Say hello to Stan! 👋🏻

Aged around 9 months old, our volunteers say he is a handsome friendly lovebug, who has so much love to give.

Stan absolutely loves affection and attention and loves to climb onto your lap to demand strokes and fuss. ❤️

He is desperate for a family of his own to bestow his love onto and would fill any home with joy. Could Stan be the man (cat) for you? 😻

We believe with slow and careful introductions, Stan 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 Stan his furrever home, please apply to adopt here ⬇️

As soft and fuzzy as her name, meet Chenille! 🧶

Aged around 2 years old, Chenille's life was changed when her and her 6 kittens were rescued from under a building next to a busy road.

She has done a fantastic job caring for them but it's now her time for a forever family that will care and love her.

She is not a fussy cat and loves her food especially chicken. She loves a window to sit by and watch the world go by or a warm lap to curl up on when she can. 🪟👀

She is a very friendly lady who has been so busy being a mummy that she hasn't had time to play, but having a second chance will mean she can start living her dream of a life and family of her own. ❤️'

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

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

It's super special Spid!

Aged around 2 years old, his foster mum says 'This is the handsome lovely little Spid.

He’s a gentle soul who loves affection and lots of attention as long as he gets food in return!

He is absolutely obsessed with being around other cats, he’s so loving and playful towards them and he’ll wants to spend all his time hanging out with his furry little friends. 💕

He does enjoy human attention but if there’s another cat about then he’ll always pick his friends first. He’s happy to be around dogs as long as they respect his space. 🐈🐕

He’s always on watch to protect the home and to make sure everyone’s safe, so he prefers to be slightly higher up to keep a close eye! 👀

He doesn’t have a bad bone in his body. he can be shy at first but once he feels confident and he trusts the humans around him, he then becomes a wonderful addition to any family. ❤️

He’s very interested in the outside world, ready for his next adventures! He’s such a sweet wonderful independent boy who is just looking for more friends, will you be his new best friend??'

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

Ola amigo, meet Miguel! 👋🏻

Aged between 3-4 years old, his foster mum says 'Miguel is a wonderful little boy boy. ❤️

At first he can be shy but as his confidence his funny, affectionate and very playful side shines through. 💕

He loves attention and being fussed but isn't currently interested on sitting on your lap, but will sit right next to you. He really enjoys a ear scratch and will even allow his tummy to be stroked! 😻

He loves playing with toy fish on a wand and his absolute favourite toy is his furry ratty that he even takes to bed with him! 🐀'

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

Meet Lotus! 🪷

Aged around 11 years old, Lotus is described as 'a confident girl who loves nothing more than a good fuss. 💕

She loves rubbing up against your legs, and cuddling up to you in bed. ❤️

She has started to explore and her playful side is starting to come through.

She is a sweet girl who deserves a second chance."

We believe Lotus would be best placed as the only pet in the house, and could live with sensible children over the age of 10. She would also need a suitable outdoor space. 🏡

Say hello to Jerry! 👋🏻

Aged between 8-9 years old, his foster mum says 'Jerry is a wonderful cat, he is a big boy but a complete snuggle buddy. ❤️

Once he is settled in, he will be happy to sit next to you on the sofa and loves to get his tummy rubbed. 🛋️

He has an adorable habit of scratching his head with his back feet while laying on he's back, which is so cute. 😻

As an older gentleman, his favourite things are eating and sleeping in small spaces, usually under the bed. 😴

He is a total sweetheart and I would keep him if I could. 💕'

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

A purrfect pair, meet Bing and Marshmellow! 🤍🤍

Bing, aged 4, and Marshmellow, aged 3, are a bonded pair of brothers who are looking for a home of their own.

They have both settled in quickly at their foster home and are a friendly pair who love nothing more than a tummy rub! ❤️

They adore playing with toys and are partial to a few treats (but should probably cut down 😹).

They have met their fosterer's dog and seems to have taken to them well, but have taken a while to warm up to the other cats. So we believe with slow and careful introductions, they could live with other calm pets and sensible older children. They would also need a suitable outdoor space. 🏡

If you think you'd be able to give Bing and Marsh their 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 💕😻💞
