Cats Protection Avis 

I pay in a monthly Prescription to support cat protection, and regularly buy raffle tickets, because they are a wonderful cause and I had a cat from my local cat protection who lived 21 years, her name was Fifi

Cats Protection is a charity that I've been involved with for all my adult life. It's the only place to go if you want a cat. Don't buy a pedigree - adopt a cat or kitten from CP. Their fosterers and local branch officers are so thoughtful and caring, and make sure you understand your responsibilities as a new cat owner.

Cats you adopt from CP will be wormed, treated for fleas and given their injections, so they'll be set up for their lives with you. The adoption fee barely covers these things. Many times the cat will also be neutered, or you may qualify for a neutering voucher that covers (fully or partially) the cost of neutering them if they are not yet old enough for this procedure when they leave the care of CP.

Please consider adopting an older cat, too. They do not necessarily cost you more, and if they need ongoing treatment, this may be something the local branch will cover for you indefinitely, depending on the individual case.

Finally, please consider volunteering for CP, if you can find the time. There are never too many volunteers to help in a whole host of different ways and using many different skills. We are so lucky to have CP, advocating for cats nationally and caring for them, helping deal with feral cats, and always fundraising, locally.

If you ever wanted to do a little good in the world, support CP. It will never be taken for granted, and your time and money will never be wasted.

No, they haven't paid me for this write-up, LOL! I am just someone who has had cats all her life and who will always turn to CP after one of my cats dies - (I have found it's the best way to get over the loss of one cat) - to fill the need of another cat for a loving permanent home. I cannot recommend them too highly.

I have only had good experiences with Cat's Protection. I appreciate the videos/newsletters and the knowledge that many cats are saved and rehabilitated who would otherwise suffer cruelty and abandonment.
Keep up the good work and the education.
Thankyou

Cats protection over the years have helped me,and friends help feral cats that we've rescued by paying for spaying and neutering.. I have found all of the staff absolutely amazing.

Mitcham, South London Branch - Great experience adopting our little boy, Chip. It was easy and seamless and all of the people working there were friendly, welcoming and helpful. I couldn't fault it to be honest.

Whilst the welfare of the animals is excellent at Cat's Protection (immediate response and action to a stray cat needing urgent medical care), I'm sorry to say that the admin needs some work. The workers or volunteers at Plymouth and Rame branch need to ensure that correct information is posted on their adverts to avoid getting people's hopes up. Also, it would be a good idea to get foster carers of the cats to visit homes themselves so that they can make INFORMED decisions rather than going by another random person's account. This is from a person whose family have owned/cared for traumatised cats (Ukrainian refugee family's cats who travelled by car with the family from Kiev to Plymouth and experienced bombings and other atrocities), very sick cats (feline AIDS, dementia, kidney issues etc.), many strays, multiple timid cats who eventually get used to each other and become friendly with each other because of our methods to gently introduce. It's a real shame because they have so many cats that need good homes and we would have been one of them.

The cats protection downham market centre was honestly amazing.

We enquired about our now fur baby and they were so quick to respond, so attentive and friendly. Our appointment to meet the kitten was fab, Jess answered all our questions, was patient with us and didn’t make us feel silly or stupid at all.

The entire process is as seamless, the staff were incredible and we are so so happy with our adoption and the experience we received.

The follow up call we great and we are just so over the moon

We visited the Banstead shop and found it packed full of wonderful items ready to be repurposed, all in a great condition. The shop layout is a little busy for my liking but I understand why it is necessary, and the staff were fantastically friendly. We bought a couple of items and will definitely return to look for some bargains - and what a wonderful cause these guys are working for.

I wish I could put zero stars for the Hereford branch but they get one for simply answering the phone. I was trying to explain about my friend who has been feeding so called feral kittens (they are not). The cats protection on feral cats is catch neuter and release, these are kittens one has already been rehomed but instead of listening to me the lady kept talking very loudly over me , very rude ! My concern is if these kittens are released back into the wild when they can be rehomed they will die it’s winter for gods sake! Disgusting behaviour I will never phone again. They are not feral they are just not used to human contact the parents have abandoned them!!

This is my 3rd cat from cats protection. The cat I adopted was from your Reading branch (Knoll Hill Cattery, Maidenhead). Wonderful, helpful people. They arranged transport to take me to visit the cat. And then when I adopted him brought him to me as I don't drive and don't have transport. Thank you. Sid is the most wonderful, beautiful black cat, who has brought me so much joy. He wants to be with me all the time. I treasure him. Thank you so much to all the wonderful people who helped me through the process.

I done a review on the 22nd august you were going to pass it on to south london however it was south east kent branch.

lovely friendly staff at Wrexham branch. I lost my 16 year old cat earlier this year and decided to give a home to another. Ivy is the sweetest shyest cat I have ever met, the staff where super friendly and told me about Ivy previous history. The day of adoption was straight forward along with follow up phone calls along with telling if I should need them I am only a phone call away. And sweet Ivy is now very much part of my family.

I had a great experience with Cats Protection when I recently adopted a kitten. All the staff I met were friendly, helpful and professional. They were able to provide all the information I needed about the kitten and the process of adopting. There was no pressure to adopt more than one cat even though I am sure there are many more cats than forever homes.

Mitcham Centre.

My experience of adopting a cat was
really supportive. The information I was given was clear and helpful and the staff were very professional. I was given plenty of time to get it all sorted.
My kitten is healthy happy and adorable.

Cats protection Warrington provided a great service when we adopted Noodle from them. Fast replies over email, a chat over the phone, after our application was accepted it took 7 days for Noodle to be home! They did all the follow ups and were always very helpful. We lucked out, Noodle is the bestest boi ever, and I am happy he came tu us through Cats protection. The fee to adopt was fair, the cat was happy and healthy when we picked him up and staff clearly care :)

Adopted two kittens from St Helen's branch. Whole experience was excellent, staff very helpful, friendly and the centre felt warm and welcoming. Kittens are health, already litter trained, wormed and flea treated. Really happy with our experience

An amazing adoption centre which were kind, patient and understanding. They really care about the cats and finding them a good home.

Cat's trending

The staff were very friendly and let us see the cat and get to know her and stroke her. She was a very friendly cat and seemed to be comfortable meeting us.

Having said goodbye to our beautiful fur baby, we decided we wanted to add a kitten to our family. After scouring websites we spotted a beautiful litter at the south London cats protection.
The volunteers there are so helpful and kind. We’re so happy we came across them and that they united us with such an adorable cat. The process is so easy and seamless. Highly recommend.
Thank you to everyone there.
