How we're helping cats across the UK

Cats Protection plays a crucial role in improving the lives of all cats across the country, including the often-overlooked feral cat population.  All across the UK, Cats Protection centres and teams are run by small teams of dedicated employees and volunteers. Passionate about improving the lives of cats and kittens in their community, they work to find loving new homes for cats in their care, provide support with neutering, assist with lost and found cats, and raise awareness through education and outreach. Your support will help them continue this vital work.
