Cats & kittens

Spyder (M) HC5112

Spyder turned up in his fosterers' garden, very scared and extremely hungry. The vet confirmed he wasn't microchipped and despite posting on local forums nobody claimed him. 

He's friendly and affectionate on his own terms - he is not quite a lap cat. He's adventurous and likes to spend time outdoors regardless of the weather - a real British boy! He is a prolific hunter and a wanderer, so he needs somewhere very safe from traffic. His foster home is in a very quiet cul-de-sac, and he seems to really be taking to that! Sweet Spyder is quite a small cat for a boy, bless him. 

Spyder is friendly with other cats outside, but not so keen on them coming into "his" house! Although there is one female cat who lives a few doors away, who he allows to come inside, clearly his special friend.

Spyder has been through so much and deserves a safe, loving forever home with a family that will understand his needs and quirks and will love him unconditionally.

Lena (F) HC5186

Lena is a lovely, playful calico lady. She has been with her foster family for a few months now, together with her sister Poppy. Although they were quite shy at the beginning, giving them plenty of time to adjust has helped them feel completely at home and show their true personalities. 

Lena is sweet, intelligent, curious, and loves to explore her surroundings. Once settled in her new home, she will happily follow you around to check out what you're doing. She enjoys chasing a ball (or her sister) up and down the stairs, looking out of windows, and relaxing in her favourite quiet spots. Food and play time help a lot with getting her attention and gaining her trust. She's an absolute pro at getting Dreamies out of the treat dispenser toy! 

While in the first few weeks she was a little unsure around humans, she gained a lot more confidence with time: when she's relaxed, she really enjoys cuddles and brushing, and has become a lot less shy with house guests. She quite likes her me-time, lounging in her igloo bed or observation point at the top of the stairs. She is at her most relaxed in the morning, and tends to get active in the evening, playing with Poppy and getting very chatty when dinner time is approaching.   

Lena and Poppy are fairly independent, and can easily handle being home on their own if people are not around for part of the day. They are not lap cats, but they do enjoy sharing space with people, and are wonderful to be around. They will be at their best with adopters who are happy to give them all the time they need to relax and feel at home. They will appreciate a few quiet spots to retreat to when they need rest or safety (they will love igloo cat beds or a cat tree). Over the summer, we also found that they really enjoy being outdoors: if a secure garden is available, they will spend hours exploring every corner.

Both of them sit with us every evening now, Poppy rushes over as soon as Lena is settled!

Poppy (F) HC5209

Poppy is a stunning tabby with the sweetest round face and yellow eyes. She has been with her foster family for a few months now, together with her sister Lena. Although they were quite shy at the beginning, giving them plenty of time to adjust has helped them feel completely at home and show their true personalities.   

Poppy is curious, playful and easy-going, though she is the more timid of the two sisters. At the beginning, she may prefer to follow Lena's lead when playing and getting to know her surroundings; however, she definitely has a mind of her own, and will very much enjoy solo explorations once she gains confidence. Over time, she has become comfortable to the point that she follows people around all the time, and is always on the lookout for a new adventure (and treats). She also loves playing with Lena or by herself, looking out of windows, and napping in her favourite safe spots.   

She is an inquisitive and friendly cat who loves being in the same room as her favourite humans, but she is not a fan of cuddles or being touched. Initially, she will likely keep at a safe distance, but food treats and play time help with getting her attention and gaining her trust. As she gains confidence, she is also becoming chattier and showing her silly side: it's very funny to watch her run after toys and try to catch flies, and she's incredibly sweet when she eats Dreamies out of our hands!  

Poppy and Lena are fairly independent, and can easily handle being home on their own if people are not around for part of the day. They are not lap cats, but they do enjoy sharing space with people, and are wonderful to be around.

Petal (F) HC5450

Pretty Petal is such a special little girl. She is has beautiful calico markings of black and ginger on a shiny, soft white coat - she is simply stunning.

We don't know why Petal is so shy, but whatever the reason we are here for her to move at her own pace and do what she feels comfortable with. 

She loves playing. She is one of those cats with some absolute favourite toys: a red soft ball and a little bunny Easter decoration she's managed to find somewhere. These toys go everywhere with her. If you see Petal napping in a bed or a basket somwhere in the house, it is almost certain either Red Ball or Bunny is in there with her. She carries them around, chirping loudly, or bats them around with her paws all over the house. 

Sweet Petal has grown into a beautiful young cat. She is still adventurous and inquisitive like a kitten, but has also calmed down a lot and loves a snooze together in bed, or a little nap in one of her favourite spots in the sunshine in the garden. She adores resident cat Darcy, and at dusk and evening time they have the zoomies together, chasing each other around the garden.  

She loves playing chase with pompoms and ping pong balls, but prefers when the toy is animated by a human - wand toys and strings to chase are also very popular! Petal is definitely an only cat kind of girl, but she does need company from her humans. We think she needs some space and time to allow her to flourish and grow into the confident little lady we just know is in there somewhere. 

We think it would be nice for her to be homed somewhere that is calm, with people who understand young cats who just need a little more time and bit of understanding. We really believe she will warm up to people - kissing sounds, gentle coaxing and holding your hand out while sitting or croaching down will usually get her to come and have a little fuss with you. She doesn't like it when you walk up to her, it's tooooo scary! She needs to come to you. That's ok little Petal, take your time.  

There are more photos and videos of Petal having cuddles and playing on her foster home's Facebook page.

Puzzle (F) HC5569

Lovely Puzzle gave birth 3 days after she came into our care and successfully raised her brood of 6 kittens and is now looking for her own forever home.  She is a lovely all round family cat and so clever!  Her fosterers have taught her to sit and to give paw!  She loves attention and would therefore probably prefer to be an only cat where she can get all the love and attention that she deserves.    She is still a young cat, very playful and leaping high to chase the flying feather toy or sleeping in the rabbit box full of hay.   She is intrigued by the house rabbit but not at all aggressive towards him

• OK with older children

• Puzzle has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated

Holly (F) HC5605

Holly came into our care as a stray with 3 kittens who have now been adopted.  

Holly is nicknamed 'Toothless' in our house due to her similar resemblance to the Dragon (Don't worry, she doesn't act like one!). She is such a sweet and playful girl and has really come into her character since we began fostering her.

She loves exploring but always comes back to the house for a snooze, It's incredible how calm and relaxed she is living in a home with 7 humans! We have totally fallen in love with Holly, she really deserves a special home with people that will give her all the cuddles and kisses she deserves. 

Black cats tend to be overlooked in preference to one of the "prettier" colours but often have the sweetest temperaments.  Holly certainly does.

• Holly has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated

Thelma (F) HC5614

Thelma plus two other adult cats were strays who turned up in somebody's garden.  

Thelma is all black with a few white flecks on her face. What a transformation from when she came to me, she is a confident, independent lady who will happily greet you for strokes.

She enjoys leisurely naps mixed with playing with toys and will appear as soon as she hears the rustle of the dreamies pouch.  The photos don’t do her justices she’s a real cutie.

Thelma would enjoy being the only cat so she can be lavished with attention but gets on well with kids 7+.

Louise (F) HC5615

Louise came to us after having lived as a stray in somebody's garden along with another female cat (Thelma HC5614) and a male (Ed HC5622).  

Louise is a cat of contradictions, she’s had some past trauma so when new people come to visit, she will hide away in her safe spots but once she has decided you are ok she is the friendliest and snuggliest of the trio.

It didn’t take long for this to happen, She enjoys a cuddle, will snuggle in if you are sitting on the sofa in the evening. She's a real beauty with soft soft fur, a pink nose and pink toe beans. When I'm working from home she'll come up to my desk and give a soft meow to let me know it's time for a chin rubs. 

• Garden required
• Louise has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated

CeeCee (F) HC5619

CeeCee is a sleek shiny black cat with a brilliant white patch on her belly. She is very well socialised and brave - within 10 minutes of arriving at our home, she was busy walking around sniffing and exploring her surroundings.

She is full of energy and loves to play - jumping to catch and running after her toys. She loves human company and follows us from room to room. She is very friendly and comes up to greet us with sweet head bumps and rubs on our hands and legs. She will be very happy in a home where there is someone in most of the day to keep her company and play with her.

Ed (M) HC5622

Ed came to us as a stray with Thelma HC5614 and Louise HC5615 

Ed, or as I now call him, Mr Ed, is a handsome gentleman with a soft nature with a very impressive fluffy tail and bib.  He really wants to trust people. He can be spooked by sudden movements but is getting more trusting.

He loves stretching out along the top of the sofa or on the windowsill watching the world go by. He has started to play, enjoys chin rubs and strokes. I thought he didn’t purr but it’s there just very quiet   He enjoys his food and LOVES a Dreamie or some fresh chicken!

Miley (F) HC5624

Meet Miley.  She is a pretty tabby and white young lady, who was living as a stray before she came into our care.  

She’s very playful and cuddly  and does like people, but is a little wary and occasionally swipes hands away (no claws!) but only if something scares her.    She isn't happy living with other cats and needs to be the only cat in the family.

She’s a sweet little thing, playful and chatty, and with the right people to give her a home she will really come out of her shell.  Possibly an adult only home might be best for her.

Ruby (F) HC5627

As a foster parent for these two amazing sisters, Ruby and Raya, I consider myself to be one of the luckiest 'mummies'. The joy they bring every minute into my life is very precious. 

I have a very wild garden, which they both love exploring.  One afternoon in June, my heart almost stopped when i saw Ruby coming into the house, limping badly.  

I will never know what happened to her, and how she hurt herself so badly. The vet told us that her foot was shattered in so many places and as wonderful, caring and professional as this vet-lady is, she couldn't save Ruby's leg and it had to be amputated. 

A horrible and very traumatic experience for the brave Ruby, who needs to adapt to a new life, with only 3 legs.  The darling girl, is coping very well and she is so playful and active and engaging in chasing her sister, and vice versa, you wouldn't think she has been through such trauma. 

Having watched over them for the past months, I believe that now, more than ever, both sisters should be adopted together, as Ruby needs Raya, to help her mentally and physically heal.  

What is imperative, is that the future adopting parent, should not have other cats or dogs as every time a dog barks, Ruby goes and hides and she is very nervous and uneasy. A safe garden would be very appreciated and desired by both of them, as they are young, free spirits who love exploring.

Raya (F) HC5628

Raya and Ruby are two delightful sisters who came into our care as the current owners didn't want them and had no intention of having them spayed.   

Despite not getting much attention they are the sweetest kittens anyone could wish for. It took them a month to settle in their foster home so it's likely they will be shy when they first move.

An ideal home for them would be a mature adult only home and once settled they will be a joy.

They love each other so must be homed together.  See notes on Ruby following an accident and losing a leg. We have no idea what happened but nothing fazes her and she is running around quite happily.  She has become even closer to her sister as she probably still feels a little vulnerable.  The second photo is of Ruby

Milo (M) HC5643

Milo is a kind, calm, and talkative tuxedo cat who loves vocalizing and letting his human know when he's happy or in need of a cuddle!

Having spent most of his life on the streets, Milo has undoubtedly seen some difficult things. He was rescued after asking for help for a wound on his face and is now recovering well. Despite his past, he has so much love to give and absolutely adores a good head and chin scratch.

Milo has tested positive for FIV and we'd like to find him a home with a secure cat-proof garden that he can enjoy while still coming inside for food, naps and for some attention!        Give him a couple of cat toys, and you'll soon see the playful side of him emerge!   Our fosterer reports that now treated for his wounds and receiving regular care and a warm bed she has seen his playful side and he is becoming loving and if his new owner is patient and allows him to adjust he will settle.    

Milo gets along well with other cats, so he'd be a good companion to a household who may have other FIV+ cats.   He is wonderful with his fosterer's two resident female cats (who are not FIV+) with whom there has never been any aggression.  

As a stray, Milo hasn't had much exposure to large groups of people or young children. His ideal home would be with older children or in a quiet, adult-only household where he can feel comfortable and safe.

Milo is a loving and resilient cat who deserves a home full of care and attention.   Could he be the one for you?

Millie (F) HC5651

Anyone who has had the pleasure of knowing a black cat will know how special they are, and Millie doesn't disappoint. 

Born on 16th March, Millie (yellow collar) is a little ray of sunshine. Such a sweet girl with who really wants to be friends. She loves playing with her siblings and always wants to be involved in every game. Millie is very affectionate and loves some 1:1 attention. 

Millie is especially close with her brother Boots so we would like them to be homed together.

They are looking for their forever family in a calm household where there is time to play with and pet them. They have so much love and fun to give to their humans.

Sushi (M) HC5660

Sushi is a very handsome Russian Blue who needs to be rehomed. The owners baby has developed an allergy to him which has been confirmed by the GP.  A family friend agreed to take him but her landlord found out she has a cat so he has been returned to the owner.

It's now quite urgent that we find him a new home.

We think he would be best suited to an adult only home and have access to a safe garden as he has lived indoors before but the arrival of the child has caused him some distress as he can't go out.

He has been neutered and is up to date with his vaccinations.

• Adult only home required
• Garden required

Boots (M) HC5683

Anyone who has had the pleasure of knowing a black cat will know how special they are.   

Born on 16th March, Boots (blue collar) is full of beans. He’s a sweet, cheeky, brave boy who likes to investigate new things and will sidle up to you for pets. He loves a bit of attention and doesn’t like to miss out on anything. Boots is usually the one to start the mischief and is always at the front of the action. He’s a darling and is one of the first to come and say hello, check out anything new and looks after his siblings. 

Boots is very close to his sister Millie and we would like them to be homed together.    They are looking for their forever family in a calm household where there is time to play with and pet them. They have so much love and fun to give to their humans.

Dolly (F) HC5719

Dolly was a neutered stray being fed by one of the vet nurses at a practice we use.  This is what her foster home has to say about her.  

When Dolly came to us after a long period on the streets, she was quite shy and scared. Over time however, she has blossomed into the sweetest little cat and we are enjoying getting further glimpses of her personality every day!

While she still spends most of her time relaxing in the quiet and cosy den we've built for her, she also loves to be petted, nap in the laps of her trusted people and scratch at her scratching post. We expect from evidence of her nighttime wanderings about the house that she'll continue to open up into quite the curious and playful companion, as she's also begun to follow us around (especially to the kitchen around her dinner time).

We think that she would best suit a quiet and patient, possibly adult only home, as new places, people, and loud noises are still a little challenging for her, but she is a wonderful cat and we know that with time, love, and care she will continue to grow into an amazing pet.

Penny Black (F) HC5724

Penny is a very human loving cat and has taken excellent care of her six kittens. However, she has now raised them to teenagehood, and she would love to move to a forever home where she can be thoroughly pampered.  She would be happy as a single cat, or with a friend she can play with.

Penny would much prefer that she has more 1 on 1 human time - she adores head rubs and side scritches.  She is very playful as she is still a young lady.

Mission (M) HC5726

Mission is friendly, adventurous, cheeky and on the go! As per his siblings he is high energy and very playful. 

He's most interested in snuggling under the duvet and sitting in the window watching the world go by. 

They ought to go in pairs as they all love playing with their siblings

Viola (F) HC5745

The Shakespeare kittens Othello, Shylock and Viola were living as strays behind a row of shops.  They have been in our care for while now and are ready for adoption.

Viola is sweet little girl who would benefit from being homed with  Othello  (green collar) who are just a bit bolder than her.  She is the one in the photos without a coloured collar.

Othello (M) HC5746

The Shakespeare kittens Othello, Shylock and Viola were living as strays behind a row of shops.  They have been in our care for while now and are ready for adoption.

Black cats and kittens are often overlooked in favour of the "prettier" colours but they are often the most affectionate and have the best temperaments.  Othello has the green collar and is to be homed with his Sister Viola

Ophelia (F) HC5748

Ophelia came into our care with her kittens.   She was being fed behind a shop and then handed over to us.  She has been a good mum to her kittens but is ready for her own home now.

She was shy at the beginning which is not surprising but has become extremely loving and gentle and would make someone a very happy companion.  

It's such shame that black cats are so often overlooked but often have the sweetest natures and temperaments.

Peggy (F) HC5760

We rescued an utterly adorable band of 6 kittens from a difficult situation in which they would have struggled to survive. They were hand reared and nursed back to health, so they are very used to human contact and well socialised. It is thought they mostly share the same father, who has endowed them with fine leonine facial features but there must have been at least two mothers because of closely different ages.  

Between their antics they love to be cuddled and stroked and are always happy and excited to see you. They greet you with purrs, leg climbs and are eager to sit on your feet, lap or shoulder.

Every single one of them will make a delightful and affectionate family pet and they are suitable for sensible children aged 8 and over.

Meet Peggy, a beautiful grey female kitten with traces of tabby on her head.  She enjoys her food and her hand rearer says she was the first to get the hang of it!  She is also very affectionate and if someone else is getting attention she comes straight over to see what she’s missing.    Peggy is delightfully loving and her favourite place is snuggled tight into your shoulder at night.  She's straight into the warm cosy spot you leave if you get out of bed.

Sammy is a special little boy, he is black with a bold and independent nature and is usually  the first to express his pleasure at seeing you. He has the sweetest face which he enjoys being washed. He’s very affectionate and likes to snuggle close and wash your face in return. He will form a close bond with someone.  Sammy is always at the front of the queue and looking out for where the best fun is to be had.  He's very strong and active but likes to keep in touch with you.

Betty is a very pretty little tortie girl.  She only has to be looked at and will purr loudly.  She loves to play and cuddle but also likes a hiding place to sleep.  She’s worked out that she can get a peaceful meal by waiting for the others to scoff their fill before going for hers.  She was the first to be up on the windowsill and watch the world outside.  Dear sweet little Betty is the smallest but, being tortie, can fight her corner.  She gazes wistfully through the windows and is establishing her independence and enjoyment of solitude to sleep.  However she comes when called and enjoys cuddles and snuggles as much as ever.

Charlie is perhaps the most unique of the crew genetically with his adorable baby face and black and white markings.  He loves to cuddle and groom the others. He greets people with sweet vocalisations and also won’t be left out of anything.    Charlie has fits of extreme affection in the middle of the night and early morning.  All his strength and will goes into getting his muzzle into your face, however deeply buried, where he can keep his washing skills up to standard.  He's got fabulous big paws, a very well made and compactly cuddly body and a dear little face from which he gazes up at you lovingly.

Donut (F) HC5780

Donut came into our care as a heavily pregnant stray and gave birth to 4 kittens who have all been adopted.  She's been a very good mum and has turned out to be a very sweet and friendly little cat.

Now that she has finished "mummy" duties she is looking for her forever home. Here is what her fosterer says about her. 

She gets on ok with my two cats, so I think she would be fine to live with another cat friendly feline. She is VERY affectionate, always seeking out anyone to sit next to or on us. She's particularly fond of my daughters and my younger son and spends hours with them. Loves to play with pompoms, Christmas tree baubles and the dangly wand. She would be an ideal family cat.

Emmy (F) HC5786

Meet Emmy.  She is a very pretty dark tortoiseshell, a playful little lovebug who’s ready to find her forever home!

This darling girl has a big personality, she adores zoomies, feather toys, and chasing anything that rolls. When she’s not being silly, Emmy is incredibly affectionate and loves to curl up next to you for purrs and cuddles.

She’d make the perfect companion for someone looking for a fun, loving, and loyal feline friend. Emmy has been a joy to foster, and now she’s ready to share her heart with her forever family.

Neo (M) HC5808

Neo is a cute tabby and white boy who has very soft fur, a cute small face and big, adoring eyes. He settled into his foster home very quickly and could be stroked right away.

He's a bundle of energy and very playful. When he's awake, he can keep himself busy just exploring or playing with toys. Sometimes he'll sit in the box of toys to let you know he wants you to join in and, when he's playing, he often makes cute little noises.

He likes to be stroked, and you can pick him up for a cuddle when he's in his quieter moments. He enjoys being near you and having an afternoon nap next to his fosterers on the computer desk, or on their bed.

Lumi (M) HC5813

Meet Lumi - his name is Finnish for Snow.  He came into our care from a mult-cat household with black and white Mallow who we think could be his mum.  

As is fairly common in pure white cats Lumi is deaf so will need a spacious indoor home.  He also has very mild cerebellar hypoplasia which means he is a little bit unsready at times. 

Since he has moved into a foster home Lumi is adjusting really well. He does have occasional balance issues, which are related to his medical condition, cerebellar hypoplasia, but overall it hasn’t held him back at all. He’s very active, playful, and incredibly chatty — he’s been a joy to have around.  Nnne of this bothers him he's a sweetheard, playful and loves other cats.

As he can't hear he loves anything visual especially the Ipad.

Ideally he should be homed with Marshmallow

Marshmallow aka Mallow (F) HC5814

Mallow came into our care from a multi-cat household along with Lumi the pure white cat on our website.  It's possible she is Lumi's mum as they are very close.   She's a pretty little cat with her slightly fluffy coat and the little white tuft on her chest. They have recently been moved toa foster home.

Whereas Lumi is super confident, Mallow is more timid but has been making steady progress. She’s much more comfortable in the space now; she’s no longer hiding and even allows us to pet her. She’s still cautious and tends to flinch when approached, but I’m hopeful that with time and patience she’ll continue to build trust. She’s curious about my landlord’s cats, even though she isn’t quite ready to be friendly with them yet.

Ideally she should be homed with Lumi

Pebbles (F) HC5816

Pretty Pebbles is a 'pebbelicious' kitten. She has the loudest purr! A bit timid when you first approach her, once you start the neck scritches and cheek rubs, she will purr the house down, it is adorable.

Pebbles is a playful little tabby with beautiful swirly patterns and a cute stripey face with white socks and a little white bib on her chest. She is definitely the most confident of the three sisters, not quite as confident as her little brother, but is definitely getting there.

It is not surprising she is a little scared, because she was born in a shed to a feral mother so her first few weeks of life were spent with little human contact. We are doing the best we can with playing, sitting with her and her siblings at meal times so they start associating us with food, and trying to stroke and snuggle them at their own pace. Pebbles has come along in leaps and bounds and we are so proud of her!

Pebbles would be best off going to her forever home with one of her siblings, so we will be prioritising applications for her and a sibling. As hard as we try, us mere humans can never compete with a fellow kitten for chasing, wrestling, grooming and napping. Having said that, she is becoming more and more human orientated, so we suspect there may very well be a lap cat in there!

Chip (M) HC5817

Little Chip, Chipmunk, Microchip, Chipndale is such a snuggly, confident little man. He has us all wrapped around his little paw and we simply adore him.

Born in a shed to a feral mum, you would never believe this little boy with his sassy strutt had such a rough start to life. He is the only male in his litter and he is such a softy.

Mornings with Chip start with loud purring and excited circling around your legs while you prepare his breakfast. He likes to snuggle with his siblings, but now that it is getting colder, he is starting to discover the perks of a warm lap with a blanket as well.

He loves to play with his sisters, the zoomies and chases and wrestling matches are intense! For that reason we would definitely prioritise him going with one of his sisters.

Anyone would be lucky to add this sweet little man to their family, he will fill your home with sweet purrs and hilarious antics.

Topaz (F) HC5818

Tiny Topaz with her little pink nose and her little pink toe beans is adorable! She is so petite and pretty, she is a real little lady.

She is quite shy, and will need time to come out of her shell. We can pet her now when she is eating, and when she is very relaxed having a nap in her basket or in the hammock over the radiator, she definitely likes a little neck scritch and a tummy rub.

She is a feisty wrestler and chaser, loves to play with her siblings. When she's had enough, she will snuggle up with a sibling for a nap. Her nap time yoga poses are hilarious, we have tried to capture one for you here! 

It is not surprising she is a little scared of people, because she was born in a shed to a feral mother so her first few weeks of life were spent with little human contact. We are doing the best we can with playing, sitting with her and her siblings at meal times so they start associating us with food, and trying to stroke and snuggle them at their own pace.

Topaz would absolutely be better off going to her new home with either her brother or one of her sisters, so we will be prioritising applications for more than one kitten. 

We think Topaz will keep getting more and more confident with people, you can really tell that she wants to come up and snuggle, and we think she will definitely get there. So she needs a family that understands she will need a bit of time, but that she will thrive with patience and love.

Jet (F) HC5819

Jet is a tiny little mini panther and she knows it! She is up the cat tree, in the most impossible of spaces, she is sleek and has stealth. She has some adorable little white hairs on her chest.

Little Jet has been through a lot, so unsurprisingly she is quite a shy girl when it comes to interacting with humans. Born in a shed to a feral mother, Jetty's first few weeks of life were spent with little human contact. The fifth kitten in the litter sadly passed away, so we also can't know what impact that would have had on little Jet, especially as she is the smallest. We are doing the best we can with playing, sitting with her and her siblings at meal times so they start associating us with food, and trying to stroke and snuggle them at their own pace. We are definitely seeing improvement in Jet's interaction with us, but she is just taking her time and not progressing as fast as her siblings. That's ok little Jet, you do you!

We think Jet would do really well going with one of her siblings. With the right humans around her who understand about shy kittens and how to gain her trust and make her feel safe and loved, we know she will warm up.

Could you provide the perfect forever home for this precious mini panther? We hope so!

Robin (F) HC5823

Robin is a gorgeous young black cat with sleek short black fur and a sparkle of curiosity in her eyes.  She was handed in as a stray to a vet practice and we think she is just 1–2 years old.

She's playful, independent, and always up for an adventure — especially if it involves food! This inquisitive girl loves exploring her surroundings and will happily follow her nose to the treat jar. She was brought in with her kitten but her baby has found his own forever home now.   

Robin is missing her bottom teeth, so her tongue sticks out a little as you can see in the first photo.  It's rather cute!

Robin is FIV-positive, but that doesn't slow her down one bit — with a loving home and good care, she can live a long, happy, healthy life. If you're looking for a clever companion with a big personality (and an even bigger appetite), Robin is ready to steal your heart.

Due to being FIV positive Robin will need a home with a very safe, secured garden or as an indoor cat.    She tells us she would like to be an only cat please and that she can seem a little shy at first but when she feels loved and safe she will soon settle in.

Ella (F) HC5830

Ella was brought to our attention by a kind member of the public.  Having searched for an owner he took her to a local vet to check for a chip and she didn't have one and suspected she was pregnant.  Fortunately once taken to our vets she was discovered not to be pregnant. He would have loved to keep her but his housemate is highly allergic.

She's a pretty little cat with Calico markings and has a sweet and freindly temperament. She is only about 9 months old and would be an ideal family pet.

Switch (F) HC5837

Lovely Switch had an unsettled start to life, living in different homes for short periods of time, and understandably takes a little while to settle into her surroundings (what, she says, am I switching homes and beds again?!).  

She is all black and shiny with just a few white hairs on her chest.  She is a sweet gentle girl, and once settled in she is very loving.   She likes to sniff and then headbutt on her terms.  Curling up in her blankets and watching the birds out of the window is a favourite passtime - like feline TV!

Jinx (M) HC5838

Jinx is loving and snuggly, very vocal, and loves to be RIGHT ON YOUR LAP and if not, he’ll curl up as close as possible to you just to get warm. He loves to shout at you when you walk in the room and is very inquisitive. 

Jinx was rescued from a busy home with children so once he's settled he will  be fine - all he need is a little love and patience 🙂

Isabella (F) HC5840

Isabella is a sweetheart.  She came to us with her four little black and white kittens.  She is vocal and loves to talk to you, mainly when she’s waiting for a meal!

She likes to find a soft spot to curl up in, especially the cosy donut bed she has adopted! She loves being stroked and being made a fuss of and is generally just a very sweet girl.

The mark on her nose has been there since she arrived with us and hasn’t changed at all so might be an old trauma.  We call it her beauty spot!

Amelia & Milly (F) HC5841

November 29th was National Tuxedo Cat Appreciation Day and when you see the photos of the 4 little cuties with their impressive white whiskers we have in our care you can see why they deserve a special day. 

They were recently handed over to us with their mum Isabella and are looking for their new homes now. 

They are friendly and playful and would make good family pets. Ideally we would like to home them in pairs.  They are all female which is quite unusual.  We have named them Amelia, Betty, Lizzie and Milly

They will have started their vaccinations and been micro-chipped before homing.

2 of the kittens are reserved but we still have Amelia and Milly available for adoption
