Adopt a Cat

Pepper is a stunning 2 year old black cat who was surrendered to us by her owner along with her two kittens Minnie and Bob. When she got to us Pepper was silent and was completely focussed on caring for her two young kittens. She can be a bit nervous but now plays and has become very affectionate. Pepper is good with children of all ages and will surely make someone's best friend. While she is always happy for a fuss Pepper is not yet a lap cat.

Pepper has been fostered with other cats and kittens but enjoys her own space. She would therefore prefer a home where she is the only cat. Pepper doesn't like dogs at all, she will tolerate them from a distance but gets aggressive if they approach her.

Skye came into our care from a busy household where she struggled to find her place and showed her unhappiness by toileting inappropriately. It's not really a situation we normally get involved with but she wasn't neutered and so we stepped in. She is now 9 mths old and neutered of course. Skye is a tabby/tortoiseshell aka a torbie. Anyone who has been owned by a torbie in the past knows they have strong personalities and independent spirits (cough!) and Skye is no exception. With us she has toileted purrfectly and now plays with the other cats but ideally needs an adult family with no cats to coax out her fabulousness.

Richie came into us as a very feisty un-neutered stray who had to be trapped. He was taken to the vets to be chip checked but was too wild so he was eventually neutered and chipped. A few weeks later, once he knew he was safe and his hormones had calmed down, he turned into a friendly and affectionate boy. He is really a lovely cat now, gets on well with most other cats but, like most cats, would love a 1-2-1 relationship!

We don't know for sure how old he is but we think 2-4 yrs is a reasonable guesstimate.

Hollie is a very sweet little female cat, born April 2021. She escaped from her home when, ironically, a cat flap was being fitted. A few months later she turned up as a very shy. skinny cat in the next street. She was trapped and came into our care where it was discovered she was chipped. Her owner who had been ill was keen to have Hollie back but realised that being an indoor only cat was not the best option for Hollie, especially now she had had a taste of the great outdoors. So with much sadness she has allowed us to find Hollie a new home.

Hollie will need a little extra time to be indoors (normally we recommend 3-4 weeks but she would benefit from longer) as she needs to feel very secure. We have had a few scary moments when she first went outside since being in foster care but she now goes in and out quite happily.

Hollie is a very affectionate cat but is worried by other cats and tends to keep a low profile, difficult in a rescue situation. She would love a quiet, calm household with direct access to a private garden and on a safe road.

Simba and Chase came from the same household as an owner surrender. Simba is a tabby & white male about 15 mths now and Chase, the grey, is nearly 3 yrs. Both boys have been neutered, chipped and are fully vaccinated.

Simba is very friendly and confident and will quickly come to you although he can be a little nervous at first. Chase is also very friendly but much more reticent - you will often only see him at mealtimes and he tends to hide away in between times. So with this pair, you will have a fairly instantly friendly one and a shyer one who will need a little bit of work to help him come out of his shell. A quiet adult home would be preferred especially if someone was at home during the day to work a little with Chase.

UPDATE Jan 2023 - a bit of role reversal - Chase has really come out of his shell and Simba is a little more nervous. Both boys are enjoying being outside but then like to come in to find a hot radiator to snuggle up to. Chase will readily come to people now and Simba has become a little more nervy. So a quiet adult home is still preferred but actually it is Simba who might need a bit more 1-2-1.

Both boys are very gentle and Simba has the most velvet of fur. A safe and secure garden away from busy roads is essential.

This is Missy. She was surrendered to us with her 2 kittens at the end of December, however she had rejected them.

Missy has suffered unknown trauma and stress and is slowly recovering. She is learning to trust humans and needs a quiet home with patient adopters who will give her space to settle in her own time.

We believe she is around 3 and is such a pretty cat. Recently she has been making excellent progress and is now ready to move on with someone who is patient, encouraging and prepared to love her no matter what mood she is in.

Malcolm is a sweet natured boy that we took in as his family moved and left him behind.

When he arrived he was extremely matted all over. He was very brave and allowed us to slowly cut away the mats and his fur is now growing back. We are introducing him to the delights of being groomed and will need a family that are willing to continue with this on a regular basis.

Malcolm is a boy that would prefer a quieter home, without other cats, he is playful and loves a treat or 2. He is ready for his forever home.
