Cats Protection champions neutering as the only effective way to reduce the number of unwanted cats in the UK

Help us prevent a kitten crisis during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Due to the current pandemic, some vet practices will not be neutering cats or kittens - or will at least be limiting their availability. Find out more about how to limit unwanted pregnancies as well as our FAQs on neutering during the coronavirus crisis.

We seek to dispel myths, spread the neutering message and make it easier for owners on low incomes to get their cats neutered. In some cases, especially where owners are in financial hardship, some of our centres and branches may be able to help with neutering costs.

Our recommended neutering age for your pet cat is four months. 
 
We help neuter around 150,000 cats and kittens, including around 20,000 ferals, every year.
