Rescue details
Stourbridge and District Cats Protection first came into being in September 1981 and was known as the Stourbridge Branch of the Cats Protection League.

In 1998 the charity changed its name nationally and became known simply as Cats Protection.

In 2003, to reflect the wider area that it now covers, the Stourbridge Branch changed its name to Stourbridge and District Cats Protection and is still working hard to help cats in our area of DY1 - DY13.

Our branch is run by volunteers, who care for unwanted cats and kittens until they are re-homed, raise funds to provide them with food and veterinary care, and carry out a myriad of other tasks involved in running the branch.

We operate a helpline each day and advise members of the public on cat care and neutering. More helpers are always needed and welcomed in all areas of our work - whatever time you can spare would be greatly appreciated. To find out more, please contact our Branch Co-ordinator.

If you would like to be kept in touch with what is going on in the Branch, please consider becoming a Branch Member. For just £5.00 a year you'll get free entry into our fundraising events and a receive a quarterly newsletter.

During 2003 we:

- Took in 163 cats and kittens
- Re-homed 156 cats and kittens
- Helped 176 other cats and kittens not in our care
- Had one cat who stopped with us for more than 6 months
- Raised more than £10000 to help cats in our care
- Spent more than £3800 on food and litter for cats in our care
- Spent more than £8400 on veterinary treatment for cats in our care
