Welcome to Cats Protection Northumbria Branch
We are a small team of dedicated volunteers passionate about supporting cats and kittens in Northumbria. Our work focuses on improving their lives, finding loving homes for cats in our care, assisting with neutering and lost-and-found cases, and raising awareness through education across the area.
If you're worried about a stray cat's health, there are several ways you can help. For advice or to report cruelty, visit the RSPCA website at rspca.org.uk/reportcruelty. If you can safely approach the cat, gently cover it with a blanket, place it in a carrier and take it to a vet (emergency care is free for the person who finds the cat).
If you don't have a cat carrier, we can lend you one with a £20 refundable deposit, and collection points are available. For situations where a trap is needed, we also provide traps with a £100 refundable deposit. If transport is an issue, we can deliver equipment for a suggested donation of £20.
