Welcome to Cats Protection Skegness & District Branch
We’re here to support cats and kittens in Skegness, Mablethorpe, Alford and Spilsby, covering postcodes: LN12, LN13, PE22, PE23, PE24, and PE25.
Run by a small team of dedicated, cat-loving volunteers, we’re dedicated to improving the lives of cats and kittens in Skegness and the surrounding areas, working to find loving new homes for local cats in our care, offering support with neutering, and lost and found cats, as well as general education and awareness within the Skegness area. You can find out more about the work of Cats Protection here.
Important information regarding cat admissions and rehoming
Rescue organisations and vets across The Midlands are noticing higher than usual levels of Feline Parvovirus in circulation. To safeguard the cats in our care and to prevent further transmission of the virus across the region we are taking precautions around intake and rehoming of cats which may mean our wait times are longer than usual. Please do not bring your cat to the branch until you are contacted by us to make arrangements.
Feline Parvovirus is highly contagious with a high mortality rate. If your cat shows any signs of being unwell (including, but not limited to, vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, high fever and a loss of appetite), please contact your nearest vet and do not bring your cat to the branch.
To help protect your cat against this virus, and to enable us to help you more speedily - please ensure your cat is up to date with vaccines and boosters.
For further information about Feline Parvovirus visit www.cats.org.uk/feline-parvovirus and for details about the importance of vaccinating see www.cats.org.uk/vaccinations
Please note, as at December 2023, this Branch has closed our Waiting List for Admissions and we are no longer able to take into care cats or kittens, unless they were originally adopted from Cats Protection.
Feral & Farm Cats
Our Branch offers TNR (Trap, Neuter & Return) for feral and farm cats. Ferals (non-domestic cats that cannot be handled) are trapped (trap provided), taken to our Branch vet where they are health checked, blood tested, neutered, vaccinated, fleaed and wormed, and ear tipped, before being released back on the site where they live. Our branch covers the costs of all treatment and neutering so please get in touch if you have a feral cat or colony that needs neutering. Cats breed quickly and just a couple of stray cats can produce over 20 feral cats in under a year, so please don’t delay in contacting us for help.
