Welcome to Cats Protection North Ayrshire Branch

The branch is here to support cats and kittens in North Ayrshire, and a part of East Ayrshire too.  

Do get in touch and we can advise you if we can help.  

The branch started in 1999 and is run by a small team of dedicated, cat-loving volunteers who are passionate about improving the lives of cats and kittens in North Ayrshire, working hard to find loving new homes for the cats currently in our care.  We offer support with neutering, and lost and found cats, as well as general education and awareness within the North Ayrshire area. 

The number of cats needing help has risen considerably over the last 4 years.  Our waiting list is at an all time high, and the volume of cats coming to us continues to increase.   Help us to be there for those cats by adopting a cat or kitten from  us.  Choose to neuter your own cat instead of letting it have a litter.  Volunteering with us can mean many things, from hands on cat care, to working remotely on your laptop.  Supporting us financially is also very worthwhile.

 



Cat adoption in North Ayrshire

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat ?

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.

Some of the many cats in our care 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: 0345 371 4218 or email us

Want to enquire about a certain cat - click on the enquiry button and fill in the form.  Sometimes we can have 30 applications for the same cat, and apologies in advance if you are disappointed not to reserve the cat you had your heart set on.

Remember for every 2 cats on our website, we will have another coming into care, so do let us know if you are looking for a certain cat?  Older or cats with medical issues take a bit longer to appear on the website.

Our adoption process consists of a call to discuss your enquiry.

Once started, our adoption process is normally quite quick - so if you are planning on going on holiday before adopting, or planning to adopt in a few weeks time please let us know before the process starts.

Renting??  Yes we do let cats in our care be adopted by those in rental properties, but we do need to see a copy of the landlord agreement to have a pet.  

Children in your home??  Yes we do allow cats to live in a home with children.  It does depend on the cat and their nature, as well as other factors.

Do you own a dog??  We do home to families with dogs.  Again, it does depend on the cat in our care, and of course the nature of your dog.
