The National Cat Center

The National Cat Centre (NCC) near the Ashdown Forest, Sussex, is the latest development in Cats Protection's history. The site combines all the elements of the charity's work - cat adoption, education, veterinary care and administration.

Cats Protection rehomes and reunites 55,500 cats per year, but with a feline population of around 9.2 million we know that more needs to be done. The 202 pens at the NCC will, in time, allow us to rehome up to 3,000 more cats every year.
