Adopting a cat in Norwich
Three Norfolk rescues add their cats with this update, and none of them is inside the city. Venture Farm Cat Rescue sits a couple of miles south of Mattishall, about 11 miles west, and is run entirely by volunteers.
PACT Animal Sanctuary at Woodrising, near Hingham, rehomes cats and kittens from its sanctuary, and FAITH Animal Rescue at Hickling, about 15 miles north-east, keeps its cats in a shared cat house with sofas, hidey holes and a large meshed run.
What adopting a cat costs near Norwich
Venture Farm has no fixed fee but asks for a £100 donation for a cat of 1 to 10 years, £80 for an older cat and £250 for a pair of kittens. PACT asks at least £90 for a cat of 2 to 10, £60 for one over 10, and £130 for a kitten or young cat up to 2 years. FAITH doesn't publish a cat fee.
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.
How cat rescues near Norwich work
Nobody hands over a cat on the spot. Expect an appointment at each of the three, and a home check at Venture Farm and FAITH (Venture Farm, FAITH):
- Venture Farm: meet them at the farm. Viewings are by appointment; the volunteers introduce you to cats that suit you, check your home, then set a time for you to collect.
- PACT: no busy roads. It won't home a cat on an A or B road or a busy main road, asks for pet insurance, and wants everyone in your home to visit the cat at the sanctuary.
- FAITH: indoors to start. You apply by form before any meeting, and its adoption agreement keeps a new cat indoors for its first 6 to 8 weeks.
Kittens, older cats and Cats Protection
Venture Farm homes kittens only in pairs, and PACT and Venture Farm both charge less for a cat over 10. Cats Protection rehomes cats as well, though its cats aren't on our pages: look on its own site too.

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.
Norwich cat adoption FAQ
Tap a question to expand
Where can I adopt a rescue cat in Norwich?
From Venture Farm Cat Rescue near Mattishall, PACT Animal Sanctuary at Woodrising or FAITH Animal Rescue at Hickling. All three list cats with us from this update, and adoption goes through the rescue, not LocalPetFinder.
How much does it cost to adopt a cat near Norwich?
Venture Farm asks a £100 donation for a cat of 1 to 10, £80 for an older cat and £250 for a kitten pair. PACT asks at least £90 for an adult, £60 over 10 and £130 for a cat up to 2 years. FAITH publishes no fee.
Can I just turn up at a Norwich cat rescue?
No. Venture Farm opens by appointment only, PACT is an appointment-only centre, and FAITH meets adopters strictly by appointment after an application.
Will a rescue near Norwich home a cat on a main road?
Not PACT: it won't rehome a cat on an A or B road or a busy main road. It will consider a home with a catio or a cat-proof garden.
How do I rehome my cat in Norwich?
FAITH Animal Rescue runs a waiting list for cats through its owner form. Our Norwich rehoming page covers the other options.
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.
