Cats & kittens

Spyder (M) HC5112

Age: 4 years

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

Age: 3 years
Lena is related to Poppy
Must be homed with Poppy

Lena is a lovely calico lady looking for her forever home with her sister Poppy.  

She has stunning yellow eyes, very soft fur, and a lot of love to give. She was rescued when she was still a kitten, and while at the beginning she was very shy around people, she’s grown into a playful, happy and curious adult cat. She loves to hop on our lap when we sit on the sofa, enjoys (and often demands!) scritches and cuddles, and can’t wait to play chasing bouncing balls or pouncing on a toy mouse attached to a string. She also has lots of fun chasing her sister up and down the stairs, and play fighting with her.

 She is still a little unsure around strangers at first, and it will likely take a few weeks before she can feel at ease in a new environment. She is quite food motivated, and treats are the quickest way to her heart. When the time is right, she will reward you with lots of loud purrs, and the heartwarming affection only a cat can give.  

Lena has been enjoying going out and exploring our garden, so giving her access to an outdoor space is recommended - as long as it’s appropriately secured to avoid her wandering off. She will also need a couple of safe spots around the house she can nap in or retreat to, especially when the vacuum cleaner is on! 

Lena and Poppy would be suitable for adopters looking for a pair of easygoing cats to bring joy and liven up the home.

Poppy (F) HC5209

Age: 3 years
Poppy is related to Lena
Must be homed with Lena

Poppy is a gorgeous tabby looking for her forever home with her sister Lena.  

She has the sweetest round face, a cheeky look in her yellow-green eyes, and an insatiable curiosity for everything that goes on around her. She was rescued when she was still a kitten, and while she is the shy one in the pair, she has grown to trust and enjoy the company of the people she knows. Every day, she follows us around the house to check out what’s happening, and in the evening, she comes to sit on our legs to watch TV with us and Lena. She loves chasing a bouncing ball or a toy mouse, and really looks forward to daily playtime. She also has lots of fun chasing her sister up and down the stairs, and play fighting with her.  

Poppy can still be quite skittish. While in time she will start sitting with the people she trusts, kneading and purring, she doesn’t like being touched. Treats will bring her closer: she eats Dreamies out of our hands, and when she’s having cat yogurt, she happily accepts pets and lets us brush her. It will take a few weeks before she is completely at ease in a new environment, but she made a lot of progress since arriving at her foster home, and she is an absolute joy to be around. 

Poppy loves going out and exploring our garden, so giving her access to an outdoor space is recommended - as long as it’s appropriately secured to avoid her wandering off. She will also need a couple of safe spots around the house she can nap in or retreat to, knowing she won’t be bothered there.

Thelma (F) HC5614

Age: 3 years
Thelma is related to Ed

Thelma came to us as a stray along with an adult male and another female.   She is all black with a few white flecks on her face.

Her fosterer writes: 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 justice -she’s a real cutie!

Thelma would enjoy being the only cat in the household so that she can be lavished with attention!  She should be fine with children aged 7+.

Ed (M) HC5622

Age: 3 years
Ed is related to Thelma

Ed came to us as a stray with 2 adult female cats.  This is what our fosterer has to say about him: 

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!

Milo (M) HC5643

Age: 3 years

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?

Lumi (M) HC5813

Age: 2 years
Lumi is related to Marshmallow
Must be homed with Marshmallow

Meet Lumi - his name is Finnish for Snow.  He came into our care from a mult-cat household with the black and white female Marshmallow HC5814, who we think might actually be his mother.  They’re bonded and need to be homed together.

As is fairly common in pure white cats, Lumi is deaf and he also has very mild cerebellar hypoplasia which means he's a little unsteady at times, but that hasn't held him back at all.  None of this bothers him; he's a sweetheart, playful and loves other cats. He’s very active, playful, and incredibly chatty — he’s been a joy to have around.  

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

We are looking for a home for Lumi with Marshmallow as the pair are very bonded.  However because Lumi is deaf that new home needs to have a very safe and secure garden, which Lumi can enjoy on supervised visits but which Marshmallow can enjoy on a more regular basis.

Marshmallow (F) HC5814

Age: 2 years
Marshmallow is related to Lumi
Must be homed with Lumi

Marshmallow (affectionately known as Mallow in her foster home), came into our care from a multi-cat household along with Lumi the pure white cat HC5813.  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. 

Whereas Lumi is super confident, Mallow was a little more timid when she arrived in her foster home but soon got much more comfortable in the space.  She can still be a little cautious but she sleeps on the bed with us and likes being petted, A LOT.   She is now quite chatty too, not that Lumi can hear what she's talking about.

They are adorable together.

Robin (F) HC5823

Age: 3 years

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.

She's playful, independent, inquisitive and always up for an adventure and not fussy or greedy with food.  

Robin has a very sweet personality and loves playing with anything that resembles a tail and shredding of paper towels is a delight.  She likes playing hide and seek; she waits around a corner and then pounces playfully.

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!   She can seem a little shy at first but when she feels loved and safe she will soon settle in.  She follows her foster mum around and takes her favourite toy to bed every night. 

She tells us she would like to be an only cat please and gets very uppity with any cat that comes into the garden, telling them both vocally and by waving her tail that she isn't at all happy with their presence.  

Robin is FIV-positive, but 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 Robin is ready to steal your heart.

Due to being FIV positive Robin will need a home with a very safe, secure garden or a catio.    She gets stressed when she can't have any outdoor access.  She has been going out in the garden at her foster home but never ventures far.

Bluey (M) HC5860

Age: 2 years
Bluey is related to Bella
Must be homed with Bella

Bluey came into our care with his sister Bella as their owner was no longer able to care for them.

They are a beautiful pair of tabbies who have different markings. Bella is smaller and more spotted than her brother Bluey, who is bigger and has darker larger markings.

Since being in a foster home they have settled well and interact with visitors.  They love grooming each other and sleeping together curled up on their bed under the radiator.     Now the weather is better they love sitting looking out watching the world go by.

Bluey likes to have a quiet half hour away from his sister on his favourite bed in the lounge.

They are delightful, friendly companions and enjoy human company.

They are a bonded pair so must be homed together

Connie (F) HC5899

Age: 2 years

Connie - aside from being incredibly cute and having the softest fur, she has a lovely gentle personality and a very cute miaow. Now all her kittens have been adopted and she has finished mum duties her true personality has emerged.  

She's very sweet and affectionate comes up to say hello with lots of head rubs in the morning or when you come home.  She also likes cheek rubs/chin scratches and strokes.. She likes company but without being too clingy.

Connie likes to be in the room you're in, will sit right next to you on the sofa and make biscuits on the blanket for a while morning and evening and goes off to nap in her own space for some of the day 

She's very calm and like a lot of cats she has short bursts of energy in the evening playing with her scratching post, a toy a mouse toy or a puzzle feeder. 

She likes her food and treats - is very well behaved, and uses her litter tray perfectly. 

I think she would suit a calm loving home, possibly without children, or a family with older children who are gentle as she gets spooked by loud noises. She would like a home where she gets regular company and affection but also respects her space when she wants some alone time.

Tipsy (F) HC5935

Age: 2 years
Tipsy is related to Teddy Tango Tilly Tiny Tansy

Tipsy arrived with her kittens when they were just 3 weeks old.   Tipsy had been living as a stray and gave birth in somebody's outside toilet.   

Tipsy herself is a friendly tortoiseshell with beautiful markings.  She has been an excellent mother throughout to her kittens, calling them and keeping them washed and clean. She enjoys sitting on the window sill watching the world walk by.   

Right now she looks forward to the day when her beautiful 5 kittens find loving homes of their own, so that she can have a bit more 'me time'!
