Adoption​

​

This is a lifetime commitment - the average lifespan of a cat is continually increasing depending on the individual, they can be part of your life for 15 to 18 years or even longer.

​

Costs - you must consider the costs involved including a suitable diet, insurance and veterinary treatment. 

​

Essential equipment - it's important to make sure that you have all the items that a cat needs before they come home. Our cat carers can advise on everything you need.

​

All the cats we take into our care are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. It is our policy that no cat is put to sleep unless terminally ill or has a very poor quality of life.

 

Great care is taken to ensure that our

rescued cats and kittens find a permanent loving home. Physical house checks are carried out to see if the cat you want is best suited to you and your needs. When a cat is

re-homed we think of it as ‘adoption’.

 

If, for whatever circumstances, you are no longer able to care for the cat, the cat MUST be returned to us.

​

What is your adoption process?

You need to book an appointment to view the cats and kittens we have available. Once viewed you can then place a reserve, we will then come out to you to do a house check. Once the house check has been completed and is successful a member of staff will
contact you to arrange collection appointment.

 

How long does the adoption process take?

This can take up to two weeks.

 

Do you have a catchment area?

Yes, we have a catchment area of 20 miles from the sanctuary as it's volunteers who kindly do our house checks for us. If you are unsure if you fall within our catchment area, please give us a call on 0121 445 1840 option 3.
