Cat adoption in Forest of Dean

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in the Forest of Dean? 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.

Every effort is made to match the new owner & cat, however, should you fail to bond with your cat or you feel that they are not content with you, we will be happy to take them back & try to find you a more suitable one.

Stray & feral cats in our care are tested to make sure they are not positive for FIV or FeLV. All cats for adoption are vaccinated, neutered & microchipped. This costs us around £200 per cat/kitten & if you adopt one of them, we ask for an adoption fee of  £100 for a kitten, £80 for an adult cat or £40 for a 14+ senior puss.

Cats available for adoption from Cats Protection Forest of Dean Branch 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 call us on:  01594 841511 or email us.

KITTENS...!

We have a number of kittens that will shortly be ready to leave us.

If you can offer kittens a home, please contact us by:
   email: enquiries@forestofdean.cats.org.uk
   phone: 01594 841 511 ...& we will call you back.

All kittens are fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped. and have had flea and worm treatments.

WORKING CATS

We are aware of a number of feral cats who need to be moved on to new homes where they will pay the rent by keeping the rodent population under control. They are not cuddly friendly cats who will sit on your lap but wild creatures who will work for you in exchange for regular meals & a dry place to sleep.

If you can offer a pair of these cats a home, please contact us by:
   email: enquiries@forestofdean.cats.org.uk
   phone: 01594 841 511 ...& we will call you back.

The cats have all been neutered.

Lost and found cats in Forest of Dean

Have you lost or found a cat in the Forest of Dean? We’re here to help you. To report a lost cat, or if you have found a cat in the Forest of Dean area, please contact us via our Facebook page, where we do all we can to reunite lost cats with their owners. Please send us a description of the cat, with good photos, and details of where it was lost or found.

What to do if your cat is missing:

• Contact us via our Facebook page
• Check that the cat microchip contact details are up-to-date.
• Ring around the local vets.
• Walk all around your locality, look on road verges, under hedges & in woodland. Call out & rattle the food dish or a box of biscuits. Call out yourself as the cat may be nervous of strange voices.
• Use Facebook & Nextdoor social media sites to advertise the cat as missing.
• Call on neighbours or put a flyer through their doors with a description & photo of the missing cat. Ask if you can look in their garage, shed, greenhouse, outbuildings, and caravan.
• Ask neighbours if they have CCTV security systems or wildlife cameras in their gardens & if they have seen a stray cat.
• Put up notices in your local shops & supermarkets, village & parish noticeboards. Include local bus stops & outside nearby schools.
• Ask the postman & the milkman. They are wonderful sources of local information!
• Place an ad in the local papers under "Pets" or "Lost". Look in the "Found" columns.

FINALLY ...when your search is completed, please take down all of your missing posters. This frees up space for the next lost cat & reduces complaints about fly-posting.
