Welcome to your local Cats Protection!
Our branch was formed in 2001 by a group of local Cat Lovers! Since then we've been trying our best to home and help needy and unwanted cats and kittens in the area!At present we cover the following postcodes:
- RM11,RM12,RM13,RM14 and parts of RM15
Like all the local branches, we share the Charity's missions and goals: to ensure that every cat is given the chance of a life where it will be treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs. We also seek to alleviate the problem of unwanted cats, by offering information and advice about responsible cat ownership and promoting the benefits of neutering.

OSBORNE-WHEN 9 LIVES ARE NOT ENOUGH-stop press-also see our update below!
Osborne, our longest ever foster cat, who has been with us for over 18 months now, has finally been offered a home. This is wonderful news for him and for everyone at the Branch. However, on a routine health check at the vets, prior to his homing, it was discovered that Osborne had a lump, the size of a tangerine, attached to his liver. Although the lump is non-malignant, ie. non-cancerous, it is a cyst, which can be fast growing and whilst in our care he has shown no signs of illness or discomfort, this lump does need to be removed. The cost to have this lump removed is £1,500. We are a very small self-financing branch and just do not have the money for this surgery. Osborne is a very special cat for whom we have cared for a long time, in all that time he has been over looked and now, 'purrfect happiness' arrives for him.......and he has been dealt this cruel blow. Therefore we are making this appeal on behalf of Osborne to try to raise the money to help him on his way to a better life, we hope that if you read this plea for Osborne then you will feel the same. If you could spare just a few pounds then please do send your donation to Cats Protection Hornchurch, PO Box 225, Upminster, Essex, RM14 1YJ. Cheques should be made payable to Cats Protection Hornchurch & District - Many thanks indeed and we will keep you updated on this page of Osborne's progress. For further information please do feel free to contact our Homing Officer, Alison Gambles, on our branch line: 01708 755211.
UPDATE - 14TH APRIL 2010
Just to let you know as of today's date we have now raised over £400.00 for Osborne. Our funds have been greatly helped by a young and very talented local musician, Khloe Taylor. Khloe recently organised a fantastic musical evening at the Windmill Public House in Upminster. The event featured live music by Khloe, kareoke and a raffle - see our Events page for more details of how Khloe helped Osborne! Can you help Osborne in any way?

Can you give CHARLIE a home?Charlie is a black and white male cat who came into our care in a dreadful state but who has, quite simply, flourished with us. However, he has been diagnosed as diabetic and does need daily injections.
