Welcome to Cats Protection North Hertfordshire

Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity. Our vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs. 

We form part of Cats Protection, which is made up of local volunteer teams (like ours), support shops and adoption centres across the UK. Cats Protection North Hertfordshire formed in the year 2000. Our cats and kittens are health-checked, vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.

Our team covers the following postcodes: SG1, SG2, SG3, SG4, SG5, SG6, SG7, SG9 and some areas of SG8.

Cats Protection has simple and clear objectives to help cats:

Homing - Finding good homes for cats in need 

Information - Improving people’s understanding of cats and their care 

We never put a healthy cat to sleep and aim to find a loving home for every cat in our care no matter how long it takes.

We have a very small team of fosterers, some with outdoor cat pens, others fostering indoors in a spare room or whole house foster if they have no other pets. We are only able to accommodate so many cats and kittens at any one time.

If you live within North Hertfordshire and would like to adopt a cat, become a fosterer, or have some time to spare to volunteer, take a look at those sections of the website and please do get in touch as we would love to hear from you!

Cat adoption in North Hertfordshire

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat? During the process of adopting a cat from us, we will 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.

The Adoption Fee is £100 per adult cat and £120 per kitten up to the age of 6 months.  We are no longer offering discounts for a pair of cats/kittens or for elderly cats.

If you see a cat that you would like to adopt, please read our Adoption Procedure by clicking the button.

Support Cats Protection North Hertfordshire

None of our vital work would be possible without you. There are many ways you can be there for cats and kittens in North Hertfordshire.

Except for a discretionary grant from the National Cat Centre at the beginning of each year, we are completely self-funding.  The number of cats and kittens we can help is entirely dependent on how much money our Fundraising Team is able to raise, how many donations we receive, and how many people can volunteer their time to get involved.

Volunteer at Cats Protection North Hertfordshire

Without volunteers, Cats Protection North Hertfordshire Branch simply would not exist. Our amazing, friendly volunteers are a diverse group with a shared love of cats who fit volunteering around their home lives and personal commitments. 

We are looking for further committed fosterers, both to accommodate outdoor and indoor as well as volunteers to help in all sorts of areas.

We are often looking to welcome new volunteers to join our brilliant Team. As well as meeting great people and making an incredible difference to the cats of North Herts, you will enjoy practical benefits such as discounted pet insurance.
