Your cat into our care

A happy catSometimes personal circumstances change and owners are faced with the heartbreaking decision of whether to separate from their cats.

It is at this time that Cats Protection may be able to help. If you can no longer care for your cat, the first thing to do is contact your local branch or adoption centre. Phone numbers are available from here on our website, in Yellow Pages or from our Helpline, 03000 12 12 12.

If phoning branches during the day, you may have to leave an answerphone message as many of our volunteers are at work. Rest assured that your call will be returned and arrangements can then be made.

Remember that there can be waiting lists for spaces in pens, so plan early for your cat's future. Please think very carefully before signing your cat into our care. Once the decision has been made and the cat rehomed, no details of the new owners can be released.
