OUR ADOPTION PROCESS |
 |
Tell us
which cat you are interested in or what type of cat you are looking for, we
will then arrange for you to visit any suitable cat(s) and help you make a
decision.
|
|
Next, we
carry out a home visit to ensure that your environment suits the needs of the
cat; not every cat will suit your specific situation. At this time we will
complete any relevant paperwork and answer any further questions.
|
|
Getting
a cat ready for adoption is expensive. All of our cats have been treated to our
minimum veterinary standards, meaning that they have been examined by a
veterinary surgeon, been vaccinated against flu and enteritis, treated against
fleas, roundworm and tapeworm and all cats have been blood tested for FIV and
FeLV. If the cat has not been neutered before or during its time in our care,
provision will be made to ensure owners are able to do this after adoption; our
recommended start age for neutering within Cats Protection is four months. We
also provide Petplan cover for four weeks free of charge.
|
|
A standard minimum adoption fee of
£50 per cat (or kitten) is charged -
from 1 January 2012. Please note any donation in excess of this amount will be
very welcome and further help us to continue in our endeavours to care for and
home as many cats as we can. |

| CATS LOOKING FOR NEW HOMES |
A picture of Bob relaxing in the
garden - whilst a stray, a well fed one! |
Bob:
Male, black and white, neutered. Age, at least 3 years plus. He has a beautiful
soft coat - medium length.
Story: Poor Bob doesn't appreciate not being being
allowed out and about. He desperately needs a loving home where he can chill
out in the garden.
Although he came to us after being a stray
and 'free as a bird', we know he has enjoyed the comforts of home, especially
warming himself by the fire during the winter
months.
We also know he is a gentle and friendly soul, but not with
other cats. Despite being with us for a few months now, Bob couldn't be coaxed
out of his basket for any photos.

Bosun:
Male, tabby - 4 years old. He has wonderful tabby
markings on his back.
Story: This handsome young tabby
came to us as a stray. He is very affectionate, and loves putting on a display
of roly-polys for anyone with the time. Overall a very friendly
cat.
Although he does not like other cats, he does like dogs and
people... very much indeed!

Charlie: Male, black with a small white patch on his chest - 4-5 years
old.
Story: Charlie came to us as a stray. He is very
friendly and now needs a permanent home.
Apart from his
love of eating, his favourite things are to have his neck scratched or nose
rubbed! We don't why, but he has only half a tail. He doesn't like dogs, but he
is fine with children.

Milly and Molly:
Tortoiseshell, sisters - only 9 months old. To be
homed together.
Story: Two beautiful and
delightful young cats. Molly is the more sociable of the two, although with the
right home to settle in, we feel sure they will enjoy being part of a family.
They are both very active, and we are pleased to say they have both matured
into very pretty young felines.

Cleo:
Female, black with white medalion shape on chest- 7 years
old. Her coat is silky smooth and shiny. Short
haired.
Story: Cleo is very friendly and likes to talk,
especially for attention. She greets everyone with a quivering tail, and loves
a good tickle and stroke.
If there was an Olympic Games for cats, she
would make an excellent contender, as she is very energetic and a good jumper.

Thomas:
Black and white, short haired, male - two years
old.
Story: Poor Thomas was abandoned in a box! He is a bit of a character,
and although friendly enough, he seems to be afraid of shoes. We think he may
have been kicked in the past, so hopefully with the right handling, he will
grow to trust his new owner(s).
He loves toys, especially things
that dangle on string and make tinkling noises. He is happy to be picked up
when he is relaxed, purrs very loudly, but no voice yet. Probably best suited
to household where there are no young children. We don't know how he is with
other cats and dogs.

Pudding: Tortoiseshell, short haired, female - 6 years

cute and cheeky looking 'Pudding' is now looking for a loving
home.

Two female kittens:
Black and white, short haired, female - only 4 months
old.
Story: We are looking for a home where these two cuties can be homed
together. They are a bit shy at the moment but given time and patience, plus
lots of love, these little girls will make lovely pets. We think they would be
best suited in a family home where there are older children.

Casper and Tigger:
Casper/black and white and Tigger/tabby; both short
haired. A couple of likely lads, brothers - only 5 months old. To be homed
together.
Story: They are in excellent health, and ready to
bring joy into anyone's life. This energetic and outgoing pair love toys,
especially chasing fabric snakes. They enjoy purring and running about - would
you like to meet them? If so, please give our Homing Officer a call on 0845
371 1853 or email jesmifred@hotmail.co.uk.

Tommy: Black and white, medium haired, male - approximately 15 years
young.
Story: Unfortunately Tommy was unable to go with his owner when he
moved.
As you can see from the picture, he enjoys being brushed. He
also loves lots of attention and to greet everyone with a quivering tail of
delight. He purrs very loudly, but we don't know if he meows much. Like some
people at this time of the year, his New Year's resolution is to lose a bit of
weight. Yes, he loves his food!
Although he
particularly enjoys being outside he is not suitable to live near a main road.
Tommy would appreciate having the freedom of a cat flap to come and go. He is
terrified of dogs but is fine with cats. If you think you could meet Tommy's
needs, please contact our Homing Officer - details top of
page. Tommy would love to meet you.

Freddie:
Male, 7 years old. Black cat with a silky and shiny
coat.
Story: Freddie was left to fend for himself when his owner moved
house. Despite this, he is affectionate, happy and
active.
He's careful with his claws, and knows how to use a litter
tray. Loves heavy stroking on the top of his head the most. A quiet purr, and
no voice yet. Doesn't seem interested in toys or play. Just wants attention and
tickles.
This very handsome cat was more than happy
to pose for our photographer. Freddie can be best summed up as Mr Friendly -
ready to bring happiness into anyone's life.

Silver
Female, black and white - approximately 4 years old.
Lovely green eyes and a quiet mew.
Story: A very dainty and pretty cat who
particularly adores female human company, but not so much male (she is just a
little reserved). She clearly has a very gentle nature, and isn't nasty in any
way.
Coat is in tip-top condition, and she is eating well. Not a toy
player, but loves attention and being spoken to by any female company. Will
make a fantastic confidante.

Willow & Hazel:
Female, probably sisters, about 12 years old. Willow is
ginger and Hazel a light tortoiseshell. To be homed
together.
Story: A very shy and reserved couple at the
moment, but both were happy to be tickled. Despite being a bit camera shy,
definite purring could be heard.

Coco:
Male, about 2 years old. Wonderful clear eyes, and his
white is very clean. All in all, a very tidy young
man.
Story: Coco is settling in well, still a bit nervous but quite
approachable. He loves his warm bed (don't we all), and as far as we know, not
much of a toy player. We are waiting to hear him purr.

Tiger (Feral):
Female, dark tabby, short haired. She is a feral cat,
thus will not be happy or fit in with a family
environment.
Story: As you can see in the picture, Tiger is very reluctant to have
her picture taken. She is eating well, and has been known to allow stroking and
tickling.
If you could you offer a rural home such as
a farm, stable or smallholding to this neutered, feral cat - please give
Barbara a call on 01242 232158.
