"Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity. Our vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs.

Here are details of some of the lovely cats looking for homes.

Boo (4 year old female tortie) She's one of our long-stayers. She's been with us since June 2013.

Boo! Sorry I didn't mean to scare you! I'm just a little Tortie who needs a new home because my owner had to move into rented accommodation and couldn't take me with him. My favourite thing is being outdoors and going on adventures. I will come home and tell you all about my day and probably bring you one of my treasures back. I am a confident, independent girlie who knows about traffic. I have lived with other cats, dogs and children but I find it hard to make friends so would be happy if my future home could be just you and me. Can you find it in your heart to give me a chance?

Chard (15 year old female black) She hasn't been with us long but she's unhappy here and she's 15.

This gorgeous girl might be 15 years old but she still has plenty of life in her! She is very affectionate and lively and loves to play around outside (although a warm lap in the winter is hard to leave). Her previous owners had to move and couldn't take her with them as they thought she would be very unhappy without any access to the outside. If you can offer Chard a home please don’t hesitate to ask about her today.

Sooty – 6 year old handsome chap. Lovable rogue with lots of personality. Needs rural home with no other cats, call us for more information.

Our cats and kittens have all been fully vaccinated, health checked by our vet, neutered (over 4 months old), microchipped, de-flead and wormed. Our cats come with 4 weeks free insurance when homed. The average cost of looking after a cat in our care can reach well over £200, and this does not include any necessary treatment. To help our costs we ask for an adoption fee of £60 per cat, and any donations are gratefully received.

If you are interested in these or would like to know more about adopting a cat or kitten from Cats Protection then why not give us a call.

Our opening hours are: Mon - Sun 11 - 3pm (except Christmas day, Boxing day and New Years day)
