Adopt a cat in Taunton & Minehead

To view the cats that we have for adoption, please scroll down this page.

Offering a cat a new home is always a big decision, especially as many cats now live into their late teens and early twenties! A cat is for life and should be seen as a long-term commitment. Each cat or kitten has its own personality and needs, and they make wonderful companions and very rewarding pets.

Our adoption fees are £85 for a cat and £105 for a kitten. Of course any additional donations are gratefully received!

Cats will be homed taking careful note of the new environment and matching it to the temperament of each individual.

Trap, neuter and return (TNR) volunteer

Taunton & Minehead
