CATS NEEDING LOVING HOMES
We always have lots of very lovely cats needing good homes.
All our adult cats are microchipped, so if they ever get lost they can be re-united with you very quickly.
We vaccinate our cats against cat flu and feline enteritis when they come into the rescue if they are not already up to date. Some will need a second injection given later, so you may have to take your new cat to get this done after you have adopted it.
If you are interested in a particular cat, it is always best to telephone the rescue on 0118 9341122 before coming, to make sure the cat has not already been booked.
Please read our Homing Criteria BEFORE coming to see any of our cats.
We always do a home check before any cat is adopted. This can usually be arranged within a couple of days. Once the home check is done we ask that you pick your new pet up within 24 hours, to free up the cage for another cat needing our help.
Our suggested minimum donation for one of our cats or kittens is £60 (£100.00 if adopting a pair)
Donations made by adopters are a vital contribution to our funds. They are not compulsory, as a good home is the first consideration for our animals. Our adopters almost invariably wish to make a donation at the time of adoption however, and the above suggestion represent approx. half the average cost to our charity of preparing each cat for rehoming, although many do cost the charity a lot more due to health and other problems. We try our best to give all animals in our care whatever help they need. Therefore larger donations are always much appreciated
If you are not comfortable with making a donation, please consider the effect this will have on the charity’s ability to help other animals in need in the future. Please also consider your ability to meet the considerable ongoing expenses that responsible animal care represents. These matters should be discussed with us before the adoption proceeds.
Open daily 11.00am to 1.00pm, and 2.00pm to 4.00pm (last entry for public 10 mins before closing)
(PLEASE NOTE - telephone calls will not be answered at weekends and at busy times - the care of our animals will take priority)
