From just £1.38 a week, you can help give cats the love and care they need until they find their forever home. 

Why sponsor a cat pen?

By sponsoring a cat pen at one of our cat centres, you'll be making a difference to countless cats and kittens in our care. Your support will help provide a safe place for cats to stay, keeping them fed, warm and cared for while they wait to find a loving new home. 

Sponsor a cat pen

There are six sponsor pens to choose from, located at cat centres across the UK.  The cats in our sponsor pens are always changing as they find homes and new arrivals come into our care, so you’ll meet lots of different cats and kittens throughout your sponsorship journey.

Here are the cats currently in our sponsor pens: 

Meet the cats you're helping

You'll receive regular updates about the cat currently in your sponsor pen.

Get to know their story, learn more about their personality and see how they're getting on during their stay. 

When a cat leaves for their forever home, your sponsorship doesn't end there: it's time to meet the newest arrival to your pen and begin another journey.

Cat sponsorship FAQs

You can become a Cats Protection Sponsor from £6 a month, the equivalent of just £1.38 a week. Of course, you're very welcome to make a bigger gift each month to support even more cats and kittens in our care. You could even sponsor more than one pen and follow multiple cat journeys.

Three times a year, you’ll receive a newsletter in the post jam-packed with updates from your sponsor pen and the cats that have been rehomed. If you’d like to hear about your pen more often, you can also opt in to receiving email updates and get the latest news (and cute cat photos!) straight to your inbox.  

What’s more, you’ll be able to watch a live webcam stream by logging into our exclusive online sponsor area. Watch them snooze, stretch and scamper in real-time. From time to time, we'll also share stories of other cats in our care across our centres, so you can discover even more of the lives your support helps to change.

Yes. Sponsoring multiple pens means you’ll be helping even more cats and kittens in our care, while following the stories of multiple cats.

Rather than an individual cat, you'll be sponsoring a pen at one of our cat centres, helping every cat that stays in that pen. When the cat in your pen is rehomed, a new cat will take their place. This means you’ll be making a difference to lots of cats and kittens.!
