Rescue cats in and around Perth
Cats are thin on the ground on this page. The one cat rescue we list within reach is Fife Cat Shelter near Kinross, about 13 miles south of Perth, and when we checked on 7 November 2026 it had a handful of adult cats and no kittens. Several of them were shy cats that need a quiet, indoor home.
Fife Cat Shelter keeps its cats in two catteries near Kinross or with fosterers, and it doesn't reserve cats: the first suitable adopter to complete the forms and pay takes the cat.
Cat charities around Perth and Dundee
Cats Protection has a volunteer branch in Perth covering the PH postcodes, licensed by Perth and Kinross Council. Its cats are not on LocalPetFinder; each one has an enquiry link on Cats Protection's own site. Our guide to cat rescues around Perth covers both and what each asks.
What a rescue cat costs here
Fife Cat Shelter asks a £120 donation for a neutered cat, paid when you collect. Cats Protection in Perth charges £100 for a cat, covering neutering, vaccinations, a microchip, worming, flea treatment and a health check.
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.
Before you bring a cat home
Ring Fife Cat Shelter to arrange a visit; it is closed on Sundays. Plan for the trip too, because it never delivers: every cat must be collected in person by its new owner.
Microchipping a cat is a choice rather than a legal duty in Scotland (gov.uk), but a chipped cat is far easier to reunite with its owner, so ask whether yours has one.
Thinking of a dog as well? Each available dog's card on PADS's website says whether that dog can live with cats, and many say no, so check before you bring the two together.
The law in Scotland
- Microchipping cats. In Scotland, 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 Scotland, Lucy's Law has banned the third-party sale of kittens under six months since 1 September 2021.
- Rehoming licences. In Scotland, since 1 September 2021, anyone sourcing five or more animals in any 12-month period to rehome as pets needs a licence (Scottish Government). A licence is a useful sign that a Scottish rescue is what it says it is.
Perth cat adoption FAQ
Tap a question to expand
Where can I adopt a cat near Perth?
Fife Cat Shelter near Kinross, about 13 miles south, lists its cats with us. Cats Protection also has a Perth branch; its cats are on its own website.
Why are there so few cats on this page?
Only one cat rescue we list is within reach of Perth, and Cats Protection, the other cat charity here, keeps its cats on its own website. The page fills automatically as cats are added.
Can I reserve a cat at Fife Cat Shelter?
No. It works on a first come, first served basis, so a cat goes to the first suitable adopter who completes the forms and pays. You collect the cat in person.
How much is a rescue cat in Perth?
A neutered cat from Fife Cat Shelter is a £120 donation, and the Perth branch of Cats Protection charges £100.
Do cats have to be microchipped in Scotland?
No, it is optional here; only England makes it compulsory. Many owners chip anyway, because it is how vets and rescues trace a lost cat back to you.
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 Scottish SPCA animals on LocalPetFinder?
No. We do not list the Scottish SPCA’s animals, at any of its rescue and rehoming centres. The Scottish SPCA, Scotland’s animal welfare charity, runs its own search: use Scottish SPCA Find a Pet to see the animals at its centres across Scotland. The RSPCA works in England and Wales, not Scotland.
