Adopting a cat or kitten

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in Bedford & Biggleswade? During the process of adopting a cat from us, we’ll 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.

  • Please be aware we do not home our cats on or near busy roads or railway lines, unless they are used to them.
  • Should you live in rented, or shared ownership, accommodation we will require written permission from the landlord to have cats in the property. This will be required prior to the home visit.
  • If you are moving home in the next 4-6 weeks, please contact us after you have moved as we will need to complete the visit in the home the cat will be living in.
  • If you are going on holiday within the next 4-6 weeks, please contact us when you have returned from holiday, as we are unable to reserve cats for more than a few days.

Adoption Fees

The Bedford & Biggleswade Branch's adoption fees for cats and kittens are as follows:

  • Adult cats and kittens over 6 months - £75
  • Kittens 6 months and under - £95.

Lost and found cats in Bedford & Biggleswade

Introduction

Losing a cat can be a very distressing experience; and finding a homeless cat wandering around can sometimes be distressing too, particularly if the found cat is injured, perhaps from a road traffic accident. We therefore offer a free Lost and Found service for Bedford and the surrounding area (postcodes MK40 - MK45 and SG15 -SG19), whereby we keep a register of all cats reported to us as lost or found, and try to re-unite them with their owner.

Reducing the Risks

The single best thing you can do to avoid losing your cat is to ensure that your cat carries suitable identification. A microchip can be very useful - vets can read them, and we also have a microchip reader. It is also worth considering a collar of some kind, complete with up to date identity tag.

Reporting a Cat to Us

If you would like to report a lost or found cat, please email us at lostandfound@bedford.cats.org.uk. Please remember, we only cover postcodes MK40 - MK45 and SG15 - SG19. For other areas, please click here to find your local branch.
