Cats for homing

Details

Evie & Maria

3+ years
Female

EvieEvieMariaMariaEvie and Maria are somehow related, although their family tree may be a complicated one.

They were born and lived their first 3 years shut in a kitchen, as part of a group of 11 cats, with little human interaction. They were not used to being handled and were all obese from lack of excercise. Adjusting the group to normal behaviour has been easier said than done and it is only now, after over 18 months in our care, that we are able to consider homing Evie and Maria.

Maria is the most confident and she now comes up to strangers for a fuss quite happily. She is still wary of heavy footed people and children and is not comfortable being picked up.

Evie however still has a way to go and she will need someone with time to spend with her so she can learn to trust fully. She will not be picked up though she will have a proper stroke with the right encouragement.

By taking these cats on you will have a challenge but with it will come huge reward as your cats become part of your family.

Millie

15+ years
Female

Millie's owner emigrated and didn't think it would be fair to make Millie travel so far.

Cuddly Millie has lost a lot of weight since coming into our care and is very fit for her age considering she has lived as an indoor cat.

She is very affectionate with people and tolerant of cats but has never lived with dogs or children.

We usually look for indoor homes for older cats who have never been outside but not so for our Mille. Since settling in our communal area she refuses to go into the heated bedroom at all and spends all her days gazing into the trees behind their pen. Now she has seen what she is missing she would desperately love the option of an enclosed or safe back garden and we suspect she would even like to turn a paw to some pigeon catching!

UPDATE: Millie has been getting grumpier in recent weeks, making it clear to us that she is growing unhappy. We decided that at her age and with her background it was only fair to release her to live free on site, still with the hope of finding her own home of course. It is early days but we hope she enjoys her outdoor experience as it is certainly long awaited!

UPDATE 2: Millie has settled into her new outdoor life better than we ever could have imagined. She has the best of both worlds and the only thing that could improve her life now is a home of her own!

Scully

10+ years
Female

When Scully arrived she was an absolute monster and was virtually impossible to stroke let alone pick up.

She had moved in with us when her family emigrated and did not appreciate the move or any other cats being around her.

She lost her eye a few weeks after arriving with us due to a nasty long term eye condition but, touch wood, she has been in fantastic health ever since.

As she hates other cats so passionately and being unlikely to find a home while displaying so much aggression we took the chance by letting her roam free.

Scully now lives in our reception and trots in and out as she pleases and even seeks out affection when she wants it! She is partial to stealing volunteers lunches, especially cake, and guards out printer when in a bad mood.

We are aware Scully is a challenge for an experienced owner and we hope someone sees through her naughty exterior to the loving cat underneath!

Kittens!

Various
Male & Female

We have several kittens looking for homes at the moment but please read the following information first: 

Please note that as cats are social animals we do not home single kittens. The vast majority of domestic cats we have with behavioural problems are from 'only cat' homes. This is sometimes wavered for homes with existing cats but only in some special circumstances so please ask.

We also do not home kittens with children under five. Kittens are unable to retract their claws which can make them a danger - you wouldn't give your child a toy with pins sticking out of it!

Ultimately we have to think of the best interests of our kittens and their future so please do not be offended if we offer you advice that you are not happy with: WE WILL ONLY ACT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR CATS AND KITTENS.

Choosy

8-9 yrs
Female

Choosy is an amazing moggy who has coped so well with her life here despite hating cats! She is top cat in her pen and bullies all the youngsters when they try to have fun though luckily for them she sleeps quite a lot!

She was brought in after her owner passed away and she always been a very well loved and cared for cat. She has been used to being around children and is very gentle with humans.

Though we have seen her aggression towards cats we have never seen even the slightest grumble towards a human and she purrs as soon as you start talkig to her!

Choosy will be a fantastic companion...

Tigger

11+ yrs
Female

Sweetheart Tigger is looking for a home with her equally soppy but slightly more nervous friend TC.

They came to us after the sudden death of their owner and have had a very traumatic time. Thanfully they had obviously been loved and well socialised cats all their life and they have coped well with their huge change of life.

Little information was given about their previous life but it is clear they are both very gentle natured and loving moggies.

They are not keen on dogs or noisy children but are both tolerant of other cats.

TC

11+ yrs
Male

TC and his friend Tigger would like to be homed together as they love each other very much.

TC, though very friendly, takes a little while to gain his confidence but once he has is as totally soppy as Tigger!

They really are such a lovely couple and we desperately hope their age doesn't hold them up from finding a special home.

Duncan

4+ years
Male

Duncan originally came in as a stray although it was thought that his owners had moved away and left him behind.

He was rehomed last year to a home that already had a female cat. Though everything was fine to start with unfortunately they started to fight and with heavy hearts it was decided that Duncan needed to be returned.

He settled back with us quickly. Duncan is a gentle affectionate cat who loves a fuss. He is semi-longhaired and does need help with keeping his coat smart and tidy, but fortunately he loves being groomed.

Though when you meet Duncan it is hard to believe he has an aggressive bone in his body he has been seen to start arguments with other male cats so would have to be an only cat.

Tommy

15+ years
Male

Tommy came here after his owner had unfortunately passed away. He arrived with his brother who unfortunately passed away and he has found it very hard to settle.

Despite his advanced years he is very aggressive with our other cats and sadly has had to now be segregated for the safety of our other cats! However, with humans he is an absolute pussy cat and loves any amount of attention.

He and his brother must have been such well loved cats as they both have such loving and gentle natures.

Tommy would now like a home of his own where he can receive more of the love and pampering he has been accustomed to.

Smiffy

15+ years
Female

Smiffy was one of two cats left outside our gates. She has a positive friendly personality and is always one of the first cats to introduce herself when visitors enter her area.

She does enjoy a certain amount of fussing, and when she has had enough she will let you know with a verbal telling off. She has been used to living with another cat and she is coping well with living in a group of cats after she made it clear that she is the one in charge!

We understand that she has not previously lived with children or dogs.
