Where London's rescue kittens come from

Most kittens on this page live in foster homes with small London cat charities, not in a cattery, so you usually meet them in someone's house (our London rescue kittens guide has the details). When we checked on 28 October 2026, Hounslow Animal Welfare Society and Celia Hammond Animal Trust had the most kittens listed with us, followed by Rescue Remedies and Croydon Animal Samaritans.

Celia Hammond Animal Trust says kitten season runs from spring to late autumn, when it is also looking for homes for mothers and their kittens. Outside those months fewer kittens are listed, so a young adult cat is worth a look too.

Pairs, flats and outdoor space: read each rescue's rules

A single kitten for a flat is the hardest match in London, because several rescues prefer pairs and outdoor access. Croydon Animal Samaritans says kittens "are much better homed as pairs" and generally doesn't home kittens to flats, though a listing will say if a kitten needs an indoor home. Hounslow Animal Welfare Society doesn't home kittens where they can't go outside, or young kittens singly where they would be alone for most of the day, and Celia Hammond Animal Trust says kittens should ideally be adopted in pairs.

What a rescue kitten costs in London

London rescues set their own fees. Hounslow Animal Welfare Society charges £125 for each kitten up to 6 months, Croydon Animal Samaritans £160 for a fully vaccinated kitten (£120 if your own vet vaccinates) with 5 weeks' free insurance, and Celia Hammond Animal Trust suggests a donation of £85 per cat.

If you have been searching "kittens for sale London", a rescue kitten is adopted, not sold: you pay the rescue its fee after a home check. Report a pet advert that asks for money before you have met the kitten to Report Fraud.

Each rescue sets its own fee. Battersea charges £130 for a kitten under six months or £225 for a pair of kittens, 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, and Blue Cross kittens up to 16 weeks start from £175. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

The law in England

In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that kittens under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

The newest was added on 14 November 2026. Each profile links to the rescue, which handles the adoption.

Are there kittens for sale in London?

No. Rescues rehome kittens for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the cat. In and around London today, kittens are listed by Celia Hammond Animal Trust (in London), Feline Friends London (in London) and Croydon Animal Samaritans (in London), and 13 other rescues. Celia Hammond Animal Trust asks a suggested donation of £85 per cat or kitten, Feline Friends London £125 for a single kitten and Croydon Animal Samaritans £160 for a fully vaccinated kitten.

Can I get a free kitten to a good home in London, or one under £100?

Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing kittens in and around London today, the published fees run from £85 at Celia Hammond Animal Trust to £160 at Croydon Animal Samaritans. Some are under £100; the profile shows each animal's fee. For the other 11, see the rescue's own page.
