Are you considering rehoming your cat? Find out what to do next with our guide on rehoming with us.
Giving up your cat is never an easy decision. From moving home and relationship break-ups to changes in the family and even bereavement, there are many reasons why owners have to rehome their cat.
While some situations are unavoidable, there are some circumstances where you may be able to keep your cat companion. No matter how desperate you are, please don’t dump or abandon your pet or even advertise them for free on social media. This can be traumatic for your cat and can even be dangerous.
Speaking to your local Cats Protection branch or centre will ensure your pet is in a safe place and can be placed in the right home.

If you’ve made your decision that it’s necessary to give up your cat, here is our step-by-step process for rehoming a cat with us. Please consider it carefully as we will not be able to provide details of your cat’s new owner or location once they’ve been rehomed.
You might find that occasionally your nearest branch or centre is full or unable to assist with rehoming right away. In this case, your cat might be added to the waiting list. If your situation becomes more urgent, please let us know.
