Cat adoption in Launceston & District

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in Launceston or the surrounding area? During the process of adopting a cat from us, we’ll consider everything from your potential pet’s personality and how this fits with your lifestyle, to your home environment – creating the perfect match for both cat and owner and the start of a wonderful feline friendship.

Every cat or kitten adopted from Cats Protection is:

  • Given a nose to tail full health check
  • Flea and worm treated
  • Vaccinated
  • Blood tested if necessary
  • Microchipped
  • Neutered, if not already done, or if a young kitten, in which case a free voucher will be supplied for later neutering
  • Insured for four weeks

As our veterinary and care costs average £150 for each cat, we charge an adoption fee of £105 for a kitten up to 6 months old, and £85 for a cat.

Please note that if you are in rented accommodation we require written confirmation from your landlord or housing association giving permission for you to keep a cat at the property. It must also state how many animals are allowed at the property.

Cats available for adoption from Launceston & District Branch are featured below. To express your interest in a particular cat, please enquire via their listing. If you have any general enquiries about your suitability, or the adoption process, please call us on: 01566 456 146 or email us at enquiries@launceston.cats.org.uk.

Cat Desensitisation Volunteers (1-2 hrs per week)
Sunday afternoons
Some of our feline friends looking for new and loving homes might be shy, nervous or aggressive depending on their past or if they are struggling to adapt to the rescue environment. Our cat desensitisation volunteers help the cats in our care by spending time enriching their experience through play, exercise and handling until they are happy and confident enough to find their perfect forever homes.
What will you be doing:
  • Helping ensure the needs of each cat are met
  • Using desensitisation programmes to help cats get used to different people and experiences
  • Enriching each cats experience through play, exercise and handling
We are looking for:
  • Basic knowledge of cats, cat care and behaviour
  • Good observational skills
  • Patience and perseverance
  • A level-headed and practical approach
  • The ability to be calm, quiet and confident around cats
