Cat adoption procedure

We are continuing our rehoming using the virtual process and all viewings are by appointment only.

Below are the steps to follow:

  • View the available cats for adoption on our website.
     

    • All of our cats are in foster homes as we no longer have facilities to house them at the centre so our adoption procedure for cats has changed.
       

  • If you see a cat that you feel is right for your family (having read all the information on their profile) then please complete the web form linked from their profile page.
     

    • If you are having trouble completing the application form please call the centre on 01254 231118 and one of the team will be happy to help (please note we have a small team and at busy times may not always be able to respond as quickly as we would like, thank you for your patience).
       

  • The team will review all the applications received and will contact the person that appears best match the needs of the cat to have an initial conversation and to check any queries we may have from the application form. 
     

    • Please put as much information as you can about your experiences with cat ownership even if you need to add an extra page as this will help us to chose the best match possible when we are looking through the applications.
       

  • On agreement that the match is right for the cat we will request videos and photos of your home and garden for the virtual home visit. We will also carry out a search on google maps to ensure there are no busy main roads in the vicinity.
     

    • We have moved away from visiting people's homes following the covid pandemic - If you are struggling to send videos or photos by email then please ring us on 01254 231118.
       

  • If the home visit is successful an appointment will be made for you and all of your family to visit the centre to meet the cat.
     

    • Sometimes we may identify an issue that needs resolving before we can move forward but you will be given the opportunity to address this (normally within a week), as this would need addressing be prior to meeting the chosen cat.
       

  • Please be prepared that if all goes well with the meet to save the cat being transported backwards and forwards (cats generally do not like car travel) the adoption paperwork will be ready for signing and payment taken so that you can take your new family member home with you straight away.
     

  • Payment will be taken on completion of all the adoption paperwork and can be by cash or card payments.
     

  • All cats must be transported home in a suitable, secure cat carrier
