Adopt a cat in Wellingborough & Rushden

We’re passionate about finding loving, lasting homes for the cats in our care. During the process of adopting a cat from Cats Protection Wellingborough & Rushden, 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.

Our adoption fees are £95 for each cat or £115 for each kitten. Any additional donations are greatly appreciated!

We regret we are unable to reserve cats/kittens in our care for more than a few days, if you have any holidays/weekends away booked in the next 3-4 weeks please contact us after these have taken place. If you live in rented accommodation, you must obtain written consent from your landlord to keep pets at the property.

Lost and found cats in Wellingborough & Rushden

For help with lost and found cats, please provide details and a photo of your cat. We also need to know if the cat is neutered and/or microchipped, and the area where they were lost or found.

We support rehoming any found cat after 2 weeks if we can't find the owner and the cat is not microchipped, and after 4 weeks for a cat that has been microchipped. This is because we feel it's in the best interest of the cat to place it in a new home, instead of a life in a pen or on the streets. Unfortunately, GDPR means we're unable to keep owners details after that time.

For lost and found cats, please email enquiries@wellingborough.cats.org.uk or call 0345 371 4209.

Find out more in our lost, found and feral cats guide.
