Welcome to Cats Protection Cheltenham & Tewkesbury

We’re here to support cats and kittens in Cheltenham and Tewkesbury in the following postcodes: GL20, GL50, GL51, GL52, GL53, GL54.

Run by a small team of dedicated, cat-loving volunteers, we’re dedicated to improving the lives of cats and kittens in Cheltenham and Tewkesbury, working to find loving new homes for local cats in our care. We also give general education and awareness within the Cheltenham and Tewkesbury area.

Microchipping reminder: As of June 10, 2024 it's mandatory in England to microchip cats over 20 weeks old. Owners must keep contact details updated on a compliant database. Failure to comply can lead to a 21-day notice, followed by a fine of up to £500. 

Please ensure that your pets are microchipped as it is a legal requirement. 

Got a gift that's not quite 'you'? Your unwanted gift could make a big difference in a cat’s future.  Our branch is in need of raffle prizes to raise funds for the cats in our care. And your kindness in donating to our branch will be very much appreciated. Items that can make fantastic prizes include: unopened chocolates, toiletry sets, toys, puzzles, gift vouchers, scented candles.

If you do have any donations, please just pop a message to coordinator@cheltenham.cats.org.uk. Thank you!

Adopt a cat in Cheltenham and Tewkesbury

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in Cheltenham and Tewkesbury? 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.

Our adoption fees - £100 for a cat and £120 for a kitten under the age of one year.

When you telephone us on 0345 371 2730 your call will be answered by an independent messaging company who will take your details. You're also welcome to check out our Facebook page. 

Please note: we don't have a central rescue centre. Our welfare facilities consist of dedicated volunteer fosterers, in and around the Cheltenham and Tewkesbury area, caring for cats either in their own home or in specially designed pens in their garden - they spend considerable time making sure the cats are ready for adoption and their new forever homes.
