Cats Protection homes unwanted and abandoned cats, and promotes responsible cat ownership. The North London Adoption Centre is quite small with just 19 pens but in 2003 and 2004 we homed over 750 cats per year. The average stay for a cat in the centre is 10-14 days.  Read our success stories to find out about some of the cats that we have homed and visit our adoptee gallery to see photos of recent adopters with their new feline friends.


We are open 7 days a week.  If you are interested in adopting a cat just drop in during our cat viewing hours (listed below) and our friendly staff will be pleased to help you. No appointment is necessary.

Cat viewing hours

Tuesday-Thursday 11am-3pm
Friday-Monday 12-4pm

We do not charge for viewing the cats but only people seriously intending to adopt will be permitted to see them. Please allow at least 30 minutes for your visit.

Come and view our cats at 135 Junction Road, Archway, London N19 5PX. Go to contact us page for directions.

Please note that we do not have a vet on site and we are not a cattery.  Please telephone us for information on these services. Please also note that because the Shelter is so small we cannot accept second hand clothes, goods etc
