Welcome to your local Cats Protection!

Hello and welcome to the York Cats Protection Adoption Centre.

Thanks for visiting our official website - do feel free to have a peek about. Check out our news items and features, our success stories of cats wreaking havoc in their new homes, and most importantly, those fantastic cats still available for re-homing.

We are proud to be part of Cats Protection, the UK's leading feline welfare charity. The York Branch of Cats Protection was established in January 1992, and our Adoption Centre at 582 Huntington Road opened its gates in April 2001.  We are one of a network of 29 Adoption Centres and over 260 volunteer-run branches, who work in the rescuing, treating, neutering and re-homing of unwanted or abandoned cats and kittens.  We are able to help hundreds of cats each year in the York area. 

Through our Adoption Centre and network of volunteers we provide food, shelter, veterinary treatment and plenty of fuss to needy cats until permanent, safe and loving homes can be found for them.

We receive no funding, and rely entirely on fundraising, sales in our charity shop and generous donations from the public to be able to continue our work. You can now make an online donation to York Cats Protection via PayPal. Any contribution made, however small, will be of genuine help to the cats in our care.

Our small team is made up of the Adoption Centre Manager, the Deputy Manager, and our enthusiastic Cat Care Assistants and volunteers. The staff and most especially, the cats, look forward to welcoming you.
