Welcome to Cats Protection Ely & District

We're here to support cats and kittens in Ely & District, covering postcodes: CB6, CB7, and parts of CB8.

We're a small team of dedicated, cat-loving volunteers. Our cats and kittens are fostered by our volunteers at their homes. At any one time we usually have between 20 - 40 cats in care. As well as looking after the cats and kittens in our care, we also:

  • Take cats and kittens in for rehoming
  • Run a neutering scheme to support people with low income with getting their cat neutered
  • Support local people with lost and found advice
  • Provide support and advice - we are always just a phone call or an email away
  • Fundraise and accept donations to improve the lives of cats

You can find out more about the work of Cats Protection here.

Supporting Cats:

If you are based in Ely & District and are thinking about rehoming your cat, we’re here to help. Please get in touch with us on 07785 418064 if you need to.

We are proud to share that in 2025 we found homes for 426 cats and kittens.

We are also extremely happy to share that in 2025 for the first time ever, we didn't have to buy any cat food because of kind and generous donations from the public - thank you!

Adopt a cat in Ely & District

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in the Ely & District area?

We always have cats and kittens in our care looking for loving homes. To see cats currently available, please check our website and regularly visit our Facebook page, where kittens are advertised when ready for rehoming. You can register your interest in adopting a young, adult or older cat. We carefully match cats with suitable homes, considering personality, lifestyle and environment. Cats are cared for by volunteers in their own homes and adopters can meet them at their foster home.

Our adoption fees: £95 for kittens under 6 months old and £75 for cats over 6 months old.

If you have any general enquiries about your suitability, or the adoption process, please call us on: 01353 468 134 or email us. We are always happy to hear from people who are thinking about adoption.

Lost and found cats in Ely & District

Have you lost or found a cat in Ely & District? We’re here to help you.

Lost Cats: To report a lost cat in the Ely & District area, please call us on 01353 468 134 or email us. We are able to post lost cats on our Facebook page. If you would like us to do this please email us or send us a message on Facebook with your cats name, description, a clear photo and information about when and where it was last seen. Read our guide about what to do if you've lost your cat.

Found Cats: Most cats are, by nature, inclined to roam the area surrounding their home. You're likely to come across a cat or two on your travels each day and most cats are owned cats who are just out for a walk and have a home nearby. Read our guide about what to do if you find a cat.

Please note: If you find an injured cat please take them to the nearest vets immediately or contact us if you are unable to do so yourself.

Neutering

We run a neutering scheme to support people with a low household income or who are in receipt of benefits with getting their cat neutered and microchipped for just £10. All breeds of cats can be neutered under the scheme. Please email us for more information. We are always happy to hear from people about this.

Contact us

We’re here to support with enquiries within the Ely & District area and are always happy to chat all things cat. Please get in touch if you need to.
