Rescue kittens for adoption and rehoming in and around Glasgow

Kittens are rarely listed with us near Glasgow (the count at the top of this page is live), so it pays to know the routes. Purrple Cat Rescue has its rescue centre on St Enoch Square in the city centre, and Fife Cat Shelter, near Kinross, is about 40 miles away. Cats Protection's Glasgow branch keeps all its cats and kittens with fosterers rather than at one centre; we don't list its cats, so search its own site. Our Glasgow rescue kittens guide covers each route.

Purrple Cat Rescue does a virtual home check, then adds you to its pool of approved adopters while it finds a cat to suit you, so how long you wait depends on the cats in its care. Fife Cat Shelter says it isn't in favour of homing a single young kitten where it will be left alone all day, and wants kittens neutered at 6 months, or 5 months for a male; you collect your kitten in person.

Fife Cat Shelter asks a £100 donation for a kitten that isn't yet neutered, Cats Protection's Glasgow branch £140 for a kitten, and Purrple Cat Rescue generally from £250 a cat, depending on each cat's circumstances.

If you have been searching "kittens for sale Glasgow", a rescue kitten is adopted, not sold. Police Scotland takes reports of online marketplace fraud, and suggests reporting the seller to the platform too.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee, and Cats Protection says you can expect to pay £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten, varying between its branches. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.
