Welcome to Cats Protection Bury St Edmunds & Stowmarket

We're here to support cats and kittens in Bury St Edmunds & Stowmarket, covering postcodes: IP6, IP14, IP22, IP23, IP29, IP30, IP31, IP32 & IP33

Run by a small team of dedicated, cat-loving volunteers, we're passionate about improving the lives of cats and kittens in the Bury St Edmunds & Stowmarket area, working to find loving new homes for cats in our care, and offering support with the cost of neutering cats, lost & found cats as well as general education and awareness within the Bury St Edmunds & Stowmarket area. You can find out more about the work of Cats Protection here.

All our work is voluntary and we have a dedicated team of volunteers without whom we could not carry out the vital work we do to help the cats and kittens in our area. We don't have a central cattery but have fosterers who care for our cats in purpose built cat chalets in their gardens.

Neutering

We strongly encourage the neutering of cats. For information about neutering in the local area, and our neutering vouchers for those on low incomes (less than £25,000 per household per year) and /or in receipt of benefits, please contact us on 01284 851055 and we will try and help if we can. 

If we are unable to answer immediately please leave a message with your name and contact details and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Or email enquiries@stedmunds.cats.org.uk

Cat adoption in Bury St Edmunds & Stowmarket

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in Bury St Edmunds & Stowmarket? 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.

Our adoption fee is £75 for an adult cat, and £95 for a kitten under 6 months. For this adoption fee you can be sure that your new companion has received a health check by a veterinary professional, has been vaccinated, spayed or neutered, treated for fleas and worms, given additional medical treatments if required and microchipped. One month's free Pet Plan Insurance is also included.

All our rescue cats need to be homed where they have  access to explore a safe garden via a cat flap. Cats have a natural tendency to explore, so allowing them free access to the outside gives them mental stimulation and reduces stress. Benefits include: exercise, variety, ability to express natural behaviours and space outside the household when needed.

Cats available for adoption from Bury St Edmunds & Stowmarket 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: 01284 850 887 or email us. enquiries@stedmunds.cats.org.uk
