Our vision for volunteering

Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.

The difference you will make to cats and people

Our fundraising volunteers use their passion for cats and people to raise the vital funds needed to help more cats and kittens in need.
