Did you know it’s not actually cat fur that causes allergies? It’s actually a protein found in cats saliva, which ends up on their fur. Cat hair can also carry pollen and dust mites that trigger reactions in people with hay fever, asthma or eczema.

Lovely Jack is super friendly, affectionate and playful. Poor Jack was found as a stray back in November and came into the care of Cats Protection.
When he was handed into a local vets, he had an injury to his tail and he has had to have most of his tail removed. He's left with a stumpy little tail, which just adds to his charm! He is very much enjoying home comforts now he's off the streets and loves to have a snooze so is looking for his new home.
He will need to be the only cat in his new household though.

Does anyone recognise this cat? He/she has been appearing at a property in Bowling Green Road RG18 3BY and seems very hungry.
The fur is matted but there appears to be a large shaved area so the cat has possibly been seen by a vet in the last few weeks.
If you recognise the cat or have any information, please let us know. Many thanks.

Happy Easter everyone!
We hope you're all having a great time but please remember chocolate could be deadly for your cat.
While most people know that chocolate is toxic to dogs, many have questions about cats. It can be tempting when we’re enjoying food to want to share with our furry friends. But chocolate can cause some serious health issues for cats.

Good News Adoption Story
Dexter was adopted back in January after a long stay with us.
He was originally adopted back in January 2013 but his owner's circumstances changed and he moved in with another family. After their circumstances changed too, Dexter decided he could look after himself and took to the streets.
He was found and taken to a vet where his microchip was found to still be registered to his original owner, who took him back in. They tried everything to settle him in but unfortunately he didn't get on with the other animals who now lived in the home, and so his owner made the tough decision to rehome him.
Somehow on his travels Dexter had acquired a lesion to one of his arms. Once in our care we found that it wasn't healing and so he spent several months with us having a variety of treatments at the vets.
Eventually he was pronounced fit to home and so his new life began, we were even able to reunite him with his favourite duck toy which we found after he'd gone home.
Dexter's new owners sent these lovely photos of him once he was settled and we think you'll agree, he looks very much at home.

MISSING from Great Shefford, Berkshire, RG17 since 20 March 2025. Small black female cat. Neutered and chipped. She has 4 white feet, white chest, white whiskers and a distinctive white heart shape on her belly between her front legs. She was wearing a reflective collar with an address tag and bell when she went missing but this may have come off. Her owners are searching everywhere for her.
If you have seen her or have any information, please get in touch. Many thanks.

Our Story

Hello from all of us here at Newbury Adoption Centre. Our branch has been rescuing and re-homing cats since 1965. In 1994, thanks to the kindness of the branch's founder Mrs Irene Earnshaw, we were able to open a 42 pen Adoption Centre and continue the good work in her memory.

2014 saw the opening of Cats Protections first 'satellite centre' at Pets at Home in Newbury, which enabled us to achieve a record of 590 homes found for cats and kittens in our care.

Early 2016, due to the kindness and generosity of a supporter we were able to replace the 20+ year old cattery with more spacious cat pens and a purpose built Isolation unit.
