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)

COCO & RYDER
BREED CATS, SHORT & MED HAIR
COLOUR Tabby and Black & White
AGE 3 Years
SEX Male & Female (Neutered)
DETAILS
We don't understand why this lovely pair of cats have not been booked. They are a lovely, friendly pair and will make wonderful and loving companions
Coco and Ryder are brother and sister, and would like to be homed together
Coco is very timid and will take a while for her to befriend anyone.
Once she does, she will happily cuddle up to anyone. She doesn't like being picked up by strangers, and hates being by herself and relies on her brother to look after her
Ryder is extremely friendly and the more adventurous of the two.
He is more than happy to be picked up and loves a good rub - particularly his head

They are brothers, and are looking for a home together please
Sam is a very cuddly cat, and is blind in one eye - but this doesn't affect him at all!
Tilly is also a friendly cat, but is friendly on his own terms!
A lovely pair of cats, and we hope we can find them a home very soon
FELIX
BREED CAT, DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
COLOUR Black & White
AGE Aprox. 6 Months
SEX Male (Neutered)
DETAILS
Felix is a very cute kitten and a survivor. He was brought to a Vets surgery in November, having been found by one of the children in the playground of the school next door. He was nearly at death's door, painfully thin and collapsed in the cold, but the staff at the Vets nursed him through and Felix survived.
At first Felix was to be the surgery cat, a mascot. He stayed around the back and never wandered far but Felix is now older and bolder, thinks everyone is his friend, both human and canine, in fact the Vet says he thinks he is a dog !
He began to wander out to the front of the surgery and greet clients coming in and it was too risky for him as he would boldy approach dogs, and the surgery is on a busy road, and is seemed like he would soon use up his nine lives, so it became clear that he needed a normal home environment!
Felix has no fear of anything now. He just wants to make friends with everybody. He loves playing with toys, being picked and cuddled and climbing around your shoulders, purring all the time because he is such a happy kitten!

He is affectionate, loves playing with his mouse on a string and balls
He enjoys being groomed, and has never shown any aggression to anybody - including the previous owner's grandchildren

He loves being able to go outdoors, but tends to stay close to home
As with all persians, he requres regular brushing and the occasional eye cleaning
He is not used to other animals, and is a bit scared of young children
He is quite a character when he is in the mood to play
He loves being in his owner's company, and tends to follow you around the house, but is not really a lap cat

MISTY
BOOKED SUBJECT TO HOME CHECK
BREED CAT, DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
COLOUR Tabby & White
AGE Aprox. 4 Months
SEX Female
DETAILS
Misty is a sweet little kitten who was found as a stray. Her finder has kept her for over two weeks and tried to trace an owner, but to no avail.
She was not able to offer Misty a permanent home, so she has come to DBARC to find someone to love her and to offer her a lap and lots of toys on an ongoing basis!
Misty has a friendly and outgoing personality and loves everyone, but she is too young to be homed with very young children.
