Cats Protection’s Bridgend Adoption Centre has been called in to help two very sick kittens that had been sold online for £360. They were advertised by a private seller as being eight weeks old but when their new owners got them home, they quickly realised that something was wrong.

If you’re looking for a new feline friend, we would of course advise you to adopt instead of buying online. Cats Protection has thousands of cats waiting for new owners, and you can be sure that they have been well cared-for and received all their necessary health checks before you take them home.

The Pet Advertising Advisory Group (PAAG) is calling on the public to join the fight against bad pet adverts, reporting anything suspicious they find while browsing online classified pages directly to the sites.

At the weekend Cats Protection’s Chief Executive Peter Hepburn spoke at a Eurogroup for Animals event calling on the European Parliament to take action for pets.

As a volunteer assisting various feline rescues throughout the UK, I’m noticing more and more pedigrees being taken in through their doors and I think this is because people are so overwhelmed by a specific type of cat’s appearance that they may not think about the needs of that breed.
