Rescue kittens around Peterborough on 6 November

Peterborough Cat Rescue had a bonded pair of 10 week old kittens, a girl of about 8 weeks and another of 4 months in its foster homes, every one already with a viewing or applications under review. Near Wisbech, Ravenswood Pet Rescue had three kittens of 8 to 9 weeks.

Lincs Ark said it had more kittens and cats in foster that weren't ready for its website yet, so ask it directly.

Neutering and jabs may be yours to finish

Peterborough Cat Rescue's youngest kittens went through its Proof of Neutering scheme: you pay your own vet for the neutering, chip or jabs still to do and send back a stamped form. Ravenswood's kittens leave chipped with a first jab and need neutering later, and Lincs Ark gives a voucher for a kitten too young to be done.

Kitten fees near Peterborough

Peterborough Cat Rescue asks a minimum donation of £100 a cat, paid in cash. Lincs Ark asks at least £110 a kitten, and Ravenswood charged £70 a kitten that day.

Looking for "kittens for sale" around Peterborough or Spalding? Ravenswood's £70 and Peterborough Cat Rescue's £100 are donations towards chips, jabs and neutering, not a sale price. If a private seller asks for money up front, before you have seen the kitten with its mother, let Report Fraud know.

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.

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.

Can rescues rehome kittens under six months?

Yes. Lucy's Law stops third-party sales, not rescues. 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.

Do kittens need to be microchipped?

Yes, in England. Since 10 June 2024 cats must be microchipped before they are 20 weeks old and registered on a database. Check the kitten's profile or ask the rescue whether it has been chipped.

Are rescue kittens vaccinated and neutered when I adopt them?

At the large charities, the fee pays for that vet work. Cats Protection says its cats are vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated and neutered (or come with a neutering voucher if they are young kittens), with a vet health check and four weeks' free insurance. Smaller rescues set their own terms, so ask what a particular kitten has had and whether a vaccination or neutering is still due.

Can I adopt two kittens together in Peterborough?

Yes: as of 7 November 2026, 1 of the 9 kittens listed in and around Peterborough is marked by its rescue as part of a pair or group to be adopted together. Blue Cross fees for a pair of kittens start from £275. Cats their rescue lists as a bonded pair are on our bonded cats page.

Are the kittens in Peterborough good with children and other pets?

It depends on the cat, not its size or age. As of 7 November 2026, the rescues mark 1 of the 9 kittens listed in and around Peterborough as able to live with children, 5 with other cats and 3 with dogs. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue, and supervise early meetings with children whatever the cat.

Are there kittens for sale in Peterborough?

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every kitten on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 9 kittens listed in and around Peterborough today are with Three Counties Dog Rescue at Bourne, about 15 miles away (4), Ravenswood Pet Rescue at Wisbech, about 18 miles away (3), Peterborough Cat Rescue in Peterborough (1) and 1 other rescue, and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile.

Where can I buy a kitten in Peterborough, and should I?

Not here: we only list cats with rescues, so every kitten listed here is adopted for the rescue's fee, which usually covers vet work already done. Whether to buy is your choice. Adopting means the rescue can tell you what it knows about the kitten's history and health before you apply. If you decide to buy a pedigree kitten, Cats Protection suggests a breeder registered with a breed association such as the GCCF, and seeing the kitten with its mother at home rather than buying from a video or social media advert.

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

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 9 kittens listed in and around Peterborough today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Peterborough Cat Rescue in Peterborough. At the large cat charities, fees for one cat are under £200: Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten, and Blue Cross fees start from £150 for cats aged 4 months to 7 years. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. In England, cats must be microchipped before they are 20 weeks old, so ask to see the microchip details.
