Welcome to Cats Protection Cotswolds Cat Centre
As the UK's leading cat welfare charity we are dedicated to helping cats and kittens across the North Cotswolds, Evesham and the surrounding areas. We cover postcodes: WR10, WR11, WR12, B49, B50, GL55, GL56, the northern areas of GL54 and some parts of CV37.
Our friendly staff at Cotswolds Cat Centre are dedicated to helping you find your new feline family member. We've found that the cats in our care are much happier and calmer when they have less visitors, so we operate on an appointment-only basis. To find out more about our adoption process or to view available cats, visit our adoption page
We also offer the following services:
- Rehoming your cat is never an easy decision. If you find yourself in a position where you need to relinquish your cat, our team will guide you through the process with compassion and sensitivity. Our spaces are very limited and so we operate a waiting list which is managed by priority. We will advise you how long the wait time is when you contact us. In order to be added to our waiting list, you must phone us or send in a contact form. Please do not turn up to the Cat Centre expecting us to take your cat in immediately. We do not have space to accommodate cats without prior arrangement.
- Neutering is the only effective way to reduce the number of unwanted cats in the UK. Our recommended neutering age for your cat is 4 months old. We are currently unable to issue neutering vouchers from this Cat Centre. If you need help financially visit our neutering assistance page for more information and eligibility requirements.
- Lifeline is a free and confidential fostering service for people fleeing domestic abuse. They can rest assured their cat will be taken care of until they can be safely reunited. Lifeline can be contacted on 0300 012 0284
- Supported Cats is a free service aimed at preventing owners having to give up their cats due to circumstantial changes or unwanted behaviours. We work closely with owners to put a specific plan in place within the home, to address the root cause of the unwanted behaviour and hopefully resolve it, so that cats and their owners can live harmoniously together. We can also assist with multi-cat households where the owner is feeling overwhelmed, and provide advice with other situational changes. Please contact us or call us on 01386 833 343 if you would like more information.
- Community Kitty enables us to provide donated cat food to support owners who may find themselves in a position where they are concerned about having to give up their cat due to financial struggles. We have partnered with Pershore Community Cupboard and Broadway Community Foodbank to help cat owners in the area access food for their cat during times of hardship.
- Feral Cats are the same species of cat as our pet cats, but are not socialised to humans or the domestic environment. This means they live and behave like wild animals. Feral cats live alone or in groups called colonies, and are found in towns, cities and rural areas. They are equally protected in law as domestic cats. Simply removing them isn't a long-term solution - a new colony will often move in. The best option is to neuter all of the feral cats within as short a time frame as possible, reducing the size of the colony. At Cotswolds Cat Centre we offer a Trap, Neuter and Return scheme (TNR) for feral cats in the local community. Please contact us on 01386 833 343 or email us for more information.
- Cat Guardians is aimed at giving peace of mind to owners who are concerned about what might happen if they were to pass away before their cat. Owners must be pre-registered with the service.
We are also here to help you with lost and found cats, as well as being a community hub for any cat-related help and advice or general education. You can find out more about the work of Cats Protection here.
