Cats Protection (CP) formerly The Cats Protection League, is the UK’s oldest and largest feline charity, actively helping and rehoming cats all the way from the Shetland Islands in the North to Falmouth in the South West.

Our work involves the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of needy cats and kittens. We provide shelter, food and veterinary attention to all in our care until we can find them a home. We maintain a strict non-euthanasia policy - cats are never euthanased, except on veterinary advice.

Over the last 75 years, our organisation has experienced phenomenal growth, reflecting the fact that the cat is now the UK’s favourite pet, with 7.7 million domestic cats. CP has a large voluntary branch fostering network and 30 premanent Shelters. Ninety percent of our work is carried out by a dedicated network of 5,000 volunteers who spend over 6 million hours each year on cat care.

The Macclesfield branch of Cats Protection is one of over 250 voluntary branches which operates tirelessly day and night on behalf of the nation’s cats and kittens
We are essentially self-sufficient, dependent on funds raised locally to care for the cats and kittens that we rescue.

'Unfortunately Macclesfield Branch of Cats Protection are only able to help
cats within Macclesfield and surrounding area,We cover the following postcode area's

SK 9 SK10 SK11 SK12

However, we can advise people
where to go for help, be it Cats Protection groups in other areas or other sanctuaries'

OUR MAIN AIMS ARE

1: TO RESCUE STRAY AND UNWANTED CATS AND KITTENS,
REHABILITATE AND RE-HOME THEM WHERE POSSIBLE.

2: TO ENCOURAGE THE NEUTERING OF ALL CATS AND KITTENS
THAT ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR BREEDING.

3: TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ON THE CARE OF CATS AND KITTENS.

We are always in need of some extra help one way or another.
It is only to be expected that the committee should do most of the general running of the branch but there are areas where non committee members can help.
