Due to limited time we are not able to display cats currently looking for homes. If you are thinking about adoption please complete our Adoption Application below.

Information for potential owners

Thank you for considering adopting your pet from a Rescue Centre. Taking on a new animal can have its problems, so please listen to our advice, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Please note: Due to national vaccination shortages some cats or kittens may not have received vaccinations before being rehomed until further notice.

The following information below is very important when considering adoption. You will find a button to open the adpotion form at the bottom of the page.

  • logo The cat/s or kitten/s must be for YOU and NOT for any other person.
  • logo All potential owners must be 'homechecked' to ensure you and the cat you have chosen are suitable for each other.
  • logo We have a minimum donation policy for each of our cats. If you cannot afford a donation then you must question your ability to care for your cat properly. The donation we ask for is minimal compared to the cost of good quality food and routine veterinary care so if you cannot afford it we would rather you did not have a pet.
  • logo Without your donation we cannot continue to help the thousands of animals abused, unloved and unwanted every year. This centre is run almost entirely by volunteers and we rely on the generosity of our supporters. PLEASE GIVE WHAT YOU CAN!
  • logo You must be able to afford private vet bills and not use other charities such as The PDSA.
  • logo As the neutering of cats is such a large part of reducing the numbers of unwanted animals please note that we WILL NOT REHOME AN ANIMAL IF YOU HAVE A CAT OVER 6 MONTHS OLD THAT HAS NOT BEEN NEUTERED.
  • logo All cats/kittens will have had a minimum of their first vaccination and will have been routinely treated for fleas and worms.

The costs involved.

  • logo We ask for a minimum donation of £75 when you adopt a cat please. This rarely covers the costs involved in rescuing a cat so any further donation you can make is greatly appreciated. If you're adopting a pair of kittens we ask for a minimum donation of £150 as we only home kittens in pairs.
  • logo All our cats are microchipped before leaving the centre. This is to ensure their future safety and for our peace of mind.
  • logo Kittens under 4 months of age may not have been neutered. To ensure your kitten is neutered by 4 months of age we ask that you pay a 'neutering deposit' which is refunded to YOUR VET (or you in some rare circumstances) after neutering. As the price of neutering varies between vets and for males and females we ask for a deposit of £50 per kitten. Neutering can be carried out by any vet. You will need to check first that the practice you choose has vets competent at neutering 16 week old kittens as sadly some vets/practices in our area are behind the times in best practice and current BVA guidelines.
  • logo Please note that we accept cash and/or cheques only and cannot take credit card payments unless you wish to pay in advance online by prior arrangement only.
  • logo Please fill in the Adoption Application form by clicking the button below. Please take your time completing it as it's important your answers are honest and considered. Once we receive your form we go through to see if we have matches with any of the cats in our care. As we don't prioritise admitting cats based on how friendly they are, it can mean that we don't always have the right cat/s for every home so please don't be offended if we are not immediately able to invite you to visit.
    If we don't have cats that are suitable for you at this time you can find a comprehensive list of other cat rescues here www.catchat.org/adoption
