Cats of the Month for SEPTEMBER 2025: VASHTI and ZIGGY

12-year-old Vashti (black and white girl) and 15-year-old Ziggy (white and black boy) have come to us after their owner sadly passed away.  As older cats, they are looking for an experienced owner, patient and gentle, and prepared for vet bills as the inevitable result of aging.  Are you ready to give these golden oldies a serene retirement?

Look out for our October Neutering offer for cat owners on benefits!

In August, 2 cats and 12 kittens were rehomed. 
We currently have 28 cats in care, and 15 on the waiting list. 
So far this year, we have rehomed 37 cats and 27 kittens
We do not have a rehoming centre - all cats in care are living in the homes of our gallant fosterers.
Have you ever thought of fostering? We are running Foster Taster Sessions

Three-year-old Lilly from Reading has been in care on and off since last September. She’s now one of our longest-staying cats, and although we see her potential every day, she's still waiting for the right person to see it too. She’s bold, independent, and doesn’t pretend to be anything she’s not.
Sometimes the most special bonds take time. Could you be the one to give Lilly her fresh start? If so, please contact Reading CP on 0118 940 3005

Run by a small team of dedicated, cat-loving volunteers, we're passionate about improving the lives of cats and kittens in Oxford & District, 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 Oxford & District area,covering postcodes: OX1, OX10, OX11, OX12, OX13, OX14, OX2, OX3, OX33, OX4, OX44, OX49.  You can find out more about the work of Cats Protection here.

Cat adoption in Oxford & District

We have lots of cats waiting for loving homes!  Adopting an adult cat is just as nice as getting a kitten - their personalities are already developed and ready to open up under your loving care to give years of fun and joy.    Experienced owners often love to give an elder cat happy twilight years. Have a look at what cats are currently auditioning for new caregivers!

 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.

There is an adoption fee of £100 per cat or £120 per kitten. All are micro-chipped, vaccinated, treated for parasites and come with 4 weeks PetPlan insurance. All cats and kittens over 5 months are neutered. A voucher towards the cost of neutering younger kittens will be sent to the vet of your choice when the kitten is ready. There may be a small shortfall at some vets, payable by the new owner. If the cat or kitten has not yet had a second, booster vaccination, which must be done 3 weeks after the first, the adopter must arrange and pay for it. 

Cats available for adoption from Oxford & District 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: 01235 221 147 or email us.
