I have deleted the post regarding Vance, Verito, Vincent, and Volvo, because the only reason for posting was to refute the lie by Special Paws about them.

Cats offered for adoption by Normanton Cat Rescue, subject to the following terms:

1. The adopted cat will be kept as a companion & will on no account be kept solely outside or in a cattery unless by prior agreement with a NCR representative.
2. The adopter must not be a dealer in cats or any other animals, nor an agent for such a dealer.
3. The adopted cat will be kept as a pet & not be used for vivisection, experiments or for breeding.
4. The cat will be fed, watered, be allowed to exercise freely & be kept in a good, healthy condition. If the cat should appear to be ill or injured at any time the advice of a qualified veterinary surgeon must be sought without unreasonable delay at the expense of the adopter.
5. The adopter will maintain the cat’s vaccination programme as advised by a veterinary surgeon at his/her own expense.
6. If the cat is not neutered/spayed at time of adoption it becomes the adopter’s responsibility to ensure this is done when the vet advises that the cat is ready for this.
7. A NCR representative should be allowed access to inspect the cat and his/her living accommodation at any reasonable time in the six months post adoption.
8. If for any reason the cat has to be given up or rehomed, NCR must be notified immediately & retain the right to reclaim ownership of the cat if deemed necessary.
9. The adopter must notify NCR within 12 hours in the event of the cat going missing or 72 hours of the cat’s death.
10. No one in the adopting household may have any convictions for animal cruelty/abuse/neglect. If this is found to be breached or if it is found that the adopted cat is being neglected/abused/mistreated in any way, NCR retains the right to reclaim adopted cat without notice.
11. Whilst every reasonable endeavour is made to ensure the cat is healthy on adoption, no guarantee can be made, given, or implied that the animal will not manifest, develop, or be diagnosed with any illness or condition. NCR accepts no liability for any disease or defect in health or temperament that the cat may later be found to be suffering. The costs of any advice or treatment in respect of such disease or defect will be the sole responsibility of the adopter.
NCR therefore suggest pet insurance is taken out at the earliest possible opportunity.

Thank you for your contact. As I don't know the people asking for kittens and cats, I send a questionnaire to find out more, so that I can try to make sure the kittens/cats are getting the best possible homes. I hope that's okay!

I enclose some questions. I hope it's okay. Let me know if there are any problems. Some of the following might not apply, as I'm intending to have the kittens neutered before rehoming.
This is basically my standard reply. I hope it doesn't seem unreasonable. Another rescue advised me on it. However, if there is something you cannot answer or you want to comment on then let me know.

What is your name (First and Last)?

What is your phone number?

What is your address exactly? (you can just give postcode at first if you like, but I would need to know exactly before the cat comes to you)

Is the home rented or owned?

Are you likely to go away for a month or more, or move away in the next year or two?

If rented do you have the landlord's permission to have pets?

Do you have a sanctuary room for the cat/s for a long as they may need it, so that they can be quiet away from other animals and/or children and noise?


Will you have the cat/s spayed/castrated when the vet says they are old enough, if they are not already done when they come to you?

Will your cat have access to outdoors or be kept as only an indoor cat?

Will you keep the cat in till he or she is spayed/castrated?

If your cat will be allowed outside, what outside access will your cat have (garden etc.)?

Do you have a cat flap?

Does anyone smoke indoors in the home?

Which vet do you/would you use?

Would you be happy for us to speak to your vets to get a reference if required?

Would you consider insurance for your cat/s?

Would you use a monthly pet plan with your vets for your cat/s if not insured?

How much would a cat/kitten be left alone, particularly when they are new to you?

Can you tell me a little more about your lifestyle & the home you can offer, eg who lives there, children, pets, work, holidays, etc....


I hope this is not offputting. Let me know if you have any queries about it all.

Five beautiful girls await new homes. Candy, Dana, Della, and Dulcie are spayed and microchipped, aged one year. Trudie is five or six months, due to be spayed before rehoming. Picture of Candy.

Found a tabby cat lying on a piece of carpet outside my front door last night. I strongly suspect that the cat was abandoned there. If anyone knows anything about it, or thinks it is theirs, please contact me.

Some of you will remember I posted three years ago about three kittens who were born outside, and I took them in. They stayed. Brandon, Megan and Lesley. Five or six weeks ago I took Brandon to the vets because he'd become very thin. They thought he probably had Inflammatory Bowel Disease, so he started medication and a high-calorie diet. However, three weeks ago his breathing was bad, so he had to spend time on oxygen in hospital, and was diagnosed with heart-disease. In addition to the IBD. After three days he came home with more meds. As soon as he came out of the cat-basket, he lay with my boy Filios and started purring. He loved lying with the other cats. The vet thought he might have nine months. However, on Saturday I was out most of the day and came home to find him lying dead on the floor, obviously dead for some hours. A terrible shock. Brandon was very sweet and gentle, and didn't scratch or bite even when being medicated, and in spite of his nervousness due to being born outside and not initially socialised. The vet bills have been over four-abd-a-half thousand pounds. Brandon was such a sweet boy. RIP.
