Hector's House Cats for Adoption

Say hello to Lexington! 🥰

Aged around 3 years old, his foster says 'Lexington is a gentle boy, who likes a fuss, especially chin rubs. ❤️

He can be shy at first but he soon settles, and now he greets me every morning waiting on the bed. 🛏️

He likes cat nip toys and feather wands to play with, and he is good with older children. 🪶'

We believe with slow and careful introductions, Lexington could live with other pets and sensible children. He would also need a suitable outdoor space. 🏡

If you think you'd be able to give Lexington his furrever home, please apply to adopt here ⬇️

We bet that this young man will be *snapped* right up! 😉

Meet Snap!

Aged 2-3 years old, his foster mum says 'Snap is such a good boy! ❤️

He’s playful and chatty and loves a fuss.

He's met my cats and he has been good with them so with slow and careful introduction, he will be fine.

He can get a little bit frightened if you're stomping about, but he soon settles down.

He's just a loveable rogue ❤️.'

We believe with slow and careful introductions, Snap could live with other pets and sensible children. He would also need a suitable outdoor space. 🏡

If you think you'd be able to give Snap his furrever home, please apply to adopt here ⬇️

Most of the time we are asked (well more people moan about) why our adoption fees are so expensive, or if we could show a breakdown of exactly what is included within our adoption fees.

Well, as you can see below, our adoption fees aren't as expensive as you might think. In fact, we make a loss on each kitten that we adopt out. But can you really put a price on knowing that your kittens are healthy? A price on the fact that they are microchipped and neutered, meaning they are 2,000 times more likely to be reunited with their families (https://www.petplan.co.uk/pet-information/cat/advice/why-you-should-microchip-your-cat/), and less likely to have health issues?

If you can put a price on this then we definitely aren't for you, and good luck with your 'free' kitten!

For clarification, please note that we are a RESCUE, not a REHOMING centre.

Due to very limited space, we are unable to rehome cats from people.

I appreciate that this may seem strange to some, but unfortunately if we took in every cat we're asked to, or even a quarter of them, we'd never have any space for the strays, like Drake and Tippi (pictured).

We take in stray cats, feral cats, cats at significant risk (decided by me, nobody else) and feral mums & kittens.
We also accept cats from veterinary practices that have been handed in or surrendered to them.
There are many other cat charities that do offer a rehoming service, so please contact them instead.
Thank you 😻

Adopting kittens from Hector's House Cat Rescue!

Please read this through thoroughly as it outlines our adoption process for kittens. PLEASE NOTE that we always rehome our kittens in pairs unless WE decide it is best for the kitten to remain a singleton. We DO NOT rehome our kittens as indoor-only.

1) Apply to adopt kittens via our online application form found here:

https://www.hectorshousecatrescue.co.uk/adopting-a-cat/

2) One of our home-check team will be in touch to arrange a home-check. If they can't get hold of you they will leave a message. Please respond to a voicemail or text within 48 hours or you will be removed from our application list;

3) A day & time for a home-check will be arranged. If you cancel this, it is YOUR responsibility to get back in touch with the home-check team to re-arrange;

4) Once a successful home-check has been carried out, you will be sent a video created by our partners at Pet Remedy and your name will be placed on our waiting list.

5) When you are 'next' on our list, you will be offered a pair of kittens. These will be the next pair of kittens that are available. If you accept, you will be asked to 'pay' for your kittens via our online shop found here:

https://www.hectorshousecatrescue.co.uk/p/pair-of-kittens-adoption/

If you don't want those kittens, you will be offered the next available pair. If these aren't suitable, for whatever reason ie colour, you will then go back to the bottom of the waiting list. This is not negotiable.

6) Once the kittens are paid for, they are reserved, and collection will be arranged between you and the home-check team. This will be within 7 days of their neuter surgery and final vaccination. Unfortunately we are unable to 'hold' kittens for longer than this once reserved.

7) Due to most of our kittens being in a private home fostering environment, it is up to the fosterer as to whether they will allow you to visit in the weeks after reservation and before adoption.

8) When you collect your kittens, you will be expected to bring a suitably secure cat carrier.

9) Your kittens will come with a small knitted blanket which has his familiar smells on it. Please leave this with the kittens for at least two weeks. Your kittens will also come with a Pet Remedy New Home Kit. Please read & follow the instructions in the box and use the diffuser.

10) Please keep your adoption paperwork & vaccination cards in a safe place as it contains details of our post-adoption support advisor and the contact details of the veterinary practice your cat has been treated at whilst in our care.
PLEASE NOTE:
Our kittens are neutered, microchipped, flead, wormed and fully vaccinated including against FeLv

11) Most importantly, enjoy your kittens!

We will have given you comprehensive information as to the best way to settle your kittens in to their new environment. This is from a combination of research, practice and our experience. Please ensure that you fully adhere to them to avoid any frustrating complications in the settling in process 💕😻💞

Adopting an adult cat from Hector's House Cat Rescue!

Please read this through thoroughly as it outlines our adoption process for adult cats:

1) Apply to adopt a cat via our online application form found here:
https://www.hectorshousecatrescue.co.uk/adopting-a-cat/

2) One of our home-check team will be in touch to arrange a home-check. If they can't get hold of you they will leave a message. Please respond to a voicemail or text within 48 hours or you will be removed from our application list;

3) A day & time for a home-check will be arranged. If you cancel this, it is YOUR responsibility to get back in touch with the home-check team to re-arrange;

4) Once a successful home-check has been carried out, you will be sent a video created by our partners at Pet Remedy and advised to keep an eye not only on our page Hector's House Cats for Rehoming but also new arrivals on our main page Hector's House Residents.

5) When you find a suitable cat, you can express an interest and the cat will be assessed for his suitability to fit in with your family/household. If we feel it's a good match, you will be asked to 'pay' for your cat via our online shop found here:
https://www.hectorshousecatrescue.co.uk/p/adult-cat-adoption/

6) Once the cat is paid for, he is reserved, and collection will be arranged between you and the home-check team, within the following three days. Unfortunately we are unable to 'hold' cats for longer than this once reserved.

7) Due to most of our cats being in a private home fostering environment, it is not possible to meet the cats. We also believe that such 'viewings' are not a true representation of the cat and causes them unnecessary stress.

8) When you collect your cat, you will be expected to bring a suitable secure cat carrier. Please remember that a lot of our boys are on the large & heavy side so a small plastic carrier won't be suitable.

9) Your cat will come with a small knitted blanket which has his familiar smells on it. Please leave this with the cat for at least two weeks. Your cat will also come with a Pet Remedy New Home Kit. Please please read the instructions in the box and use the diffuser.

10) Please keep your adoption paperwork in a safe place as it contains details of our post-adoption support advisor and the contact details of the veterinary practice your cat has been treated at whilst in our care.
PLEASE NOTE:
Our adult cats are neutered, microchipped, flead, wormed and had any other treatment necessary carried out, including dental work.
They are NOT vaccinated although we fully recommend that you get this done 😻

11) Most importantly, enjoy your cat!

We will have given you comprehensive information as to the best way to settle your cat in to his new environment. This is from a combination of research, practice and our experience. Please ensure that you fully adhere to them to avoid any frustrating complications in the settling in process 💕😻💞
