Sometimes cat owners can be faced with circumstances which prevent them from keeping their cats any longer or in continuing to provide good care and affection. Factors such as working or travelling long hours, homelessness, illness, relationship break-ups, poverty, changes in circumstances, etc, are typical reasons for this.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the adoption process?

Application, home check, meet‑and‑greet and an adoption fee that supports the rescue's work.

Are pets vaccinated, microchipped and neutered?

Most rescues provide these where appropriate. Ask for the full medical history.

Can I adopt if I rent?

Yes, with landlord permission; provide written proof as part of your application.

Post‑adoption support?

Many rescues offer training guidance and behavioural support to help with settling in.

Can I foster first?

Some organisations offer foster‑to‑adopt to ensure a good match before finalising.

Fees and what they cover?

Fees vary and often include vaccinations, neutering, microchip and a health check.

Choosing the right match?

Consider energy level, training needs, compatibility with children/pets, and your lifestyle.

What if the match isn't right?

Rescues prefer returns over unsuitable placements. Speak to them early for support.
