Welcome to your local Cats Protection!
The St Albans and District Branch of the Cats Protection, was formed in October 2001. The Branch is essentially self-sufficient, dependent on funds raised locally to care for the cats we rescue. We have a small dedicated committee who help to run the Branch, we are however still desperately seeking Fosterers to help us to accommodate the ever growing number of cats that come into our care as these are mainly cared for in individual 'foster homes'.
The branch covers the following postcodes:
- AL1 - AL5
- Unfortunately we do not cover Hatfield or Welwyn but the Lea Valley Branch of Cats Protection does. Their general Branch phone number is:
Their website is: www.leavalley.cats.org.uk
They also have a general number for Homing: 01707 883128 and the general branch number for Lea Valley is 0845 371 2740.
Like all the local branches, we share the Charity's missions and goals:
It is Cats Protection mission to help unwanted and abandoned felines, rehabilitating and rehoming them where possible, but the work doesn’t stop there!
We also seek to alleviate the problem of unwanted cats, by offering information and advice about responsible cat ownership and promoting neutering as the only effective solution.
Our mission is based upon the charity’s three key aims:
- To help stray and unwanted cats and kittens, caring for and rehoming them where possible
- To encourage the neutering of all cats and kittens not required for breeding
- To inform the public about the care of cats and kittens
Cats Protection supports a neutering scheme for cats whose owners are on a low income, please contact us for more details! Did you know that one female cat can be responsible for 20,000 descendants in just 5 years!!!

Can you give Chips a home?CHIPS is a real character and everyone at the vets fell in love with him. He was obviously booted out of a house and has been foraging on his own for a while. He has now had all his vaccinations and is very healthy. We had to teach him what soft bedding and sleeping on a blanket was like but now he doesn't want to leave his bed.
Read more about Chips and more cats looking for new homes.
