Cat care

New to owning a cat or completely baffled by your long-term feline friend? Fear not!

This section of the site boasts a wealth of information to help answer your cat-care queries.

From advice leaflets on numerous topics to frequently asked questions and a glossary, we're here to help you learn more about your cat.

Care leaflets

To help you take care of puss, we have two sets of cat care leaflets aimed at improving people’s understanding of cats and their care.

Care leaflets

Key cat care

Some elements of cat care are so important, that we feel they deserve a section of their own. These particular topics are highlighted because they are of real benefit to your cat, and are either central to Cats Protection's mission or new initiatives from the charity.
