Scotland Cat Centre

Rescue, recover and rehome. Helping cats and cat owners in need in the Glasgow Area. The centre can house up to 220 cats, in large pens with outside runs.
(167)

First of all, a little bit about us … Glasgow Adoption Centre is ideally situated in the countryside, on the site of what was formerly Cardyke Farm. It is between Robroyston and the tiny village of Auchinloch, but easily accessible from the M80 motorway. Since the Centre was opened by “Take the High Road” actress Eileen McCallum in 1993, it has rescued and rehomed thousands of abandoned cats and k

ittens in the Glasgow area. The Centre is entirely run by friendly Cats Protection Staff, who have the responsibility for the welfare and re-homing of all the cats and kittens. The staff also rely on help from enthusiastic volunteers. Importantly, they also make valuable contributions on the educational side, by visiting local children's nurseries, schools and "Brownie" packs - encouraging cat welfare at an early age! All of our cats have been treated to our minimum veterinary standards, meaning that they have been examined by a veterinary surgeon, been vaccinated against flu, enteritis and chlamydia, treated against fleas, roundworm and tapeworm and also leave the centre microchipped. All cats over 4 months adopted from our centre will have been neutered before leaving our care. All cats from our centre also leave with four weeks free insurance cover with Petplan.

Our Dolly and Polly are like twins 😍🎀

They are sweet girls who are best friends so will need to be homed together! They love to tell you loads of stories and even though they are an older pair, they do not act or seem it like all!!
They can be homed as indoor cats but will need to be the only pets in your household. 🩷

Nothing like a big stretch in the morning to start your day! 😻 ☕️

The handsome Sebastian loves to stretch, he also loves to cuddle in beside you and make air biscuits! 🍪 He’s a great boy that will make someone very happy. He also has the loudest purr in the centre!

He’s a little bit on the chunky side but this makes him extra cuddly, as you can see! Sebastian is looking for an adult only home with direct access to outdoors please.

The beautiful, fluffy Tikka is now up for adoption! 🐾

Tikka is a sweet, gentle soul that was found as a stray. She is always sitting at her window looking for someone to pet her!

She will need access to outdoors and can be homed with children aged 14+, as Tikka is a stray cat, we are unable to know if she has been around children before. But we know she is very sweet and gentle.

Tikka will need to be the only cat in your household.

🐾 Volunteering Opportunities 🐾

This is an exciting role for cat lovers, as our cat care volunteers get to spend time directly with the cats when cleaning their pens, helping with feeding and when enriching their lives before they find their forever homes.

This is at our Scotland Cat Centre, G66 5LD.

We’ve had a new breed of cat come into our centre, can anyone guess the name of the breed? 🤔 🐾

🐾 Big Shout Out to our Volunteers! 🐾
Today we had a get together to celebrate some of our loyal volunteers. They come in on a weekly basis and devote their time and energy for the cats. This involves helping clean pens, keeping on top of the centre and helping to socialise the cats.

They are so vital to us, as it allows us staff to go do the boring things. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without them.

Ps. We also had fun with this toy mic, I think that is more star of the show than the volunteers 😉😎 🎤

13/09/2024

Some of the kittens that you are all helping, thank you again everyone. 🩷

Ps. Please no adoption enquiries, we just wanted to show you some of the fluffy residents that you are helping. 😍

13/09/2024

Wow! A big thank you already to all of you! We know that you are also sending some our way over the next few days, we can’t thank you all enough!!! 🥰🩷

The beautiful Penny was adopted in 2019 with her brother Teddy. Penny and Teddy have been the most adorable loving pets, however, her lovely owners have shared that Penny has sadly passed away. We wanted to create an appreciation post for little Penny, as she was so special.

She came into the centre with her brother and was very scared (and made that known!) however when she got adopted she fell in love with her family and she never looked back. 😍🩷

R.I.P Penny, we are all thinking of you and you are a reminder to us all that rescued pets at the best.🌈 🐾

Little Luna loves to nap under her blanket like a little burrito. 😍 the more tucked in the better she says! 📧: enquiries...

Hello my name is Felix,

I am a handsome man looking for my forever home. I came into care through no fault of my own and I am looking forward to my next big adventure.

I was described as a confident cat in my previous home although I am finding life in the centre quite difficult at the moment. I am looking for a home with adults or teens 13+, I may take some time to come back out of my shell however in the right environment I would gain my confidence back.

I need direct outdoor access and I have lots of exploring to do.

If I sound like the cat for you please apply below.

Love Felix x

The beautiful boy Ally is still looking for his forever home. He’s such a friendly little character so can be a perfect family cat. 🤍 Ally would like access to outdoors so he can stretch his legs but he will mostly spend time with you as he is very affectionate. He will need to be the only cat in your household as he lived with another two cats that caused him a lot of stress. He’s a big bundle of fun and he will make a great addition to your home and/or family. 🤍

Meow! I'm Sebastian and this is my brother Cheshire and we are on the hunt for our new forever home! As you can tell from our photos... WE ARE ADOREABLE!!!!!! We are a little bit on the extra chunky side, but we just say that means we give better cuddles!! We are a little shy in centre life but in our last home we loved attention! We loved a lap to sit on and your bed to make our own!

I never got on well with the toddler in our previous home so we are looking for an adult only home or an older teen who can respect our space if we want some alone time.

We are also looking for a home with direct access to the outdoor world so we can stretch our paws in the grass!

If we seem like the two purrrrfect matches for your home please apply for us now!

Meow, my name is Gingy, a shy boy looking for a quiet home to call my own. I'm quite nervous here at the centre and prefer the safety of my bed. I'm looking for a quiet adult only home with a patient and understanding owner that will give me the time and space I need to grow my confidence and find my feet again. I'm missing my outdoor ventures so my new home will need direct outdoor access please. If you want to be a part of my journey and help me build my trust, please apply for me below, looking forward to hearing from you, love Gingy x

Did you know laser pens may cause more harm than good for your cat? ❗️

Cats are very sensitive to movement, so toys you can move along the floor or dangle in the air will really help to grab their attention. This is why fishing rod toys are so perfect, because you can use them to mimic the prey cats normally hunt in the wild. Try dragging the string away from your cat along the floor and watch your cat wriggle their bum in preparation to pounce.

It’s important to let your cat catch the toy every so often, as this will motivate them to keep playing. Toys such as laser pens can be frustrating for cats as they are unable to actually catch the dot on the floor, which means those happy hormones aren’t released in their brain.

The beautiful Cuddles has a new fan at our centre! One of our Rehoming and Welfare assistants has falling in love with Cuddles. As you can see Cuddles likes to catch up with her every morning to tell her his stories and get some… cuddles!

Cuddles is looking for an outdoor direct access home with no other pets. He is shy at first so he would need understanding best friends to take him on but as you can see, he comes out his shell fast! 🤍

Cats like the adorable Boab tends to get passed by due to his age. As he is 16 years old, people tend to pass by due to him not being a long term commitment. We respect this and understand, but it does mean cats like little Boab spend longer in care looking for his home. We know that it’s a big responsibility taking on an older cat, and we totally get the long term commitment. This post is here for you guys to share for little Boab as we know his family is out there somewhere. 😍🐾

Our Story

Glasgow Adoption Centre is situated in what was formerly Cardyke Farm. In 1993, Cats Protection transformed it into a large adoption centre for cats, cat owners and concerned parties in need in the Glasgow area. In between Robroyston and the village of Auchinloch, the site is the perfect combination of a rural, picturesque setting and easily accessible from the M80 motorway.

We are capable of housing up to 220 cats, in seperate and fully cleanable indoor pens with access to more private runs. Since opening, we have rescued and rehomed thousands of cats, been a source of advice to cat owners and concerned parties in our area and engaged with the local community in all things feline. Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity- a responsibility we take seriously by encouraging responsible and knowledgeable cat ownership in the cat owners of the future. As a charity, our work is dependent on the generosity and kindness of public support. This enables us to provide for the cats in our care, now and in the future. The work never stops, and we are grateful for the support we receive here.

Our centre is open 7 days a week, from 11am until 3pm. If you wish to adopt a rescue cat, are considering the idea or just want to come in to talk to us- please come and visit. Our team will be more than happy to help. Meet some of the cats ready for adoption before your visit. If you have any queries, concerns or just want to talk to us about something feline – give us a call on 0141 779 3341. Our phone line is operational between 9am and 4pm. For queries outside of these times please either call and leave a message (we will get back to you as soon as possible), email us at [email protected] or call the Cats Protecton helpline on 03000 12 12 12.

When you adopt with cats protection, you can be sure that you are receiving an animal companion that has been provided with the very best care and treatment during their time here. Every cat is treated to our minimum veterinary standards. This means that as well as receiving our daily care and attention (and pampering…) they are-
