Who we are

About Cats Protection

Cats Protection is a national charity primarily responsible for rescuing and rehoming cats and kittens throughout the UK.

Begun in 1927, it is the UK's oldest and largest feline welfare charity.

Our objectives are:-

• To rescue stray and unwanted cats and kittens
• To rehabilitate them
• To rehome them where possible
     Cats Protection has a strict no-kill policy
     Cats stay in our care until we find them a home
• To encourage the neutering of all cats and kittens
• To educate and inform the public on the care of cats and kittens.

About the Shetland Branch

The Shetland Branch of Cats Protection is the most northerly branch in the UK. The branch is run entirely by volunteers who carry out many important tasks, including rescuing stray cats; advising on and arranging neutering; and fostering cats and kittens. Our fundraising activities range from selling CP merchandise, crafts, bric-a-brac and raffle tickets to organising supermarket bag packs and arranging fairs, competitions and various other social events.

All funds raised by the Shetland Branch of Cats Protection stay in Shetland to finance our voluntary work.

We have a purpose-built cat shelter to accommodate our rescued cats prior to homing.

We produce a newsletter twice a year to keep all our members informed of our activities.
