Adopt a cat

HANDS FREE REHOMING - our homing process has changed in line with Government and DEFRA guidelines.
A guide to our new hands-free homing process
We’re keen to help as many cats as possible, both during the current crisis and beyond. Offering our cats a home will help to free up more space to take in emergency cases.
We have put in extensive procedures to make sure that our homing process is in line with current government guidance, without putting adoptees or our volunteers at risk.
Here is our guide to adopting a cat using hands-free homing
-
Adopt. Once you have reserved your cat, you’ll be sent paperwork to sign and you can make a further telephone appointment with your chosen cats fosterer. In this call, you’ll have a chance to discuss everything you need to know about your cat. You’ll then pay an adoption fee of £75, usually by bank transfer.
-
Bringing your cat home. Once this is finalised, we’ll arrange for a volunteer driver to bring your cat safely to your home. Social distancing measures as per Government guidelines, will need to be observed.
Please scroll down to see the list of cats in our care.
Before any cat in our care is rehomed it has been examined by a veterinary surgeon, been vaccinated against flu and enteritis, treated against fleas, roundworm and tapeworm and any sick cats have been blood tested for FIV and FeLV.
If the cat has not been neutered before its time in our care, we will ensure this is done before rehoming and is also microchipped.
Please use the cat enquiry form to register your interest in a cat, but remember that our Branch is run by volunteers who often have full-time jobs. Your enquiry will be passed on to our Homing Volunteer who will contact you as soon as possible.
Cats Protection asks adopters for a fee when rehoming a cat. If you feel able to make a donation on top of the fee that would, of course, be gratefully received. We know times are hard so thank you for your decision to rehome a CP cat! On average, each cat can cost the branch more than £350 before it is ready for rehoming.

CHANGES FOR HOMING IF YOU ARE RENTING - please make sure you have a copy of your landlords written permission for you to have cats in the property. This is from January 2010 a legal requirement before homing a cat/kitten from Cats Protection.
