Cat Guardians is the free service provided by Cats
Protection, aimed at giving peace of mind to cat owners concerned about what
might happen if they were to pass away before their cat.
Our Promise
If you have cats, we know how much they mean to you. Should something happen to you, you will naturally want to make sure that someone is there to care for the cat or cats you love.
Through our Cat Guardians service, individuals can make arrangements with us so that in the event of their death, we will take care of their cats and try to find them a loving new home. Furthermore, Cats Protection promises never to put a healthy cat to sleep, so you can feel assured that we will give your feline friend all the love and care they need until we can find them the new home they deserve.

What happens?
If you pass away and have registered with our Cat Guardians service, then we will arrange to bring your cat or cats into the care of one of our nearby branches or adoption centres. Once there, our dedicated volunteers and staff would care for them, as we would for any cat that needs our help.
We would then look after your cat or cats while we try to find them a loving new home that matches their personality and needs.

Make a difference to the lives of even more cats and kittens…
Many people who register with our Cat Guardians service also choose to remember Cats Protection in their will, as a result of the time and effort we are willing to exert to secure the welfare of their cats. These gifts are vital to us, as more than half of the work we do to help cats and kittens throughout the UK is funded by this incredible generosity.
