Why adopt a cat from Cats Protection?
Your cat’s paws 🐾 are in the very best hands ✋🏻! We strongly consider Cats Protection to be the ‘gold standard’ of cat welfare. Here’s why:
- You can trust us: Cats Protection is the UK’s LARGEST feline welfare charity, helping an average of 166,000 cats & kittens a year over the past five years
- We’re experienced: Cats Protection was founded in 1927. We’re extremely knowledgeable and passionate about animal welfare, and we have a wealth of professional resources and specialist teams available to support us on our mission
Adopting a cat or kitten from Cats Protection Harrogate & District means that you and your new friend will benefit from the experience, skill and care that you would expect from the UK's largest feline welfare charity; with many included advantages like a health-check, vaccinations, neutering, microchipping and more.
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.
