Welcome to Cats Protection Essex Cat Centre

We're here to support cats and kittens in Essex, covering postcodes: CM0, CM1, CM2, CM3, CM4, CM8, CM9.

Run by a dedicated team of cat lovers, we're passionate about improving the lives of cats and kittens in Essex, 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 the Essex area. You can find out more about the work of Cats Protection here.

Cat adoption in Essex

Could you provide a loving new home for a cat in the Essex area? 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.

Cats available for adoption from the Essex Cat Centre 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: 01245 478389 or email us.

You can find out more about adopting a cat from Cats Protection here.

Wanting to adopt a kitten?

The way we home kittens has changed - we now list all available cats, including kittens, on our website for applications so we encourage you to check back regularly to see when kittens become available, which is more often in the warmer months.  If you apply for a kitten online we would ask that you await contact from our team rather than regularly following up on the phone or in person, to help our team best manage the applications.
