Urgent – Foster Homes Needed

We urgently need more volunteer fosterers to care for the many unwanted cats and kittens in our area. Sadly, we simply don’t have enough foster spaces to help them all.

We’ll provide everything you need - food, litter, equipment and vet care. All we ask is a little of your time and a safe space in your home, such as a spare room. If you can help, please call our Catline on 01268 285778.

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.

Neutering

Did you know:

  • A female cat can breed from five months old and have up to three litters a year, with five or six kittens per litter?
  • Male cats can be fertile from four months old and may impregnate hundreds of females each year
  • Unneutered males are more prone to fight injuries and road accidents?
  • Neutered cats are generally healthier, happier, and live longer?

There are around 8 million pet cats in the UK, plus at least 1 million feral cats. In the Basildon area, we receive constant requests to take in unwanted cats and kittens.

If you’re on a means-tested benefit, State Pension, or low income, you may qualify for our Assisted Neutering Scheme. 

To apply, please call 01268 543283 (Mon–Fri 9am–5.30pm, Sat 9am–2pm) and leave your details with our message service.

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