CATS PROTECTION - TEESSIDE
Registered Charity no: 203644
Teesside cats protection covers all of the TS postal areas. Their helpline offers advice on cat care, cat rescue, and of course rehabilitation. Cats and kittens are cared for to the highest standards and with plenty of TLC, at the homes of branch fosterers as they do not have a central Cat Shelter! They have a variety of rescued cats & kittens of all ages needing homes. Cats / kittens over 5 months are neutered, vaccinated and ID chipped. Kittens under 5 months have their first vaccination and come with a neutering voucher that can be used at any Teesside vets. The cost of this service is £60-00; donations in excess of this help to fund the ongoing work. Because they care for a limited number of cats and kittens, the fosterers get to know them as individuals, making it easier to 'match-make' a cat with a prospective owner.
Neutering Assistance: Please contact using the details below for assistance with the cost of neutering.
Lost & Found Register: Teesside CP also maintain a lost-and-found register.

And when a pet is bereaved the Trust takes on their full time, life time care.
