Where can I adopt a cat in Yorkshire? Here are 12 cat rescue centres in the region where you can save a cat’s life

The cost of living crisis has increased the need for the welfare of cats and other animals, particularly in an animal friendly region like Yorkshire.

Pet and family lifestyle expert, author, artist, conservationist and animal welfare advocate, Colleen Paige has established multiple national awareness days to save animals and raise awareness of animal adoption: National Cat Day, National Dog Day, National Puppy Day, National Pet Day and National Wildlife Day.

The following cat rescue centres are mostly independently owned and take in a variety of cat breeds.
