As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities. The difference you will make to cats and people As a charity we can continue to help cats and kittens in need thanks to the donations we receive at fundraising events from generous members of the public.

You can expect us to • make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours • support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection • cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy • provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities
