Welcome to Cats Protection Northampton Branch
We're here to support cats and kittens in the areas of Northampton, Daventry, Towcester and the surrounding villages, covering postcodes: NN1, NN2, NN3, NN4, NN5, NN6, NN7, NN11 and NN12.
Run by a small team of dedicated, cat-loving volunteers, we're passionate about improving the lives of cats and kittens in Northampton, Daventry and Towcester, working to find loving new homes for local cats in our care and lost and found cats, as well as general education and awareness within these areas.
** Please be aware that from 10 June 2024 all cats aged 20 weeks or more must be microchipped and the owner's contact details must be stored and kept up-to-date in a pet microchipping database. Owners found not to have microchipped their cat will have 21 days to do this or may face a fine of up to £500. **
Please also note that the £10 neutering scheme is no longer available and so our local vets are not able to offer this option. Unfortunately, neutering vouchers are severely limited so applications with proven eligibility will be placed on a waiting list.
Eligibility criteria
• Means-tested benefits: universal credit, income support, housing benefit, council tax benefit, pension credit, income-based ESA, income-based JSA, working tax credits and child tax credits
• Benefits not eligible under this scheme: personal independence allowance/payment, child benefit, disability living allowance, attendance allowance, carer’s allowance

Please do not embarrass our helpline volunteers by asking for a neutering voucher unless you fit the eligibility criteria. For eligible cat owners who would like to enquire if any neutering vouchers are available, please ring our helpline on 0344 700 3251.
