Meet Apricot, our sweet-natured and happy 1-year-old girl who is now searching for her forever home!

She is confident and affectionate girl who thrives on human companionship and she would much rather spend time with you, getting lots of attention and being fussed over, but only on her own terms.

She enjoys playing with toys too and will happily chase after a toy that has been thrown, or even dart after a string toy with enthusiasm. Her playful nature adds another layer to her wonderful personality, making her an entertaining and interactive companion.

Apricot is also a true foodie and absolutely adores her treats! Her love for snacks can be a fantastic way for her new family to bond with her.

We feel Apricot can be rehomed with another friendly cat, a cat-savvy dog and children of any age. Any introductions to existing animals should be done positively and slowly.

If you can offer Apricot the home she deserves, please send a completed perfect match form to [email protected]

Meet TJ, our 10-year-old male staffy cross who is now searching for a home to call his own this Christmas!

We have found TJ to be a super sweet friendly older boy who craves human company & attention. Despite his age, TJ is an active boy who enjoys going out for walks. We have found that TJ knows basic commands and is overall a gentle polite boy.

TJ is looking for a dog free home where he will get all the attention & love just for him. We feel he could live with older children 14+, and possibly live with a dog savvy cat. TJ doesn’t like to be left alone for long periods, he needs a home with people who will be around for him.

If you can offer TJ a cuddly arm and a spot on the sofa please apply by sending in a perfect match form to [email protected]

The fabulous Peaches & Mango are now searching for a loving home together!
This confident, curious, playful pair are bonded siblings who we have found to be very sweet and affectionate girls. They share a close bond and love spending time together, whether they’re playing in the outdoor area of their pod, snuggling up in bed, or exploring their surroundings. Their connection is strong, and they rely on each other for comfort and security.
They are naturally inquisitive, neither shy away from new situations. We feel they could live with a cat savvy-dog, another friendly cat & children of any age.

Peaches & Mango are perfect for someone who will appreciates their independent yet affectionate personalities. With patience and a little time, these sweet girls will reveal their loving sides and become loyal, playful companions who enjoy every moment spent together.

Meet Butternut Squash, our 1-year old female who is now ready to find the purrfect home to call home this Christmas!
When Butternut first arrived, she was a very nervous girl who spent much of her time hiding in her bed. With patience and gentle care, Butternut has blossomed into a sweet and affectionate cat who now enjoys human company and interaction. Her transformation is a testament to her resilience.

Butternut thrives when you take things slow and let her take the lead, rewarding your patience with her loving nature. She enjoys being fussed, for those she trusts, she’ll even roll onto her back and allow gentle belly rubs, a true sign of her comfort and trust.

A true foodie at heart, Butternut loves her treats and looks forward to mealtimes. We have found her to be very clever, she enjoys engaging her mind with interactive puzzles feeders.
Butternut squash is looking for a pet free home, she could live with older children of secondary school age.

If you think you could offer Butternut a loving caring home, please apply now. Applications can be found via our website. Once completed please send to [email protected]

BOTH ON TEMP HOLD

Meet our sorcerers Megumi and Nobara! Two 5-month old kittens that are ready for their next mission either together or separately!

Megumi is a reserved boy, that has settled well into cattery life. When he first came to us he was scared and wary of people, running away to hide while hissing. But with enough time, love and patience he soon learnt to trust people. While he still remains a little shy of new people and new things, a calm and slow approach is best. Megumi is a typical kitten, full of energy and wanting to play. He is happy to play alone, with his sister Nobara or even with people!

Nobara is a sweet girl, that has settled well in the cattery. On arrival, Nobara was scared and unsure of what was happening, choosing to run away and hide. But with enough love and encouragement, she soon learnt that people are nice and enjoys the company. Nobara still is a little shy of new people, but with love and patience, she will soon be your friend. She spends a lot of her day playing in her pod, either with her brother Megumi, with a person or alone.

Due to the shy nature of these two kittens, we feel that they would benefit from a house where introductions can be slow and positive. They can go to a home either together or separately, a home with another friendly cat and/ or a cat-savvy dog that will not chase. We also feel that they can go to a home with children of any age, that understand a cats behaviour and know to take it slowly.

If you would like to apply for either one or both of these kittens, please fill out a perfect match form and send it to us on [email protected]

Everyone say a warm hello to our little Tayto! She is a 17-week old kitten, that is ready for her next adventure.

Tayto came to us confident and affectionate, despite the not too great start she has had. She would cry for any amount of attention from anyone walking past, because of this she was moved into a foster home where she has flourished! When arriving in her foster home, Tayto was confident to explore her new area and finding her favourite spots to lie.

Tayto is your typical playful kitten, running around her foster home and playing with anything she thinks is a toy. She also loves her food and treats, happily taking them from your hand. So a home full of kitty toys and treats would be perfect for this little lady. Tayto loves people so much, that she wants as much company as possible! When leaving her, she does a little meow but after a short moment, she will settle and curl up in her chosen spot. When coming back to Tayto, she eagerly greets you with lots of meows and chirps, almost as if she is telling you all about her day and plans for the two of you!

In her foster home, Tayto is living with another two cats and a dog. She has interacted with the dog a few times, but has mainly kept her distance and watched from afar. If Tayto is to live with another dog, she would benefit from plenty of slow and positive introductions until she is settled. We also feel that Tayto would benefit from a quiet room to live in as she settles into her new home, that has plenty of hiding spaces for her to curl up and rest in.
Tayto can go to a home with another cat, a cat-savvy dog that knows not to chase and children of any age that understand cat’s behaviour and will be okay with a very playful kitten.

If you would like to apply for this girl, please send a competed perfect match from to [email protected]

We would like everyone to meet our beautiful Cinder, a little 18-week old kitten ready for her next big adventure!

Cinder is your typical kitten, full of bundles of energy and loving everyone she meets! When she first arrived at our centre, she was confident and full of curiosity to her new surroundings and friends. She spends a lot of time playing with all her toys, dancing about after them and climbing up her cat tree. Cinder is really inquisitive of the outside world, often watching the birds on the feeders outside of her pod. Cinder loves people just as much as her toys and treats, thriving off the interaction. While she isn’t the biggest fan of being picked up, she loves any attention or play time if you sit with her.

Cinder can be unsure of other cats, sometimes giving a nervous hiss towards them if they got too close. But she is also a curious girl, often following the cats at a safe distance and watching what they get up to. She did make a cat friend here at the centre with another friendly girl, and they would often play with toys together or play games of chase.

Cinder would benefit from a room to call her own as she settles in to her new home. The room should have plenty of hiding spaces for her to call her own as she settles into her new life. Cinder could go to a home with children of any age that know to take it nice and slow with her. Cinder may also be able to live in a home with another friendly cat, and a dog that is laidback and knows not to chase, with an introduction that is slow and positive.

We would like to introduce everyone to our little Treat! She is a 10 week old Yorkshire terrier mix, who is now ready for her new adventure, in her forever home!

Treat is currently in a foster home with another dog and three adults, but she will benefit from continuing her training and socialising with her new family. Treat can be a little low in confidence, but with enough time, patience and love, we are sure she will blossom into a treasured family member.

Treat was brought to us when her previous owner could not provide her with the care she needed. She is reliant on human interaction and affection, to help make her feel safe and secure. Slow and gradual exposure to the outside world would be the best for this girl to build her confidence. We think that Treat would be best suited to a reasonably calm and quiet household where she can really settle into home life.

We believe that Treat can go to a home with another compatible dog, a dog savvy cat and children of secondary school age or older.

ALL RESERVED

Cheerio and his three brothers are now looking for their forever homes!

They are all bulldog crosses and are about 3 months old.

As they are all still so young and are your typical, full of energy and very food motivated puppy’s, they will need to continue with their positive reward based training!

We feel they can be rehomed with another friendly dog, dog-savvy cats and children of primary school age or older. We don’t know how big they will get so new owners would need to be mindful of this.

If you are interested in adopting any of these boys, please send a completed perfect match form to [email protected]
