Welcome to Cats Protection Cambridge

Cats Protection Cambridge is run entirely by volunteers and is dependent on the generosity and goodwill of our supporters. We’re here to support cats and kittens in Cambridge city (CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4 and CB5) and the surrounding villages (Some of CB8, most of CB21, CB22, CB23, CB24, CB25, and SG8.)

Run by a small group of passionate, cat-loving volunteers, we’re dedicated to improving the lives of cats and kittens in our area. We work to find loving new homes for local cats in our care, offer support with neutering and microchipping, lost and found cats, and cared-for community cats, as well as general education and awareness within the Cambridge area. 

NEWS: Don't miss our Fayre on 29th November and Raffle tickets now on sale

We'd love to hear from new fosterer volunteers to join the team who look after cats in our care.

Cats Protection Cambridge does not have a shelter. All the cats in our care are looked after by a team of dedicated fosterers in their own homes or purpose-built pens in gardens until we find new homes for them. In 2024 we homed 109 cats and kittens into loving homes.

Cats Protection Cambridge strongly encourages neutering of cats. For information about neutering in the local area, and our neutering vouchers for those on low incomes, please contact us on 01223 236188. 

Neutering Scheme

There are lots of ways to support the work of our team. If you shop online, then please join Easyfundraising and they'll give a donation to Cats Protection Cambridge at no extra cost to you when you make an online purchase. A donation to help the work of our team can be made online or our Amazon wish list contains items for our foster cats that we'd be really grateful to receive.

Cat adoption in Cambridge

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in Cambridge? 

Contact us by phone on 01223 528312 and please leave a message if you get the answer phone.

Cats Protection Cambridge volunteers will visit your home to talk you through the homing process before inviting you to meet your purrfect match of a cat in foster care. We’ll consider everything from your potential pet’s personality and how this fits with your lifestyle, to your home environment.

Our adoption fee is £75 for a cat and £95 for a kitten. Our cats are rehomed with vaccinations, microchip, neutering, initial flea and worm treatment, and 4 weeks free Petplan insurance, all of which could cost around £250 per cat. We are happy to provide follow up advice after all adoptions.

Cat flap required: all our rescue cats need to be homed where they have free access to explore a safe garden via a cat flap. Cats have a natural tendency to explore, so allowing them free access to the outside gives them mental stimulation and reduces stress. Benefits include: exercise, variety, ability to express natural behaviours and space outside the household when needed. Please also note that we do not home cats on or near busy or main roads or railway tracks.

Volunteer at Cats Protection Cambridge

Without volunteers, Cats Protection Cambridge simply wouldn't exist. Our amazing, friendly volunteers are a diverse group with a shared love of cats who fit volunteering around their home lives and personal commitments. We are always looking to increase our pool of volunteers, who may be able to help in some way, however small.

Do you have a few hours to spare? Would you like to make a difference? We would love to hear from you. Help is needed in the following areas:

Fosterer volunteers

We are looking for cat lovers who have the time and patience to look after a cat or cats until they find their forever home.

Event helpers

We are also looking for Fundraising Event Helpers for fundraising and awareness-raising events in the Cambridge area.

Even if you can only spare 2 hours at a time, this could really help us to broaden the number of events we hold or attend.

To apply for a volunteer position, please email enquiries@cambridge.cats.org.uk or apply on one of our adverts below.

Lost and found cats in Cambridge

Lost a cat? To add a cat to our register please email full details including a photo to enquiries@cambridge.cats.org.uk, or call 07889 976463. 

Found a cat? Check the lost cats carousel below, and email full details including a photo to enquiries@cambridge.cats.org.uk, or call 07889 976463. Please consider whether the cat is definitely lost or stray, or whether it belongs to a neighbour. Cats are inquisitive and like to explore their neighbourhood, and it's possible that a cat that is hanging around and meowing near your door does have a home!
