Welcome to Cats Protection North Ayrshire

The branch is here to support cats and kittens in North Ayrshire, and a part of East Ayrshire too. We support cats in the following postcodes: KA11, KA12, KA13, KA14, KA15, KA20, KA21, KA22, KA23, KA24, KA25, KA28, A29, KA30, PA17.

The branch started in 1999 and is run by a small team of dedicated, cat-loving volunteers who are passionate about improving the lives of cats and kittens in North Ayrshire, working hard to find loving new homes for the cats currently in our care. We offer support with neutering and lost and found cats, as well as general education and awareness within the North Ayrshire area. 

The number of cats needing help has risen considerably over the last 4 years. Our waiting list is at an all time high, and the volume of cats coming to us continues to increase. Help us to be there for those cats by adopting a cat or kitten from us. Choose to neuter your own cat instead of letting it have a litter. Volunteering with us can mean many things, from hands on cat care, to working remotely on your laptop. Supporting us financially is also very worthwhile.

Adopt a cat in North Ayrshire

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat ?

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.

Some of the many cats in our care are featured below. To express your interest in a particular cat, please enquire via their listing giving as much information as possible. If you have any general enquiries about your suitability, or the adoption process, please call us on: 0345 371 4218 or email us. 

Our adoption fee is £125 for a cat or a kitten. Adopting a pair of cats or kittens is a £200 total adoption fee.
