Welcome to Cats Protection Holsworthy, Bideford & Okehampton Branch

We're here to support cats and kittens in Holsworthy, Bideford & Okehampton, covering postcodes: EX20, EX21, EX22, EX38, EX39.

Our branch started in 2001 and includes the towns of Bideford, Great Torrington, Holsworthy, Hartland, Highhampton and Okehampton. The branch has a dedicated team of volunteers who are passionate about cat welfare and give up their time to care for cats in our local area. We don't have a homing centre, instead all cats are cared for by a team of fosterers in outside pens or their own homes until loving forever homes can be found.

We're passionate about improving the lives of cats and kittens in Holsworthy, Bideford & Okehampton, working to find loving new homes for local cats in our care, and lost and found cats, as well as general education and awareness within the Holsworthy, Bideford & Okehampton area. You can find out more about the work of Cats Protection here.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, hearing about our work and maybe even falling for one of the cats that needs a settled home and lots of love.

Cat adoption in Holsworthy, Bideford & Okehampton

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in Holsworthy, Bideford & Okehampton? 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.

Cats available for adoption from Holsworthy, Bideford & Okehampton 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: 03453 712 717 or email us.

Our current adoption fee is £85 for a cat over 6 months and £105 for a kitten, which enables us, as a charity, to help even more cats. We do not charge for true farm cats that are going to work as mousers but appreciate a donation to cover our ever rising vet bills.

Once a cat or kitten has been matched to you a reservation fee of £50 is required. This is non refundable.

Please note, if you are in rented accommodation, a tenancy letter is required from your landlord or housing association giving permission for you to keep a cat at the property.  It must also state how many animals are allowed at the property.  We cannot carry out a home-visit, or reserve a cat before we have this.

You can find out more about adopting a cat from Cats Protection here.
