WHAT WE DO
Cats Protection
is a National Feline Rescue and Welfare Charity, taking in lost and
unwanted cats, and finding new homes for them. We also encourage
neutering and advise on general feline welfare problems.
The Glastonbury & Wells Branch of Cats Protection,
covers a largely
rural part of
Somerset including Shepton Mallet, Wells, Glastonbury, Street,
Cheddar, Castle Cary and surrounding area. All of our cats
are kept at the homes of volunteer fosterers because we have no
central shelter.
Last year we re-homed 183 cats and kittens We always have friendly
cats
of all ages for re-homing and often 'feral' (semi-wild) cats for
farms. We often have kittens in need of homes, especially between
May-September. Some cats are
re-homed quickly, whilst others need medical care or rehabilitation
before new homes can be found.
Adults are always vet checked, neutered, wormed, treated for fleas, and vaccinated,
and - when needed, the services of a
pet behaviourist
to sort any psychological problems the cat may have but this
branch does not have the resources to routinely microchip cats. Please go to our
Contact Us page for details of our Welfare Officer and other
Committee Members.
If you would like to join us
and/or help cats in this area
of
Somerset, please go to
the
Membership page. We always need fosterers, home checkers, cat
cuddlers and fundraisers – all strictly volunteers, although
reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
