Cats Protection

Cats Protection is the UK's largest cat welfare charity, dedicated to improving the lives of cats and kittens through rehoming, neutering, education and support for cat owners and communities. Since its founding in the 1920's, the organisation has helped millions of cats find loving homes and works nationwide to promote responsible care, reduce stray populations and increase public awareness of cat wellbeing.

Operational throughout the United Kingdom, Cats Protection has a network of volunteer-run branches and adoption centres covering all regions. These local teams support rescue, fostering, rehoming, lost and found services and community outreach for cats of all ages.

Cats Protection Charity Shops

Cats Protection runs over 100 charity shops across the UK, offering pre-loved clothing, gifts, accessories and cat-themed items. These shops play a crucial role in funding the charity's rescue and care work while giving supporters a sustainable way to shop and contribute to feline welfare. You can find your nearest shop via our shop finder and support their mission by donating goods or volunteering locally.
