Cats & kittens

Amy (F) HC1701

Pepe and Amy are senior cats who came to live with us when their owner became too ill to care for them. They came from a  very quiet, single adult home and so will need to go to a calm and quiet, adult-only home. They are indoor cats so they will not require a garden.  They are very shy and do not like to be picked up but they are good companions and enjoy being in the room with us when we work, read or watch tv. It has taken some time but now they jump up on the bed, ready to greet us when we wake up and follow us up to sleep in their beds when we retire at the end of the day. They do not need much attention and are happy to have cat naps and play with their toys. 

Amy is a beautiful, long haired tortoiseshell. She is a super, super, shy scaredy cat but she will join Pepe when he sits with us. She enjoys being stroked and when she feels like it, she might give the lucky person a cat massage. She likes to play and will run and jump to catch her toys.

SHE MUST BE HOMED WITH PEPE

Both cats are neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped

• Adult only home required
• Garden not essential

Whisper (F) HC3212

This litte female was part of a stray colony and our intention was to neuter and put her back but after a couple of days at the vets they realised she isn't feral just a little timid but friendly so it wouldn't be right to put her back.

The vet nurses called her Whisper as she's very quiet.  She will probably need a quiet adult only home where she can flourish and ideally to be homed with her friend Belle who is in the same foster home.

Luna (F) HC4467

"My name is Luna and I’m a gorgeous 3 year old girl with a luxuriously soft and thick black coat that you want to pet for days.

As I haven’t had the best of luck with my previous humans I do have trust issues and it takes me a bit of time to settle down in a new place and get used to people. I don’t get on well with other pets or children as they scare me. I really just need my vey own loving and patient hooman who’s willing to give me the time, space and care I need to build up my confidence and trust.

I’ve been with my foster momma for 3 months and although I’m still not confident enough to ask for cuddles I do let her pick me up and pet me for a while cause I know she likes it so much. I kinda like it too but don’t tell her that or she’ll be doing it all the time! I’m a cat after all and have a reputation to maintain!! I’m very independent and adventurous so a kitty door and safe access to outside is essential "

Luna is neutered and up to date with her vaccinatons.  She also has a pet passport as she's been to Spain before.  

• OK with older children
• Garden required
• Luna has been neutered

Skippy (F) HC4486

We probably should have called Skippy Juliet and her boyfriend Hopper Romeo. They came into our care separately and Skippy had been living outside longer than Hopper  Hopper was the most confident and because Skippy was very timid we thought that putting them together would help her. This has worked well and Skippy loves to play with Oscar and can match his energy. They love each other and Skippy follows Hopper everywhere.  Skippy still remains a litte wary of humans (unless food is involved) but her confidence has increased dramatically in foster care.

We couldn't bear to part them so Skippy and Hopper must be homed together.  Skippy is the one at the back of the photo.

Skippy and Hoper would suit a home with enough space for them to retreat to for naps and would enjoy a secure garden to explore and play in.

Please don't apply to adopt them if you are outside our catchment area or don't have access to a garden

• Adult only home required
• Garden required
• Skippy has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated

Lesley (F) HC4511

Lesley is a small bundle of energy. She is very affectionate and will enjoy sitting on your lap once she gets to know you. She's got a good appetite and loves playing with her toys. She likes the other cats in the house but she will initially be timid with people she doesn't know. 

Lesley must be homed with her sister Delilah. Her foster family is a single person household with three resident cats, so she is looking for a similar household with one or two adults, and maybe a resident cat wanting some new friends.

Lesley is neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. 

• Adult only home required
• Garden required
• Quiet home required

Delilah (F) HC4512

Delilah is confident and feisty. She will let you stroke her once she's decided you can be her friend, but only when she feels like it. She likes the other cats in the house and enjoys playing and exploring.

Hopper (M) HC4513

Hopper is a curious and friendly young cat who loves to play and is looking for a home he can settle down in.   He loves to follow you around the  house calmly, enjoying a good stroke, with an hour or so of energetic playng throughout the day.

We probably should have called Hopper 'Romeo' and his girlfriend Skippy 'Juliet'.  They came into our care separately and Hopper was paired with Skippy who had spent longer living outside and so was more wary.   So to build her confidence we thought that putting them together would help her and this has worked well.   They love each other and Skippy follows Hopper everywhere.

Hopper and Skippy are neutered and fully vaccinated.  Hopper is the one in the front of the photo.

They would suit a home with enough space for them to retreat for naps and would enjoy a secure garden to explore

Please don't apply to adopt them if you are outside our catchment area or don't have access to a garden.

Selkie (F) HC4535

Selkie was rescued from an abandoned  car in a car park and moved to a foster home at the beginning of November with her kittens who have all been adopted 

Selkie is a sleek, elegant, coal-black young cat.   She is thought to be just over a year old.

She has a calm nature, enjoying being stroked and often responding verbally.  She would make a lovely pet where someone would like a quieter but affectionate cat. 

Selkie is fully vaccinated, spayed and micro-chipped.  Probably best suited to a adult only home.

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

Pepe (M) HC4543

They came from a  very quiet, single adult home and so will need to go to a calm and quiet, adult-only home. They are indoor cats so they will not require a garden.  They are very shy and do not like to be picked up but they are good companions and enjoy being in the room with us when we work, read or watch tv.

They do not need much attention and are happy to have cat naps and play with their toys. 

Pepe is a strong and handsome tuxedo cat. .  He is very shy and timid but once he settles down, he is a lovely cat.  When he first arrived, he hid in the bedroom and we would find him under the table, shelves,  duvet and even in the pillowcase! It took him a few weeks to adjust to his new surroundings and trust us but it was certainly worth the wait.  He has turned into the most wonderful lap cat who will purr and allow us to stroke him for hours.

He must be homed with Amy.

Both cats are neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped

Binx (M) HC4544

Binx was handed into one of our local vets as a supposed stray.  However he is such a friendly boy we think it was probably their own cat.  He is now in a foster home and this is what his fosterers say about him.

Binx is a handsome fluffy black boy.  He's doing well and we really enjoy his company. He's a very chilled cat and quite lazy. He is clean and well behaved, using the scratcher, the litter tray, etc. He doesn't  "talk" much, and he likes some petting, but does not enjoy being held (unless he is very hungry). He plays a bit, he likes the red laser and catnip hidden in a toy, but when he's had enough  flops on the floor.  He will follow you anytime you visit the kitchen; he thinks he might get some food.

He would probably be best suited to an adult home who wants a well behaved and chilled out cat.

Binx has been neutered, micro-chipped and started his vaccinations

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OUR CATCHMENT AREA OR DON'T HAVE A PRIVATE GARDEN

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

Missy (F) HC4548

Missy is a really pretty, long haired, mature, tabby girl who who was reported to us a stray.  It turned out that Missy left home when her previous owner got a puppy, so we are therefore looking for a new home for her without dogs.  

We also think that Missy might prefer to be an only cat.  Certainly she seems to enjoy a home that can provide her with peace and quiet, probably with a single person or couple and no young children.   

As she is long haired she is going to need regular brushing to keep fur matting at bay.  Fortunately she really loves the brushing. 

Missy has been in her foster home for just a week and is currently practising social distancing.  She says hello to her fosterer in the morning and then goes about her playing business independently.  She is becoming more confident in her new surroundings as each day passes.   

• Adult only home required
• Garden required
• Quiet home required
• Missy has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated
• Wider coverage area considered

Cookie (M) HC4576

Cookie is a three year old handsome boy with unusual colouring. 

He is an independent cat and quite affectionate but doesn't like to be over-petted so best suited to an adult only home .

He recently used up a couple of his nine lives as he was hit by a car.  Fortunately he has made an excellent and complete recovery.  We are now looking for a home for him on a very safe road and with a large garden for him to explore.  For this reason we are happy to take applications from outside our usual catchment area to find him the perfect home.

He wouldn't be happy to live in a home with other pets although he can sometimes make friends with others outside.  

Cookie has been neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped and is ready for his new home.

• Quiet home required

Penny (F) HC4589

Penny came into our care with her four kittens a few months ago. Initially she was nervous, and understandably protective over her 2 week old  kittens. But as they grew, so did her confidence.

This is what her foster home says about her.

She will lick food from your fingers, and if you are lucky you can get a little head stroke in at the same time. She will happily trot around, and is particularly fascinated by the smells that come down the (blocked up) chimney.

When our next set of unrelated kittens came in she had a few lovely conversations with them through their pen, so I think she would be fine with another cat who could help her learn confidence with humans. She also happily lays next to my 3 house rabbits. 

If someone had the time to befriend her I think she has the makings of a loyal pet. A quiet adult home would be best for her.

Penny has been spayed, vaccinated and miro-chipped.

Eponine (F) HC4596

Eponine has been a wonderful mum to her two kittens Leon and Ellie. She is a gorgeous black cat with striking green eyes and a beautiful soft coat. Her striking looks are matched with a beautiful temperament.   She loves being brushed and groomed.  It's hard to see in the small photos but she has impressive whiskers and a sprinkling of white hairs on her chest.

She would make a lovely, gentle companion, who likes to be stroked and is quite vocal with her gentle miaows. In the evenings she likes to lay down next to you and watch TV.   Her foster mum feels she will blossom in an adult household. 

Eponine has been spayed, started her vaccinations and been micro-chipped.

• Eponine has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated

Lulu (F) HC4645

Four little scaredy kittens arrived in their foster home about 8-9 weeks old - three (almost!) identical black boys and their feisty black and white sister.  They all love playing with toys, chasing each other and tolerating visiting adults and toddlers, although their best fun of all is trying and failing to catch the occasional fly who has the temerity to enter their home.

Lulu (who must go with Inky or Leo) is still a bit scared of humans and doesn't like to be held, although will happily curl round legs and purr when food is being offered!

She is fully vaccinated and microchipped

Three of them in the photo below patiently waiting.

Inky - slightly slower than his brother Leo to come round to not believing his mother's tales of all humans being evil, he was still the first to develop a loud purr at being stroked and cuddled!

Leo - so called because he is the bravest of the litter and was the first to accept humans.  He is more than happy with being handled and cuddled.  He has mastered the art of relaxing !! He will be homed with one of his siblings.

He has been microchipped and is fully vaccinated.

Merry (F) HC4650

Merry is a pretty little black and white kitten, a  little more timid than her brother Boris.  She will sit back and watch him before joining in play.

She will have started her vaccinations and been micro-chipped before homing

Boris (M) HC4652

Boris is a gentle, fun loving long haired  bundle of tabby fur. He gets so excited at meal times that he emits a gentle growl whilst he eats. He chases his sister around, and loves to play with toys.

Ideally he would be homed with his sister Merry.  Boris is super playful and Merry has just started to climb on a lap for a short time.

He will have started his vaccinations and been micro-chipped before homing

Toto (F) HC4655

Toto was handed in to one of our vets as the person who origingally took her in as a stray discovered she as  allergic and it exacerbated her asthma.

We don't know much about Toto's background  but she is a sweet and friendly little cat and is used to being in a domestic situation. 

Toto will be spayed, started her vaccinations and been micro-chipped before adoption.

• Garden required
• Toto has been neutered

Porridge (F) HC4669

Porridge is a gorgeous white and grey kitten. She is a shy girl and will need a patient family, that are happy to give her time to come out of her shell.

In the short time she has been at her foster home, she is slowly showing more of her personality, she likes to be tucked away, but can’t resist a treat or any toy with feathers! 

She is to be homed with one of her more confident siblings

• OK with older children
• Garden required
• Porridge has been microchipped and has started vaccinations

Coco (M) HC4670

Coco was the first of the litter to come for a cuddle, he loves strokes and purrs a lot. He has settled in very quickly and is not nervous. He likes to sleep out in the open and is happy to be picked up.

He would make a great pair with his sister (Coffee) who is more shy but loves to play with her brother. His fur colour is very unique, although he appears to be a black cat, in the sunshine he is a warm chocolate black, hence the name Coco

To be homed with one of his siblings

• OK with older children
• Garden required

Coffee (F) HC4671

Coffee is gorgeous black cat with an identifying white tip to her tail. She is a shy girl, and will need a family that is patient with her. Loud noises and quick movements will startle her, though she is happy to sleep on her cat tower in the open, she doesn’t hide.

When she is comfortable she loves to be stroked and will purr till she falls asleep. She would be best suited to being rehomed with her brother Coco.

• OK with older children
• Garden required
• Coffee has been microchipped and has started vaccinations

Pudding (M) HC4672

Pudding is such a  handsome slightly fluffy boy, definitely going to grow up to be a big cat! He loves to eat and sleep.  He has very long white whiskers.

Ways to win him over; treats and belly scratches when he’s sleeping (his favourite). 

He would like to be homed with his sibling possibly Smoothie
