 Adopt
a Cat or Kitten
We always have a selection of cute (and not so
cute) cats looking for new loving homes. Also at certain times of the
year we have lots of kittens also looking for loving homes
All our cats and kittens will have been health
checked, flea sprayed and wormed, micro-chipped, have been vaccinated
against Feline Flu and Enteritis, Leukaemia. All cats over 5 months are
already neutered. Cats Protection does not charge a set fee when you
adopt a cat. However, we do accept donations in the region of £60
for every cat or kitten homed. This helps us to cover some of those costs
already incurred as every cat in Cats Protection care can cost us more than
£100.00 before it is ready for rehoming,
If everyone who adopts one of our cats donates £60 to the branch it
enables us to help far more cats each year which after all is the central
aim of the charity. If you adopt a kitten from us. you
must agree to get a kitten
neutered at 5 months.
Before we home any of our cats, prospective
owners have to agree to a home check visit. As we will have spent a lot
of time and money on our foster cat/kitten, the purpose of this visit is
to ensure that our cat or kitten is going to be happy in its new home,
and that we have matched the right cat/ kitten to the right owner. Once a
cat/kitten has been homed, we do a follow up visit approx 2 months later
to ensure that the cat/kitten is settled in its new home and that the new
owners have no problems.
Should you decide to adopt a kitten
from us, you will be asked to sign a declaration promising to have the
kitten neutered when it gets to 5 months of age. Please note that in the
event of this promise not being kept, we will take the kitten back into
our care.
If you live within our area and
would like to adopt a cat or kitten, please contact our CATLINE on
01268 285778. Our Homing Officer will discuss with you what kind of
cat you are interested in and you will be put in touch with one of our
fosterers.
Alternatively, come along to one of our
CAT HOMING SHOWS. These are like a cat show, but all the cats
there are looking for a new home. The shows are held every month (see our
Events Page for dates etc) and we take along all the cats and kittens
which are ready for homing on the day. In this way, you can see them all
at once! We will endeavour to
arrange your home check visit on the same day (or soon after) so that you
get to take your new cat home with you as soon as possible (usually at
the end of the show).
