Cats Protection is the UK's largest feline welfare charity.

We help an average of 166,000 cats and kittens every year thanks in no small part to our network of over 210 volunteer-run branches and 34 centres.

Our vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs.

It’s an ambitious vision. However, we truly believe it can be achieved because of our passion, our professional approach and simply because cats are among the UK’s most popular companion pets.

Our team of avian trainers, passionate keepers and volunteers work year-round to protect and support native and non-native species while creating inspiring events and experiences for visitors of all ages.

Come and visit to find your own sanctuary in nature. We are a registered charity dedicated to the conservation, rehabilitation and education of the public for birds of prey and other wildlife.

The Sanctuary operates a fully equipped Raptor Hospital, providing specialist care for injured wild birds of prey, with a structured rehabilitation process that supports their gradual reintroduction back into the natural environment.

The Sanctuary delivers its services through a combination of public admissions, donations, corporate sponsorship and grant funding.

In addition, it manages the S.O.S. Wild Owl Nest Box Scheme, a long-established initiative focused on creating, monitoring and maintaining habitats for wild owl populations across the region.
