Rescue cats near Ludlow
Cat rescues are thinner on the ground around Ludlow. Worcestershire Animal Rescue Shelter has a cattery at Newland, about 24 miles to the south east, and Shropshire Cat Rescue has its own at Bayston Hill, just south of Shrewsbury.
Each cat links to its rescue's own page, and you apply there; the kittens page shows the youngest.
Cats Protection and Ludlow
Cats Protection has no branch page for Ludlow on its website, and we don't list its cats, so check its own site for cats in south Shropshire.
Cat adoption fees near Ludlow
Worcestershire Animal Rescue Shelter takes £115 for a cat and £125 for a kitten under 6 months, with four weeks of free insurance cover. Shropshire Cat Rescue asks at least £70 a cat or kitten and £100 for a pedigree.
Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. 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 fees start from £150 for cats aged 4 months to 7 years. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.
Adopting a cat from Ludlow
The two rescues work quite differently (the shelter at Newland and Shropshire Cat Rescue):
- Newland. The shelter doesn't let visitors walk round the cattery. After you apply for a cat, expect at least two meets, often finishing within a week of the first; in between you set up a safe room at home, and three follow-up care calls come after adoption.
- Bayston Hill. Shropshire Cat Rescue reminds adopters that a cat can live 20 years or more, asks about your home and where you live, then invites you to an appointment to meet suitable cats; it may also ask for a home visit, always with notice.
The law in England
- Microchipping cats. In England, cats must be microchipped before they are 20 weeks old and registered on a database, a rule in force since 10 June 2024. An owner found without one has 21 days to comply or may be fined up to £500. Free-living cats (farm, feral and community cats) are exempt.
- Lucy's Law: buying a kitten. 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.

LocalPetFinder and other pet sites
Tap a question to expand
Is LocalPetFinder the same as Petfinder?
No. LocalPetFinder is an independent UK website and is not connected with Petfinder. We bring together dogs, cats and rabbits from UK rescues and rehoming centres, and every profile links to the rescue that cares for the animal, so you apply with them directly.
How is LocalPetFinder different from Pets4Homes?
Pets4Homes describes itself as the UK’s largest online pet marketplace, connecting buyers with breeders as well as shelters and charities. LocalPetFinder is for adoption: our listings come from rescues and rehoming centres and from owners rehoming their own pet, each checked by a reviewer before it goes live. We do not take adverts from breeders.
Can I find RSPCA animals on LocalPetFinder?
No. We do not list the RSPCA’s animals, at its national centres or its branches. To see them, use RSPCA Find a Pet, the RSPCA’s own search for animals in its centres and branches across England and Wales.
