Welcome to Cats Protection Framlingham & Saxmundham

We’re here to support cats and kittens in and around the Framlingham & Saxmundham areas, covering postcodes: IP12, IP13, IP15, IP16, IP17, IP18, IP19, IP20, IP21, IP22 & IP23.

Run by a small team of dedicated, cat-loving volunteers, we are dedicated to improving the lives of cats. and kittens in the areas in and around Framlingham & Saxmundham, finding loving new homes for cats in our care, offering support with neutering and lost and found cats, and raising general education and awareness within the Framlingham & Saxmundham area.

Our story: Now approaching our 36th year!

Cats Protection Framlingham & Saxmundham was formed in 1989 by a group of concerned people who were alarmed by the increasing number of abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens in the area. Approval from Cats Protection to form a local team was received in April 1990. Since our formation, we have gone from strength to strength and, on average, now home up to 120 cats and kittens each year and help many more with medical care and neutering programmes. 

Our work is entirely voluntary, and we would not be able to do the important work we do to assist the cats and kittens in our community without the hard work of our committed team of volunteers. The team does not have a purpose-built adoption centre, so all felines in our care are placed in either cat cabins in fosterers' gardens or spare rooms in their homes.

To find out how you can join our team and help us help more cats, see our 'Volunteer' section below.

We have an Amazon Wishlist for donations, which can be found here: Fram & Sax Amazon.

Cat adoption in Framlingham & Saxmundham

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in or around the Framlingham & Saxmundham areas? 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. You can view all of our cats for adoption here and read more about preparing for your new cat here.

Adoption fee: The adoption fee is £75 for an adult cat and £95 for a kitten under six months old*. If a kitten has not been neutered before adoption, a free neutering voucher will be given (to be used at one of our designated vets). *Before re-homing, all our cats and kittens are seen by a vet, given flea and worm treatment, are microchipped, fully vaccinated, and if old enough will be neutered. Adoptions include four weeks of free PetPlan insurance. As you will appreciate, this adoption fee does not cover all these costs.  When an adult cat leaves Cats Protection, the costs will be approximately £200.  A kitten will cost almost the same and sometimes more! We do ask that if you feel able to make a donation on top of the fee that would, of course, be gratefully received.  We can claim Gift Aid on additional donations if you pay tax.  

Home visits: Our team carries out home visits before homing. This is an opportunity for any questions or problems to be discussed. Many of the cats and kittens in the care of our team come from very rural areas which means they may not be suitable for homes in towns or close to busy roads. Important: If you live in rented accommodation, you must have written permission from your landlord to state that you are allowed to have cats in the property. We are unable to home without seeing this permission.

How to express your interest: If you are interested in any of our cats, please use the enquiry button on the cat's profile. You can also email: enquiries@framandsax.cats.org.uk  General enquiries can be made by telephone on 01728 723 499. If we are unable to answer immediately, please leave a message with your name, address, and brief details of your enquiry, and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.

lf you have holiday plans in the next few weeks, please wait to enquire about adopting after you return. Thank you.
