Welcome to Peterborough Cats Protection
Our branch covers the postcode areas PE1 to PE7 which takes in all the the city centre, south to Yaxley and Farcet, east to Whittlesey and west towards Oundle where we try to help if we can as there is no official coverage. In the north we cover the Market Deeping area with Stamford branch.
With a large city centre area our resources are stretched and we always have a waiting list of cats to come in which we prioritise in accordance with the aims of the charity.
We have five permanent pens and several short term fosterers with temporary pens.
Our helpline operates on a answer machine basis and volunteers return calls as soon as they can. The helpline number is 0845 371 2750.
Free neutering and microchipping
For a limited time, owners living in the area PE1-19 and PE26-29 who are on a low income or state benefit will be able to have their cat neutered and microchipped free of charge. To find out more, call 03000 121212 or go to www.cats.org.uk/peterborough-fens

Fundraising co-ordinator needed!
Are you a good communicator, able to get people involved and can organise events? We are looking for a volunteer who can lead on our fundraising efforts, to help bring in much needed money to help cover our branch running costs.
The branch has a band of volunteers who are able to help out with fundraising, but we need someone who has the time to organise events - whether these be collections, sales or one-off events.
We are also looking for short term kitten fosterers, to look after kittens for a few weeks at a time over the summer months.
We would love to hear from you if you are interested in helping us, so please give us a call on 0845 371 2750 or email us at cphoming@talktalk.net
