Ready to give a cat its furr-ever home? Take a look at the cats we have available below, read our adoption policies and get in touch.
We love each of our rescued cats dearly and work hard to ensure they are matched with the right home. We kindly ask that you only apply to adopt if you are ready to offer a home to our cats now. You must have all the facilities in place to ensure they will be cared for including covering the cost of vet bills and all essential care.

Watermelina & Bananita- 4 months
These two are incredibly friendly, affectionate girls who love people and are full of confidence. They may be small, but they certainly make up for it with their big personalities!
Both girls previously had swimmer syndrome, so you may notice they walk a little differently. Thankfully, this doesn’t affect them at all, and they run, play, climb and enjoy life just like any other cat. After such a rough start, they’ve come on amazingly well.
Watermelina & Bananita must be adopted together, as they share a very close bond. They are looking for an indoor only home where they can continue to grow and thrive side by side.
Debbie & Liam - 12 weeks
Debbie is the confident one of the pair and is always first to investigate something new. Liam is just as friendly and playful, but he’s quite happy to follow Debbie’s lead. Together they’re a fun, affectionate duo who love to play and keep each other entertained.
These two are looking for a loving home where they can stay together and continue to grow into happy, confident cats.
Christina & Rise- 11 weeks
These lovely sisters can be a little shy when they first meet new people, but with a little patience, they soon come out of their shells and show just how sweet and affectionate they are. They love playing together, exploring their surroundings, and are happiest when they have each other by their side.
Like any great space mission, they’ll need someone willing to give them a little time to find their confidence, but once they do, they’re out of this world
