Northern Ireland Cat Centre

Call Directions Website

Northern Ireland Cat Centre We are Cats Protection, the UK's largest cat welfare charity, based in Belfast. We're running solely on appointment basis.
(542)

If you have any questions, please give us a call! An adoption fee of £75 per adult cat and £95 per kitten is charged. This fee goes towards the care the cat has already received while at the adoption centre. On average the Belfast Adoption Centre spends approximately £150 - £200 on each cat in its care. Cats Protection does not receive funding from any government or lottery bodies and therefore relies on donations from the kind public and adopters to allow us to continue the vital work that we do. All adopted cats will have received the following treatments:

- A thorough veterinary examination
- Have received at least their 1st vaccination
- Treated for worms and fleas
- Neutered (if old enough)
- Microchipped

Adopters will also receive 4 weeks free insurance from Petplan upon adoption.

It's that time again.... Halloween!🎃

Whilst we want everyone to have a wonderful Halloween, we also want to remind you that this is an extremely stressful time for our pets.

We see a massive increase of pets going missing at this time of year as they try to get away from the noise. You may find your pets behaviour changing during this time and will need to create a safe environment for them.

Jimmy Neutron & Danny Phantom (nearly 5 months old) are seeking a loving home together! 😍

Jimmy & Danny were previously up for adoption separately, but since a number of their siblings have been adopted and their little crew got smaller, these boys have stuck together like glue! And so they are now seeking a loving home together, as a really sweetly bonded pair - they walk around rubbing each other like something from a Disney movie!

They have grown into very affectionate, playful and loving boys. They love to chirp to each other as they play! And love attention and a good snuggle. Danny is FIV+, and so for his safety, the boys are seeking an indoor only home - FIV is a virus which can effect a cats immune system, but Danny is a very healthy kitten! With proper love and care (and indoor living), FIV cats can live long, healthy, normal lives.

Given a vaccination ✅

We ask that YOU:
Provide food and clean water ✅
Have shelter for them ✅
Get veterinary care when required ✅

They will require a secure barn, stable, shed, garage or similar space where they can stay initially before being released.
