Welcome to Cats Protection Canterbury

We’re here to support cats and kittens in Canterbury, covering postcodes: CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT5, and CT6.

Run by a small group of passionate, cat-loving volunteers, we’re dedicated to improving the lives of cats and kittens in Canterbury and surrounding areas. We work to find loving new homes for local cats in our care, offering support with neutering and lost and found cats, as well as general education and awareness within the Canterbury and surrounding area. You can find out more about the work of Cats Protection here.

Cat adoption in Canterbury

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in Canterbury? 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.

Cats available for adoption from Cats Protection Canterbury are featured below. To express your interest in a particular cat, please enquire via their listing. If you have any general enquiries about your suitability, or the adoption process, please email our Adoption Team Leader at: adoptionteamleader@canterbury.cats.org.uk.

Please note that we do not have a main shelter all of our cats are placed in foster homes until we can find them a new home. This means we do not have a central venue for people to come and see the cats in our care. Any enquiries please email us.

We have an adoption fee of £100 per cat or £120 per kitten under six months old.

Have a look at the Our Adoption Fee Explained information on the Cats Protection main website to find out more.
