Haslemere Cats Protection

Jan 04, 2024

Cat Protection Charity

Cats Protection Haslemere has three main objectives: Finding good homes for cats in need, supporting and encouraging the neutering of cats and improving people's understanding of cats and their care.


The Haslemere Adoption Centre accepts Cats for re-homing from Local Cats Protection Branches, other feline rescue organisations as well as from the general public. Cats coming into their care are given a thorough assessment and any necessary veterinary treatments are then carried out. Staff at the Cats Protection Adoption Centre in Haslemere work very hard to reduce any stress levels the cat may have and will then seek to match individual cats with a new and loving long term home.


How they work: 


Cats Protection Haslemere pride themselves on the love and care given to all their resident cats and kittens. However, they recognise that they can not always provide the levels of love, comfort and security found in a real home. As a result, they aim to match their cats with the right long term homes. This may be with a family with children, an older person who needs a companion, or with a rural home that needs mousers!


Since a single female cat can reproduce more than 100 kittens during her life, Cats Protection also champions the practise of neutering as the only effective way to reduce the number of unwanted cats in the UK. Haslemere Adoption Centre neuters kittens around the age of 9 - 10 weeks. Neutering at this age is safe and ethical.

How to help:


Without volunteers, Haslemere Cats Protection simply wouldn't exist. Any time someone can give to volunteering with Cats Protection in Haslemere will improve the lives of the cats and kittens in the local community. Full support, guidance and role-specific training is provided, and out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed in full.


Volunteer roles are varied and plentiful! You could enjoy a volunteer role hand rearing kittens or you may have a role providing customer service to visiting members of the public. You could also be a transport volunteer, transporting litter, food, equipment and even cats! Or you could get involved in taking care of the DIY jobs at the centre. There are an abundance of other roles too.

Cats Protection is a registered charity, no 203644.

Interview with Ian Rowley, owner of The Haslemere Bookshop The Haslemere Bookshop is an independent bookshop at the heart of Haslemere High Street selling new and second-hand books, and cards. Did you face any challenges when setting up the business? There has been a bookshop on the High Street for many years. When I took over the shop from Ronald Timms in 2014, I had no idea how a bookshop worked; fortunately the staff (all friends or family) did! Since then, through their hard work, the business has been transformed. Not only does the shop look very different but we are online, more community focussed and our second-hand book section rejuvenated.
