How to donate to our shops

More than a shop

Our Skipton Home & Fashion store will also include a dedicated community space, creating opportunities to connect with local people and share the wider work of Cats Protection.

Our Advocacy, Education, Volunteering and Community teams will use the space from time to time to share information about cat welfare and how people can get involved.

Opening information

The store will open for shopping in late December 2026. Keep an eye on our Skipton social channel for the confirmed opening date and further updates.

Once open, our trading hours will be:

Monday to Saturday: 9.30am to 5.30pm
Sunday: 10.30am to 4.30pm

Before opening, donation drop-offs are by prior arrangement. Please call 07471 330 115 before travelling.
