Paws Protect

At Paws Protect, we understand that survivors face many barriers when leaving an abusive situation. We exist to enable people to leave for safety knowing that their cat will be looked after in a loving home, until they are able to be reunited. Paws Protect is run by an experienced woman-only team, who take referrals, collect cats, and arrange foster placements through a wonderful network of dedicated volunteers.

The service is completely confidential to ensure safety for owners, volunteers and cats. While it is not possible for the owner to visit their cat while they are being fostered, the Paws Protect team visit the fosterer on a regular basis and provide monthly updates to the owner. The service is free to access, include vet treatment needed.
