Cat adoption in Harrogate
Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in Harrogate?
At Cats Protection Harrogate & District, we often rescue cats and kittens from very difficult environments – like being abandoned in a bin or at the side of the road; from an abusive home environment where they’re at risk of danger; or they may just have been sleeping outside in the cold, all alone. And sometimes, after finding themselves in a desperate situation, a cat's owner may even have chosen to take their cat to a vet to be euthanised. In all of these cases and more, we need your help to provide a loving and safe home for the cats we rescue: we believe all cats and kittens deserve that.

About rescue cats: The cats and kittens we rescue need someone to love them and to give them a warm, safe home. They’ll often need a patient owner, who understands that any cat – especially a rescue cat – is likely to take some time to settle into their new home, and to open up to and bond with their new owner. A cat will need to be matched with an owner who understands the natural personality of a cat: for instance their independent nature, and that they often give affection on their own terms. This can be extremely rewarding if handled well. Of course, every cat needs – and deserves – a loving owner who will put them first.
Before you apply to rehome one of our cats: your new feline friend could be part of your family for over 20 years: so please ensure that you can comfortably afford all the items they’ll likely require during their lifetime – like food, annual vaccinations, insurance and unexpected vet visits.
Our branch is here to support cats and kittens in Harrogate & District, accepting rehoming applications from: all HG postcodes, along with LS17, LS22, LS23 & YO51.
