Welcome to Cats Protection Glastonbury & Wells

Cats Protection is a National Cat Rescue and Welfare Charity, taking in lost and unwanted cats and finding new homes for them. We also encourage neutering and advise on general cat welfare problems. 

The Glastonbury & Wells Branch of Cats Protection, covers a largely rural part of Somerset including Shepton Mallet, Wells, Glastonbury, Street, Cheddar, Castle Cary and surrounding area. All of our cats are kept at the homes of volunteer fosterers because we do not have a central cattery. Our branch is committed to making life better for the homeless cats of Somerset. 

We always have friendly cats of all ages for rehoming and often 'feral' (semi-wild) cats which are ideal for farms, stables or smallholdings. We often have kittens in need of homes, especially between May - September. Some cats are re-homed quickly, whilst others need medical care or rehabilitation before new homes can be found. Adults are always vet checked, neutered, wormed, treated for fleas, microchipped and fully vaccinated.

We can have older cats in our care that are looking for a home to see out their twilight years. Please give consideration to these cats as sometimes they can take longer to re-home. Find out more at Golden Oldies.

"Here is the happy proof that the Golden Oldies have so much to give their lucky owners. ANNIE and TIGGY are both 16 years young and are residents at the Bath Retirement Home for Cats. A few months ago ANNIE was on a drip at Rosemary Lodge Vet Hospital for 24 hours with pancreatitis. A week later just look at her with her Cats Protection cat nip pillow! https://youtu.be/XLbvlOSQqTY . This is ANNIE recently enjoying the Spring sunshine... https://youtu.be/jykWt-VMocI . And watch TIGGY too, these older cats are still enjoying life and bringing much joy to their owner https://youtu.be/mtsMWKb9M84 ."


There may be some cats on our website that are advertised on behalf of their owners. They are not in our care but can be re-homed directly from the original owner. Go to the Direct Homing page to view these cats.

You can now read about the many cats that have been adopted from our branch over the years, click on Success Stories. If you have never owned a cat and are thinking about it, then do take a look at the comments or get in contact with us for some advice. We are sure you would not be disappointed to welcome one of our moggies into your life and your home.
