message service. 

Let’s make every cat a wanted and pampered cat !
