Welcome to Cats Protection Welwyn Hatfield

We’re here to support cats and kittens in Welwyn Hatfield covering postcodes: AL6, AL7, AL8, AL9. AL10, SG11, SG12, SG13, SG14.

Run by a small team of cat-loving volunteers, we’re dedicated to improving the lives of cats and kittens in Welwyn Hatfield, 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 Welwyn Hatfield area.

Cats Protection Welwyn Hatfield does not have a central adoption centre. All the cats in our care are looked after by a team of volunteer fosterers in their own homes or purpose-built pens in gardens until we find new homes for them.

Our volunteers foster cats, raise funds and generally keep the branch going, enabling us to take unwanted cats and kittens into care year in year out. We always welcome new volunteers, no matter how little time you have. We are looking for support with transport and microchip checking stray cats.

Adopt a cat in Welwyn Hatfield

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in Welwyn Hatfield or surrounding areas? Please complete the enquiry form for a specific cat (see below) or email us. 

During the process of adopting a cat from us, we’ll consider everything from your potential cat’s personality and how they will fit with your lifestyle, to your home environment – creating the perfect match for both cat and owner and the start of a wonderful feline friendship. Some cats are a great fit if you have children and/or other pets. Other cats need lots of space so if you live in a rural environment it would be ideal for them.  If you live in a flat or close to a busy road, you may be able to adopt a cat who needs an indoor-only home.

Our adoption fee is £100 per adult cat and £120 per kitten, which includes 4 weeks free PetPlan Insurance.  

We don't don't rehome kittens to families with children under 5 years old, and we ask that if you're going on holiday that you contact us once you've returned.

Please note: We are all volunteers and the team covers the Welwyn Hatfield area. We do not have a central adoption centre – all cats available for adoption are kept at private addresses by volunteer fosterers and moved by our volunteers.
