How to rehome a cat.
Thinking of rehoming one of our rescued cats? Find out how you can register your interest and be matched with the right cat for you.
Just like kennels we are always full on cats as well. You can also find the cats we have for rehoming on our website. Here you can see pictures of the cats and information about their personality and the type of home they need. If you think you match a cat’s requirements you can register your interest by completing our form, and then we can begin our step-by-step rehoming process.
Step 1: Complete our form
Download our rehoming form, fill it in and send it back to us. We’ll contact you for any further information we need, or to invite you in for an appointment to meet the cat. We do all our viewings by appointment as staff are incredibly busy, and need to plan time out of the cattery to talk to you about the cat. There might be a few cats that fit your circumstances and we would let you meet all of them and spend some time with them in the pens cuddling and playing. We also have a nice space with sofas and many toys to get to know the cat or cats. Download our rehoming form now.
Step 2: Let’s meet
After the first meeting we will put a 24 hour reserve onto the cat for you. We ask you to go away and have a think about it for 24 hours and ring us to either put on a full reserve or talk about the cat not being quite right for you and other options.

Step 3: Home visit
We will then book a home visit. During our visit, we will talk to you about keeping the cat inside for a minimum amount of time so make sure they are well adjusted to where they live. We will check location, the most suitable place for the cat to start off with as their area, door systems etc. We can give advice on any changes or how to start off the cats routine when you adopt.
You are welcome to come back and spend time with the cat as many times as you like (pre booked with us) whilst this is being carried out.
Step 4: Rehome
Once the home check is complete you can come and adopt the cat. Once the cat has been adopted we are always on hand for any advice. We will always help in any way we can. We will call you after 3 days and 3 weeks to check everything is going ok. A volunteer group will also contact you about a post home check within 6 months.
If anything should ever happen in the cat’s life like the owner becomes too unwell to care for the cat we always take any rescue back and do not allow any rescue to be taken anywhere except back to us.
