CATS PROTECTION

Newcastle upon Tyne Branch

URGENT PLEASE READ !


for more information on the cats available for adoption you can telephone

VAL - Homing Officer on 0845 371 2732

PLEASE NOTE :-

kittens are not currently available, cats normally only mate when they know their kittens will survive through weather conditions, hence the only kittens around over the winter period are those born to immature queens. This does not apply to Pedigree Cats as they are reared and bred indoors.
Kittens should be available within the next month or so....

Donations when adopting a Cat or Kittens

 

Although we state on the site that the average donation is £50 for an adult cat or kitten, that doesn't mean we would expect double that figure for a pair, but of course anything over and above the initial amount is very much appreciated.

Often its not realised the costs that we have when taking in a cat or kitten, many people think we dont have any Vets fees to pay, well, we do, we have to pay consultation fees presciption and surgical fees just like anyone else. In fact, we average a cost of over £300 with that fee going up day by day, and when you consider that many cats are with us for months and months, the cost can be staggering.

Although a Donation isnt compulsary, we would like to think you would offer a donation in order to help us afford the next cat we need to bring into our care.

All we ask is that you check how much it would cost to buy a kitten from a Pet Shop, and remember that kitten isnt as lucky as ours, and doesnt have the benefits of a Cats Protection kitten or Cat. It isnt vaccinated, It isnt wormed or de-flead, it isnt microchipped, nor will it be unless you pay for all these extras. We do it all for you, where will you find benefits better than these?

Cats Protection now Vaccinate our Cats and Kittens

This is a brave venture for us as a Branch, as we are self funded, and no, we dont get free Veterinary treatment. We want the best possible for the cats in our care, so, we have decided that the best means protecting our cats and kittens from as many cruel diseases as possible. The list includes the following:-

  • Feline Panleucopenia Virus
  • Feline Leukaemia
  • Feline Rhinotracheitis Virus
  • Feline Calicivirus
  • Feline Clamydia psittaci.

To impliment a full Vaccination course such as this, we would appreciate those adopting cats or kittens from us, adding that little bit extra by way of donation to help us undertake this enormous and very expensive venture.

We are now microchipping all our cats and have created a new scheme to chip our kittens also.
It is unkind to chip a kitten, as the chip is fairly large compared to the small neck of a kitten, so we are giving out a voucher for a microchip to be put in place, when the kitten is anaesthetised for neutering. But we can only do this at certain nominated Veterinary Practices, so please dont just go along to your own Vet to get your kitten neutered and expect a free CP microchip, we cannot do that.
We recommend that your kitten be neutered between 4½ months and 6 months, please do not leave it later than this as this can lead to various cancers in later life due to the onset of hormonal developments, which happen after 6 months.  So despite all those 'old wives tales' it really isn't best to leave your  female kitten to have a litter or her first season prior to neutering, nor is it best for a male kitten to keep his genitalia, as not only will he roam and spray, he could be a victim of prostate cancer later in life.

By microchipping your cat and kitten, we are doing our best to re locate the strays of tomorrow with their owners.

MEET PLUTO A STUNNING PALE GINGER BOY

This fabulous pale ginger 5 year old male, came to us when a family could no longer cope after the departure of a family member. Pluto is used to dogs, and children, but doesnt care too much for cats. He is loving boy, who likes to sit on knees. He is used to going out at nights, so a home that backs onto fields or in a very quiet area would suit Pluto well.
Pluto is neutered, microchipped and has started his course of vaccinations.

He Cannot Be Homed To The Ashington Area

If you would like to meet Pluto, please fill in an application form by clicking the CP Logo beneath this ad.

 
 

PRINCESS A CAT WITH CHARACTER

This is Princess. She is still quite young being around 3 years old. Princess came into our care along with her kittens, of whom she was very protective, and a superb mother. She is now neutered, microchipped and vaccinated and looking for a forever home of her own.
She is a character, and will try and manipulate her new owner a bit, so is best suited to a couple or person on their own who knows cats. She takes her time to get to know you, but once she does, she is playful and friendly. But she isnt averse to swiping you across the legs if you dont pay her attention.
So if a cat of character is for you, then Princess is your girl.

Cannot Be Rehomed To The Coast Area

If you are interested in this little madam, and would like to meet her, please complete an application form by clicking the CP Logo below.

 

 
 

BLACK & WHITE SEMI LONG HAIRED MALE


THIS CAT WAS BROUGHT IN FROM THE CULLERCOATS AREA DO YOU RECOGNISE HIM?



We have named this cat Tyson, but he is very thin, and although he has tested negative to Feline Aids and Leukaemia, we are having more tests done. He was found in the Cullercoats area, and advertised locally, but as we cannot offer him for rehoming till he is well, we want to use the opportunity to try and find his owner, by showing a photo of him here, and on the lost and found section of the site.

He is a very friendly boy, very loving indeed, If you do recognise him please ring Val on 0845 371 2732



 

 
 

SOPHIE IS A YOUNG BLACK & WHITE QUEEN
Cannot be homed within the Backworth area

This stunning young queen was found living with a feral colony in  a stable in Backworth. Despite advertising her no owner has come forward. So Cats Protection are looking for a home for this delightful queen.  We do not know her past, but we do know that she is friendly and quite loving, but after her feral experience, does not trust other cats.
If you would like to meet her, please fill in an application form by clicking the CP logo below.

 
 

A Donation in the region of £50 is hoped for when adopting a cat or kitten from Cats Protection

MEET THE STUNNING BELLE ( NOT AVAILABLE TILL MID JULY)

This beautiful young queen was found living with a feral cat colony in the Keel Row area of Blyth. She was very much in season and being chased by tom cats. She is semi long haired cat, so that will require a bit of grooming, at least once a week. She is very friendly and will no doubt get on well with children.
As Belle was only brought to us last week, we will need to advertise her to ensure her owner, if looking for her, finds her, plus we like to quarantine our new cats for 14 days to ensure they are not harboring a virus. Belle has been neutered and chipped by us, and will be vaccinated prior to going to a new home.

BELLE CANNOT BE REHOMED TO THE BLYTH AREA.

ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE TO VIEW BELLE AROUND 10TH JULY, TO DO SO PLEASE CLICK THE CP LOGO BELOW AND FILL IN AN APPLICATION FORM.

 
 

PLEASE LET ME INTRODUCE CLEO

Cleo is only 8 months old, and has led quite a sheltered life being an indoor cat in a flat in central Newcastle. She is not used to children or other animals, and on coming to Cats Protection, was very confused and upset as her owner had tried homing her to a family with small children who terrified her. Cleo is now neutered, chipped and vaccinated and ready to go to a new quiet home without children or other animals. You will need to be patient with her at first as she the sort of cat who has to get to know you before showing you her true colours.

So if this kitten is of interest to you, please fill in one of our application forms by clicking any of the CP logo links on this page, and we will arrange for you to meet her.

 
 

ALL CATS LISTED BELOW, ARE EITHER NOW IN NEW HOMES OR ON HOLD PENDING A HOME VISIT, SO PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETE AN APPLICATION FORM FOR THEM.
 

INTRODUCING AUSTIN, A HANDSOME BOY - Austin has now found a new home

Cannot be Homed to the Howdon area

Austin came from the High Howdon area.  He was living under car bonnets and trying to get into houses.  He was being regularly beaten up by other cats in the area..  He has a band down his back where his coat has been scraped off, probably by a fan belt, but that is just a guess. But his fur is now growing back so our Vet is very pleased with him.  He is approx 18 months old.
 
Very clean, always hungry and loves strokes.    Doesn't bother with other cats, even though he was being beaten up. He loves companionship, so regularly sought out anyone willing to give him a stroke, till he returned to his home in the local allotments to sleep.

Austin is now neutered, chipped and vaccinated, and looking for a family willing to give him that home he has never had.


NO MORE APPLICATIONS FOR AUSTIN AS HEHAS NOW FOUND A NEW HOME


Katie and Sophie a pair of 4 year old Females these two have now found a home.

Cannot be rehomed to the North Shields area

Both cats are very loving.  Sophie (Tortie) likes to be picked up.  Katie (Black)does not.  Both love lots of attention.  Katie is very timid and likes places to hide, especially if workmen are about.  Sophie is very laid back. 
 
Sophie likes to go outside but not far.  She is back in seconds if you call her.  Katie likes to just stay in the garden.  Both can use a cat flap.
 
Share a bed, litter tray and food/water bowls
 
No More applications for these two cats thank you.

 POPPY HAS NOW FOUND A NEW HOME

Cannot be Homed to Seaton Delaval area

This is Poppy, as you can see she is a pretty Ginger and White girl. She came from a multi cat household in the Seaton Delaval area, so for obvious reasons we cannot rehome her in the same area. She is young, about 2 years, but in that short life has produced several litters of kittens. Poppy now needs a home where she is wanted for more than breeding kittens, she needs love and affection. She is now neutered, chipped and vaccinated, so ready to enjoy being part of quiet household.
NO MORE APPLICATIONS FOR POPPY PLEASE

WHISKERS - HAS NOW FOUND A LOVING NEW HOME

Must be homed into the North Tyneside area.

Whiskers came from the household with 17 cats. She was the one with the most problems, in that she came into care with a nasal problem, which causes her to be unable to smell food, hence her owner had fed her only on strong smelling foods, such as Tuna. On discovering her problem, she was treated by our Vet, and now will eat the good quality dried food we at CP Newcastle use.
Whiskers is a very placid, easy going cat, and would make a wonderful companion for anyone seeking companionship from their pet. NO MORE APPLICATIONS FOR WHISKERS PLEASE

GORDY HAS NOW FOUND A NEW LOVING HOME
Cannot be homed within the Gosforth area

Gordy first came to our attention when we received a phone call from a concerned person who had seen this poor cat, wandering around the Gosforth area in all weathers. We then added his details to our lost and found, and then on seeing a photo of him, got him into our care as quickly as possible. 
It was obvious that Gordy wasnt very well, and indeed, on examination by our Vet it was discovered that Gordy had Cancer on the tips of his ears, a condition often seen in cats with white ears, who are inclined by the lack of pigmentation to be victims of Cancer, caused by the sun.
Many cats suffer this condition, which could so easily be avoided by the application of Sun Cream on the ears.
Gordy was lucky that his condition was spotted early enough to make an operation viable, and as you can see by the photo, he is feeling very sorry for himself, but will soon be ready for a new home.
Gordy is a very loving little lad, not very old, who now desperately needs a home where he doesn't need to wander in search of food and shelter, and he will have people around him who truly love him.
UPDATE6th June - No more applications for Gordy as he has now found a loving new home

RASCAL AND SIMBA - TWO YOUNG MALES WHO NEED A HOME TOGETHER. - these two cats will be going to a new home on Saturday

NOTE:- THESE ARE INDOOR CATS AND MUST BE KEPT THAT WAY AS THEY ARE NOT STREETWISE

These two lovely youngsters, Rascal, a semi long haired black and white, aged 2 and Simba a 1 year old Tabby, came into our care when their owner was unable to keep them due to the current climate.  These two need a home together, as they rely greatly upon one another. They have been used to a young child in the house, but would be best suited to a family with slightly older children.
NO MORE APPLICATIONS PLEASE

INTRODUCING JOSIE - A 12 MONTH OLD QUEEN - has now found a new home
Cannot be rehomed to the Elswick area

Josie, is a fabulous youngster, a bit nervous at first, but will soon be purring and giving you lots of loves.  She was left behind when her owners moved house, a lady did try and take her in, but her two cats picked on Josie, so now Josie doesnt trust other cats, so would be best in a home with no other cats.
She is now neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, as well as being wormed, de-flead and Vet Checked.
No longer available

CARLEY - A VERY AFFECTIONATE YOUNG FEMALE- on hold pending a Home Visit
cannot be rehomed to the North Shields area.

This adorable young queen was found straying in the North Shields area, and no owner has come forward in response to advertising by the finder.
He is black and white, with stunning amber eyes, and absolutely loves affection, so much so that she will try and catch your hand with her paws to get strokes.
On HOLD - Home visit pending - NO MORE APPLICATIONS PLEASE

JELLYBEAN & RUBY - a pair of Young Females- NO MORE APPLICATIONS PLEASE - home visit pending
cannot be rehomed to the Jarrow area

These two young cats, Jelly, aged 11 months and Ruby aged 9 months came into care when once again, a relationship broke down. Both cats are now neutered, chipped and vaccinations commenced.
Both cats are
understandably upset at the moment, but both are loving and full of play. They would fit into a home without young children, as they are not used to them, but would be fine with older children, as they home they came from was very quiet.
THESE TWO CATS ARE ON HOLD PENDING A HOME VISIT

FINNIGAN & LUCIOUS a pair of 9 month old boys REHOMED 30th March
cannot be rehomed to the Gateshead area.

These two lovely boys came to us when a relationship broke down and the couple separated, neither able to keep the cats. Both cats had been well cared for as they were chipped, vaccinated and neutered.

They are not birth brothers, as they came from two different litters, hence Finnigan is a bigger cat and coloured white with tabby markings. Finnigan is the adventurer of the two, while Lucious, the black and white one is more into cuddles.
NO MORE APPLICATIONS FOR THESE CATS AS THEY HAVE NOW BEEN REHOMED.

WOODY A 3 YEAR OLD MALE - ON HOLD - NOW IN HIS NEW HOME
Cannot be rehomed within the Morpeth area

Woody came into our care when a lady who had 17 cats and faced eviction asked us for help. Because of their past, we decided to retain them in our care until we were sure they were well socialised to human interaction.
At first all the cats were very shy, some still are, but Woody, a gorgeous Black semi long haired male, neutered, vaccinated and now microchipped, soon overcame any nerves he may have had, and showed us his true personality. Woody is vocal, and loves his food. He is also very friendly indeed, and would be fine as a family pet. Although we would recommend homes with slightly older children, as none of these cats are used to small children.

NO MORE APPLICATIONS PLEASE

BECKY AND CARLA - DESPERATE FOR A HOME TOGETHER- have now found a new home together
Cannot be homed within the Morpeth area.

These two females come from the same multi cat household as the kitten mentioned above. They simply have not had a great deal of interaction with humans, but are improving with every day they are in our care. These girls are only 5 years old, neutered, vaccinated and now microchipped. They would love a home together, where there are no young children to scare and upset them. So if you have an older family, these well behaved cats would fit in really well. This pair will, with patience and understanding come around to be loving cats for the right owner.

SUKI - AN ALL BLACK SHORT HAIRED 4 YEAR OLD FEMALE-on hold pending a  home visit
Cannot be homed around the Cullercoats area
photo not our usual quality as Suki is still unsure of the camera.


This lovely girl, who only has half a tail, was homed by us 2 years ago, but has now unfortunately had to come back into our care due to no fault of her own. Suki is an indoor cat and has not known the outside, so we would like an indoor home for her once again.  Suki is loving, and should be fine for a family pet with older children.
NO MORE APPLICATIONS FOR THIS CAT

CLIFF HAS NOW FOUND A NEW HOME.
 
 

MARLEY - A YOUNG TABBY FEMALE. THIS CAT IS NOW REHOMED
Cannot be rehomed to the Blyth area.

Marley was found living rough in a car park in Blyth, where she had been living amongst a feral colony for some time. Luckily for Marley, our Feral Monitor, Kelly, noted that Marley had been injured, and sought Veterinary attention for her, where it was discovered that Marley was a domestic cat and not a feral, as thought.
Ads were placed locally and on our website, but no one has come forward to claim this delightful, friendly little queen, so we are now seeking a new home for her.
Marley had several injuries to her neck, which are now healing really well. She is neutered, and will be vaccinated and chipped before going to her new home.
Marley is very friendly indeed, and should be a suitable family pet for a family with responsible children.
REHOMED NO MORE APPLICATIONS PLEASE

Disturbing News

It seems more and more people are deliberately allowing their cats to breed litter after litter of kittens, in order to sell them to Pet Shops.

I am sure you have all noticed how few kittens we have had this year, and this growing trend of selling kittens is the reason.

I recently had a lady phoned me asking me for a neutering voucher as her cat had given birth to 6 kittens the week before, on asking her what she intended to do with the kittens, she told me that they were already booked into a Pet Shop, so I told her how CP would ensure the kittens would get a lovely new home, be vaccinated, chipped, health checked etc., but her response was, 'well if you pay me more than the pet shop you can have them'.

I was so angry I told her to get the Pet Shop to neuter her cat while she was there.........

Wrong I know, but, this trend has to stop !

Cats Protection, RSPCA and all the various charities in the area, have worked hard to eliminate the 'killer' diseases such as FIV, Leukemia, and I believe we are close to doing that, but, this indiscriminate breeding and selling will only propagate these and other serious animal diseases, and there is nothing we can do about it.





Please Note:- All cats who arrive into our care who have been used to living totally indoors, appear timid and shy whilst in our outdoor pens, this is because they are frightened by all the noises and the sense of danger they feel being taken out of the environment they know and trust, given time, in a new home they will blossom into the loving cat they once were.


 

All adult cats in our care have been thoroughly Vet checked, treated to prevent Fleas and Worms, Vaccinated and tested negative against Feline Aids and Leukemia if required, neutered, microchipped and come with 6 weeks free Insurance from PetPlan. Our Kittens are also all of the above, except we dont neuter kittens as young as 10 weeks.

You will need a solidly made cat carrier in order to transport your cat home, if you havent got one, we can supply a second hand one at prices between £5 and £10.



The Music Playing is by the Legendary Johnny Cash
and is called 'Loves Been Good To Me'


Hopefully this song will help these cats to start a new and happy life.
