🐾💙 It's Volunteer Week! 💙🐾

This week, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of our wonderful volunteers at Cats Protection Dorset Cat Centre.

From helping to care for our cats, supporting adoptions, assisting with administration, maintaining our centre, and representing us in the community, our volunteers make an incredible difference every single day. Their dedication, kindness, and hard work help us give hundreds of cats the care and second chance they deserve.

Quite simply, we couldn't do what we do without them. Thank you for giving your time, energy, and compassion to support our cats and our team. You are truly valued and appreciated. 🐱❤️

Would you like to join our amazing volunteer team?

We are currently recruiting Fundraising Volunteers to help raise vital funds for the cats in our care. It's a fun and rewarding role, and a great way to meet new people while making a real difference.

🏠🐱 Good News for Cat Owners Renting in England 🐱🏠

From 1 May 2026, the new Renters’ Rights Act gives private tenants in England the right to make a written request to keep a pet in their rented home — and landlords cannot unreasonably refuse. ❤️

Requests for a single cat are expected to almost always be considered reasonable.

A landlord cannot refuse simply because:
❌ They don’t like cats
❌ They are worried about possible damage

However, there are some situations where refusal may still be considered reasonable, including:
⚠️ Another tenant has a cat allergy
⚠️ The property is too small for the number of cats requested
⚠️ The building owner/freeholder does not allow pets

This is a huge step forward in helping more cats stay with the people who love them 🐾

Following yesterday’s precautionary closure due to a gas leak in the local area, we’re pleased to advise we are back open as normal today.
A huge thank you to Dorset Fire & Rescue, Dorset Police, SGN and everyone involved for keeping us fully informed and updated throughout the afternoon.
We’re very grateful for their support and our team's efforts in helping us ensure the wellbeing of the cats in our care, leaving cats like Tequila & Guinness here blissfully unaware of events going on nearby.
Huge thanks to everyone involved for their hard work. The roads are now reopen albeit with traffic lights so if visiting the centre, you may need to allow a little extra time.

🐾 Looking for the perfect mix of kitten charm? 🐾

Meet Guinness, Tequila, Daniel & Juniper — four gorgeous youngsters currently looking for loving forever homes ❤️

These adorable siblings came into our care via the RSPCA after cat numbers became too high in their previous home. Now around 4 months old, they are thriving into bubbly, adventurous and playful kittens, all eager to explore the world around them.

✨ Guinness, Tequila and Juniper are especially confident little explorers who love toys, climbing and investigating anything new!
✨ Daniel is just as handsome and ready to find a family of his own too.

These kittens are looking for homes with the time, patience and space to help support them through the rest of their kittenhood. When old enough, they will need safe access to an enclosed garden away from busy roads.

🐱 Guinness would likely love to be adopted with either Tequila or Juniper, as he seems happiest with a feline companion.

So now the question is… which of these delightful youngsters could be your perfect cocktail ingredient? 🍸🐾

We will also shortly have more kittens ready for adoption, so please do get in touch if you may be interested in offering a loving home.

💧🐱 Keeping Your Cat Hydrated During Warm Weather 🐱💧

As temperatures rise, it’s extra important to make sure your cat stays hydrated. Cats often don’t drink enough water naturally, and dehydration can quickly become serious in hot weather.

Signs your cat may be dehydrated include:
⚠️ Sticky or tacky gums
⚠️ Skin that doesn’t spring back quickly when gently pinched
⚠️ Dry, sunken eyes
⚠️ Cool or cold paws

If you’re worried your cat may be dehydrated, contact your vet straight away.

Here are some simple ways to encourage your cat to drink more water:
💧 Keep water bowls clean and topped up with fresh water
🏠 Place water bowls away from food and litter trays
🥣 Use glass, ceramic or metal bowls
🐾 Choose wider bowls so their whiskers don’t touch the sides
🌳 Put extra water bowls around your home and garden
🥫 Feeding wet food can also help increase their water intake

Stay cool and keep your cats happy and hydrated ❤️🐾
