Just like us, our cats can be affected by warmer weather. While they may enjoy lying in sunny spots, there is such a thing as too warm – even for a cat!
When temperatures start to creep up it’s important to keep an eye on your cat and make sure they stay hydrated and safe in the sun. Our free guide has plenty of tips to help you keep your cat safe and happy.

Although many cats love to soak in the sunshine in warm weather, you should make sure that you keep your cat safe from the sun. Find out more.

🐾 It’s Mature Moggies Day! 🐾
Today we’re shining a spotlight on our wonderful older cats, full of love, charm, and cuddles just waiting to be shared!

Senior cats make amazing companions, and here are a few golden oldies currently looking for their forever homes at Cats Protection:

🖤 Salim – 18 years young and full of love
Salim is a black-and-white lap cat who adores human company, he’ll hop straight onto your lap and stay there for hours! After a tough past of untreated digestive issues, he’s now thriving on a special diet and looking for a quiet home to enjoy his well-deserved retirement.

🧡 Pat the Cat – 12-year-old Pat is a gorgeous ginger girl looking for an adult-only home with no other pets. Once she trusts you, she’s affectionate and loving, enjoying sleeping on the bed with her owner. She’s managing arthritis well with daily meds and is ready to curl up beside someone who understands her need for calm and comfort.

🖤🤍 Raven & Smudge – Bonded siblings
At 11, Raven and Smudge are a gorgeous black-and-white duo. Raven’s confident and cuddly, while shy Smudge leans on him for reassurance. They love snuggling in blankets and are hoping for a peaceful home together, away from the stress of the cattery.

💛Could you offer one of these amazing moggies a warm lap and loving home? Older cats are full of love and just waiting for someone to give them a second chance💛
