Adopt a Cat

All of our rescued cats are in the care of our fantastic Cat Foster Carers. Whilst in our care, our foster cats will receive any veterinary treatments and procedures required. Once our foster cats are ready for their forever homes, they become available for adoption.

When you find your perfect match, follow our guide below to get the adoption process started.

Liam

5 year old Liam is a lovely natured boy who enjoys a good fuss but also likes his independence and quiet time. We are looking for a very special home for Liam as he suffers from feline idiopathic cystitis, with stress playing a large part. Currently Liam is not producing tears, requiring eye drops 4 times a day, this may resolve in time. It's a possibility that Liam may require ongoing medication and management for his eye and bladder issues. Liam also has a heart murmur and this will need monitoring.

Liam's adopter will need to be prepared for ongoing costs regarding the management of his conditions. It is really important to us to find a home where Liam's needs can be met and that he has all the ongoing care he needs. Liam's ideal home is a quiet space with no visiting children as they stress him. A rural or semi-rural location would be perfect, with outdoor access via catflap so Liam can venture as he pleases.

Liam's requirements:

  • Peaceful, adult only household
  • The only pet in the home
  • A home away from any busy roads
  • Access to the outside via a catflap.

Millie

Say hello to 3 year old Millie. She has a sweet nature and is a curious cat, often coming to you for a fuss and to see what you are doing. She enjoys a play but will happily spend her day lounging and have a nice snooze.

Millie has recently had all of her teeth removed due to having dental disease, so she is a gummy girly. She is best suited to a wet food only diet. Millie especially loves a treat, her favourite being a 'lick-e-lix'.
We are looking for a home in a quiet location away from busy roads. Millie will need outdoor access via catflap. We would like to find a home where Millie will have company for most of the day to continue to build her confidence around humans.

Millie's requirements:

  • Adult only home
  • The only pet in the home
  • I love company, but am an independent girl
  • Outdoor access via catflap

Please note: Millie's foster home is in Newbury and a few flights up the stairs with no access to a lift.
