Rescue kittens in North Wales
Unlike puppies, rescue kittens were easy to find in North Wales in early November: when we checked, about half the cats listed by the Prestatyn cattery were under a year old, and the Trelogan centre had a handful more. This guide shows where they were, what each rescue charges, and the jobs a kitten still needs after it comes home.

The short answer
For a rescue kitten in North Wales, look first at Feline Fur Babies North Wales in Prestatyn: on 7 November 2026, 14 of its cats listed with us were kittens of 4 to 9 months. North Clwyd Animal Rescue at Trelogan had five. A kitten costs £200 at Feline Fur Babies (£190 if pure black or black and white) and £120 at North Clwyd.
- Rescue adoption fees
- Each rescue sets its own 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 kittens up to 16 weeks start from £175. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.
- Feline Fur Babies North Wales
- £200, or £190 for a pure black or black and white kitten; £175 once it reaches 8 months.
- North Clwyd Animal Rescue
- £120 a kitten, with a £10 deposit to reserve.
- Freshfields, Wales centre
- £100 with a first vaccine, £125 with both.

Where the kittens were on 7 November
Any kitten from the rescues we list shows on our North Wales kittens page, and its count is live.
Feline Fur Babies North Wales, Prestatyn
Fourteen kittens between 4 and 9 months, about half of its cats on our pages that day. Its fee table splits kittens by colour, and a junior of 8 to 18 months costs £175, so check which band a kitten falls in.
North Clwyd Animal Rescue, Trelogan
Five kittens among its cats. It also takes in feral kittens that are better suited to a farm, and semi feral ones that can become friendly with time and plenty of handling by someone experienced.
Freshfields, Nebo
No kittens at the Wales centre that day, only adults and pairs. Its fee is the same for a cat or kitten and depends on how many vaccines it has had.
What a young kitten still needs from you
A kitten often leaves before every job is done:
- Neutering. A Feline Fur Babies kitten not yet ready for the operation is marked as needing to return for neutering once old enough; North Clwyd gives you a date to come back to its vets.
- Staying in. Feline Fur Babies' guidance is that no cat goes out in its first year of life.
- Vaccines. At Freshfields the fee rises from £100 to £125 once both jabs are done, so ask which a kitten has had.
- A microchip. Chipping a cat is optional in Wales. North Clwyd chips every animal before it leaves, and Feline Fur Babies' cat pages say whether a cat is chipped yet; keep the details up to date.
Searched "kittens for sale" in North Wales?
A rescue fee is a donation towards neutering, jabs and care, not a price. If you buy, Welsh law since 10 September 2021 means a commercial seller can sell only kittens it bred itself, with the mother present (Welsh Government). Never pay for a kitten you haven't met; report a seller who asks for money first to Report Fraud.

The law in Wales
Microchipping cats
In Wales, microchipping a cat is a choice rather than a legal requirement: gov.uk says owners in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland "can choose to microchip" their cat. Compulsory cat microchipping applies in England only.
Lucy's Law: buying a kitten
In Wales, Lucy's Law has meant since 10 September 2021 that kittens can only be bought where they were bred, or from a rescue or rehoming centre.
