Cats Protection レビュー 

I haven't had a cat for 10 yrs+
I moved last year & decided I am ready to be a cat mum again & in particular adopt an older cat. The website enabled me to browse through all the little darlings & choose a 13 yr old male. Who is so sweet. The centre is situated in a beautiful location & set back down a long drive. Plenty of parking. Inside everywhere was very clean & everyone so nice & helpful. Was given lots of information. Can't wait to pick up the new family member.

I have adopted 2 cats from Cats Protection, one in 2023 and one in 2024. One kitten and one 7 year old. Adoption was straightforward. I had to complete an application, do a pre-meet and pay a small fee for adoption. All the basics were covered including chip, vaccines, worm and flea etc. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful before, during and after pick up. I expected questions about my ability to care for them. All went smoothly and I am a very happy cat parent!

CATS PROTECTION HELPLINE
We counted down the minutes from 6 in the morning to 9am when the helpline opened just to get some emotional support and advice after our cat passed away from two heart attacks and we were left with one kitten, trying to juggle our grief and take care of a hyperactive kitten that we also got from cats protection. When they picked up I couldn't even get an ounce of sympathy or comfort. The woman didn't even give condolences for my beautiful cat who passed. She didn't give any advice and told me she doesn't know and that I need to contact my own cats protection branch. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A HELP LINE AND I WAS ASKING YOU FOR HELP SO WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP US? I will never- ever call them again. We are ruined, we don't have anyone to speak to, to help us and all we asked for was for one phone call to a stranger to give us some advice and all she has done is made us feel worse.

We adopted a kitten from cats protection the United Kingdom cat centre. We were facilitated by Joe who was brilliant in explaining the process. From the start the kittens welfare was put forward. Everything was explained clearly and advice was given throughout. We were able to adopt a kitten within a few weeks. I cannot credit cats protection enough for what they do. Id recommend them to anyone who's looking to rehome a cat. We love our kitten and we appreciated the support from all of the team. They also have affordable cat items in a little shopping area which is useful and informative for things like carrier sizes, scratching posts and general information.

Absolutely brilliant staff was spot on . We adopted two kittens from them two yr ago. They gave us good advice and information to help home them with our elderly cat. They were at the end of the phone when ever we needed advice. All cats lived very happily together . Until sadly we lost our elder cat last year. We fell in love last week with one of their one eye kitten. Once again they responded straight away. Gave us lots of information and invited us to visit and take our time to see if we were right for the kitten and she was right with us. I absolutely recommend Cats protection there sole interest is the cats welfare. And if unfortunately you don’t match once you’ve adopted they are ready to take the cat back and try again.

I adopted two rescue kittens from Cats Protection in Sep 2023 and it was a seamless experience .. I applied to adopt Pedro and Peppa while I was away down South and had emails and phone calls from the lady who was fostering them .. like a vetting call I guess .. anyway roll on two days later and I was driving to Girvan to collect them and bring them home. Roll on two years this Sep and the two furbabies are thriving .. and totally settled . I adopted them when they were 4 months and they had some trauma issues I think as took a long time to settle and trust ..they had already been brought back from one home 😥🏡

When we moved house we knew we wanted a cat. We reached out to CP Woking as there were 2 brothers that we wanted to see. It took a couple of weeks to hear back but we spoke to a lovely Alison who did our home visit etc. we then found our 2 cats Cynder & Neelix. We’ve had them nearly a year now and couldn’t have been happier with the support from Alison and the CP team.

Absolutely fantastic when you are adopting a cat or cats. They have been my chosen charity on a number of occasions. Thank you for all the work you do helping 🐈 😻

Back in 2018 I adopted Casey. I'd had cats growing up but this was the first cat of my own as an adult. I was in a flat at the time and visited my dad who had a dog - the website was really helpful to let me filter cats that are OK around dogs and are indoor (although he subsequently got jealous of the dog being taken for walks so started coming out with us 😄).
Really helpful people, and very glad they do pre-visits. Although it's an extra hurdle, I'm so glad they're responsible and don't just hand over these vulnerable beauties to just anyone, given how many cruel people are in the world.
Always adopt and give a cat a second chance of a happy life! Thanks Cat's Protection ❤️

They helped us find the best match for us and, most importantly, for our beloved Monkey. He had been at the shelter for several months because he was shy and FIV+. But we approached him slowly, with plenty of patience as instructed, he sniffed our hands and came out of hiding. The rest is history. He became the boss in our house and was adored by all.
Cats Protection do amazing work, day in and day out, they really do care for each cat and their needs.

I got my cat Kiki from CATS Protection Arbroath just over 1 year ago. The best decision I have ever made . I love her so much. And the process was so simple . Would not be without her now

We got 2 brothers from Hereford who are great little characters

I called Cats Protection on 14 May 2025 as I was looking to adopt some kittens they had. Yes, I was a new enquiry, but still.

The lady I spoke to was lovely and asked me all the usual questions which I answered and was told somebody would get back to me from my local branch but it wouldn't be quick - I expected maybe within 2 weeks I'd get a phone call. That was over a month ago and nobody has bothered to contact me.

I have since bought two kittens privately but would have been happy to adopt as we're always being told to "adopt, don't shop" but when you try to, you get nowhere.

I know they're volunteers but what does that mean? They can't work as quickly as if they were being paid? If you're inundated with enquiries, surely the ones wanting to take kittens and cats off of your hands should be some sort of priority so you can make space for those that have sadly been surrendered and you need to take in. It's like they don't actually want the help to reduce the cats they have in their locations and to give them loving homes.

Very disappointed in Cats Protection.

We got our Jack from you 5 years ago. He is 16 now and the sweetest boy. We are so lucky to have you to care for all unwanted cats and rehome them. Donations are important with costs so high these days which I continue to support. Thank you.

I got my Fred (he was originally called Finch) from Sara in Rendlesham. I had a choice of 3 boys. None of them came to me. So I just pointed at one, it could have been any of them. He was quite scared to start with. My other cat Rolf and Fred did not get on. It took 5 days for them to become friends. Now they are in love with each other. Fred is just the sweetest black cat. Every morning I have to cuddle his tummy, he rolls back and forth. He is like a baby panther, he is huge. My experience with CP was fantastic. I keep thinking I will get another one, but then change my mind again, just in case Fred and Rolf won't accept it. I'm still in touch with Sara. X

We have had the most positive experiences with Cat Protection from adoption points of view and the Grief side!

They've been helping in every aspect of our journey and we will be coming back in September to add to our family and will only use CP.
Amazing from the care, conversation, checks done, Foster carer that gave us our babies! I would 100% recommend for all cat needs, questions and getting the best experiences

I cannot fault the communication. Every email I sent, was replied to with a phone-call within the hour. All staff were helpful, kind and patient. Joe was always helpful and showed us our beautiful baby girl when we arrived! We brought Suki home on Wednesday and she has been an absolute joy. So happy, so confident, she is a perfect family kitten for us and were thankful and appreciative of all the hard work, time and love that has gone into looking after Suki! And for choosing us to re-home her - it’s a purrrfect match!

This charity as helped me getting my cats neutered they have been excellent

Sadly I cannot recommend Cat Protection as they are so inconsistent with contact to potential adopters. We had a home visit (which went very positively), provided all relevant information and were told we would be contacted in the next few weeks only to never hear from them again. it’s a huge shame as I would love to adopt not buy but when you can’t communicate it leaves little option.

Helped us in times of need, absolutely amazing charity
