 Adoption Fee increase!
Fees are now £100 for adult cats and £120 for kittens
This is the minimum that we can raise it, whilst still being able to care for needy cats. Sadly, the cost of living has forced us to take this step.

Can you help us to help Ava?
Just Giving for Ava
Ava is a beautiful cat who came into care here at Oxford Cats Protection because it was felt she was struggling to adjust to changes in her home when a new cat was introduced and a baby was born. When she arrived with us, Ava was taken to the local vets used by the branch and after an abdominal scan and X-Ray it was discovered that she had stones in her bladder. As a result, she is now booked in to have surgery to remove these stones and hopefully this will resolve the problem and make her feel a lot more comfortable.
The cost of the operation is approximately £1100, this is a large bill for our branch so any support you can give will make such a difference. Anything raised above the target amount will go towards caring for other cats like Ava here at Oxford branch.

CAT OF THE MONTH
 SOOTY
SOOTY is four years old, and got lost from his family when he was nine months old. He was a stray for three years, before coming to Cats Protection. Sadly, his former family could not have him back, so he needs a new forever home. He is a bit timid, but once he gets to know you, he loves to sit by you, and sleep on your bed. Sooty does not mind being left alone during the day, but is ready to play and love you when you get home.
Could you be the right person for Sooty?

In March, we safely rehomed 10 cats and 5 kittens
Where are they now?
Why not catch up with some of our Cats of the Month and find out the next part of their story?
So fat, in 2024, we have rehomed 31 cats and 18 kittens |
Volunteers needed!
We have a lot of volunteer opportunites available - take a look and see if any of them would suit you!
We are a flexible and friendly team, based in our own homes as we do not have a centre. We would love to hear from you!

Despite the rising cost of living, caring for our cats does not stop.
 As a nation, we’ve rarely appreciated our cats more. They’re here for us when we’re feeling worried or lonely, here to distract us and help the days pass and here as a great comfort and source of joy.
Can you donate £18 today and help with the cost of feeding, treating, looking after and loving one of the cats in our care for another day?
Our cats are here for us so please help us be #HereForTheCats. Please supportour Special Coronavirus Appeal and donate now.

At the moment we are running a Facebook Marketing campaign to try and bolster our funds during these difficult times when our normal fundraising activities are curtailed. So far we have managed to sell a range of donated goods which has been a great success. However, we are in need of some good quality donations to help continue these fundraising activities over the next few months. If you have anything that is new/nearly new that you could donate to our cause it would be very much appreciated!
In particular we would love:
- Toys
- Craft items
- Home décor items
- Toiletries (must still be sealed)
- Household items
We are unable to accept books, DVDs, CDs and any items with blades or sharp implements.

From time to time we are asked to help reduce the size of cat colonies in the Oxfordshire area. This means we go out trapping cats which then need a good home.
We are looking, in particular, for farmers, smallholders or stables who may need good hunters to help with any vermin issues. All the new owners would need to do is give the cats somewhere to shelter and put out some food for them.
All trapped cats will be neutered and have a thorough vet check before they are moved on.
If you are interested please contact the Oxfordshire branch of CP on 01235221147 or email enquiries@oxford.cats.org.uk |

| Established in 1988, we work through a network of fosterers, who provide temporary accommodation for needy cats until safe, loving, permanent homes can be found for them. The fosterers are supported by other volunteers who concentrate on fund-raising.
Cats Protection asks adopters for an adoption fee of £100 when offering a home to a cat or kitten as they are all vet-checked, micro-chipped and receive their first vaccinations before going to their new homes and, if old enough, are neutered. If you feel able to make a donation on top of that fee, it would, of course, be gratefully received. We know times are hard so thank you if you decide to give a loving home to one of our cats
