Welcome to Cats Protection.
We are Cats Protection's most northerly branch. Since the branch was
formed, in 1985, our small group of dedicated volunteers has been caring
for Shetland's cats and kittens. We aim to rescue and rehome cats,
raise awareness of the importance of neutering and inform the public on
the welfare of cats and kittens. You can learn more about Cats
Protection by visiting the What We Do page, or just browse the site to learn more about our work and activities.
On the Features page you can find Home to Home, a service for folk who want to
rehome cats without them going to the shelter. At the moment we have three cats in Ollaberry who will soon need a new home.
Elderly Scoobie, on the right, would like a new home!, See more cats on our Adopt a Cat page.
We are sometimes able to issue vouchers to help with the cost of neutering. All enquiries about this should go to Derek Walsh on 01957 722282
If you use Amazon UK, you can generate money for the Branch by using
this link - whenever you use the link below to go there, it generates
revenue from Amazon. Store the link in your bookmarks and help cats
without even thinking about it!

Westside Vets offer 10% off the cost of vaccinations (not other treatments) on production of a CP membership card, so remember to take yours with you on your annual visit!
At the moment we are very short of people willing and able to do
"home visits" before a cat is rehomed. This is frustrating for
prospective new owners, not to mention the cats! If you think you could
help with this important work, please contact us.
Another way you could help is by being willing to have neutered feral
cats living on your land. Ferals fend for themselves, and help keep
rodents down, so if you have croft land that could support them, please
get in touch.
The Branch has a Facebook page here
