Adoption Criteria

Please Read before Applying to Adopt

These guidelines are in place to help us find the best and safest homes for our cats


CATS

If you live near a busy or main road, we’re really sorry, but we aren’t able to place cats with outdoor access in those areas. We always prefer indoor-only homes, or ones with a secure catio or cat-proof fencing. Outdoor access may be considered if your home is in a quiet, low-traffic area.


Before any adoption goes ahead, we carry out a thorough home and background check — this is just to make sure our cats are going to the safest, most suitable environment possible.


All resident pets will need to be neutered unless there’s a genuine medical reason not to — and we’ll ask for a vet’s note as confirmation during the home check.

If you already have cats who go outdoors, they must be fully vaccinated (unless medically exempt). For indoor-only cats, vaccination is still strongly recommended, and we’ll prioritise homes where pets are already up to date.


We kindly ask that you only apply if you meet these criteria. We’re a small team of volunteers doing our best to help as many animals as we can, and sticking to these guidelines really helps us make the most of our time and energy.


If you’re not sure whether you meet the requirements or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’re always happy to chat 📥.


Thanks so much for understanding and for supporting rescue animals.  🙏🏼🐈‍⬛

Deposits

A gentle reminder about deposits.



We now take a non-refundable deposit to secure booked adoption appointments. This is to protect ourselves and secure your chosen adoptee.


The deposit will be deducted from the overall adoption fee. 


A no-show is something that's extremely frustrating and time-consuming. Fosters/ transporters have often cancelled their own plans to accommodate adoption dates, fuel costs for collection, drop-off and then back again is costly- plus the added stress to each animal, it's something they definitely don't want or need. 


Hours of administration have also taken place, again wasting precious time given freely. We are 100% voluntary run, and we try our best to coordinate adoptions to suit all involved. 🙏🏻🐾
