Ready to rehome?
Before starting the process of adopting one of our cats, please take a few minutes to consider the following :
You could be committing to your new cat for up to 20 years. Can you offer continued stability?
- Veterinary fees can be expensive. You should expect to visit the vets at least once a year for a health check and vaccination. Other preventative health care measures include de-fleaing (usually a monthly treatment) and de-worming (typically a three-monthly treatment); seek advice from your vet on frequency. Pet insurance will help with the cost of major illness and emergency treatment.
- You will need to make arrangements for your cat when you go on holiday, this may involve boarding cattery fees.
- Feeding a cat will cost you a minimum of £5 per week, plus the additional expense of other items such as a litter tray and litter, toys, bowls, bedding etc...
- If you get a long-haired cat, you will need to set time aside for grooming.

This handy photo casebook shows you how the rehoming process works, from choosing a cat to taking him home.
Our Mission
It is Cats Protection's mission to help unwanted and abandoned felines, rehabilitating and rehoming them where possible, but the work doesn’t stop there! We also seek to alleviate the problem of unwanted cats, by offering information and advice about responsible cat ownership and promoting neutering as the only effective solution.
Our mission is based upon the charity’s three key aims:
- To help stray and unwanted cats and kittens, rehabilitating and rehoming them where possible
- To encourage the neutering of all cats and kittens not required for breeding
- To inform the public about the care of cats and kittens
Why buy kittens from a newspaper?
Why pay £50-£100 for a kitten from adverts in the paper - Look what we offer as standard:
- 6 weeks FREE insurance
- 1st Vaccination, including Chlamidya and Leukemia
- 2nd Vaccination (if old enough)
- Microchip
- Full health check
- Flea and worm treatment
- Neutered (if old enough)
All of the above would normally cost well over £100! Couple that with the fact that you will be helping cats who are desperately in need of homes and everybody wins!
All we ask for is a reasonable donation - most people find between £50 and £75 is acceptable. So not only does your money benefit the cats in our care, you end up with far more than a newspaper trader could offer!
