SONIC
Born in August 2022
Been in rescue since October 2022

Born feral he is really quite a softy once he knows you. But he likes to hang with the feral guys here meaning he is picking up on their fears.
He is like lightening so I have to quick to catch a stroke from him and he will prefer to run away.
However do not let that put you off as he is good pals with a number of other black cats here and is also cheeky in coming close enough to try and grab food before others get it.
He was a bit more friendly as a youngster but lost some of that as he matured. I am certain in the right hime he will become a big soft lad once again.
If interested read the rest of the description and then message or email us. Comments on pictures get missed due to the vagaries of Facebook but messages always come through.

GENERAL INFORMATION
A non-smoking home is preferred 🚭 (cats can get cancer from smoking too).
All our cats come with 4 weeks free Petplan cat insurance and therefore have been health checked by our vets. Vet records will be provided to new owners.
Every cat has its own back story and you will be told its history as much as we know it. Nothing is made up, it's available, warts and all.
We currently ask that people donate a minimum £150 for all our adoptions. This goes towards some of the costs we have incurred in providing the basics for each cat. All cats inevitably cost us much more than this basic amount. With huge rising vet costs this figure can also change over time.

In the current economic crisis, we ask people to make sure they can afford a cat and will be able to manage ongoing expenses and vet bills AND have provision for any emergency care etc. Please think very carefully and ask yourself if you can really afford to take on a luxury such as a pet at this time. They are a long term commitment. A common reason for people giving up their pets is lack of money.

We ask people look at the age of the cat and that the human should preferably outlive the cat. There is nothing more distressing than an animal having to be rehomed after it has been settled for years with its owners. A cat can live 15-20 years and maybe longer. A common reason for people giving up their cats is owners dying or going into a care home. If you are nearing retirement age then be sensible and don’t ask for a kitten.

If you are interested in meeting any of our cats then as they are ALL in foster care in private homes, it is by appointment only. WE DO NOT HAVE A CATTERY.
You will need to read an information sheet and complete a questionnaire before being allowed to visit. This saves us time asking many questions as they are all on the questionnaire. Email or message us to ask for those documents. Should a visit be successful, we will ALWAYS deliver the cat to its new home to ensure we do a home check.

We ask adopters to keep in regular contact with the rescue for the lifetime of the cat. We have a fantastic support network of people in a private Facebook group and are there for help and advice at all times.

We give you a 100% guarantee that the cat can always be returned if an adoption does not work out but this should not be a sole reason for adopting the cat, we would hope people expect to have the cat for life.

Finally we get a lot of time wasters asking about cats then when we engage with them they ghost us. Please have the common courtesy of replying to our messages even if its to say you are not interested.

Whether it’s that eight-hour drive to spend the holiday at Grandma’s house, or that long-awaited summer holiday, you’ll need to make arrangements for your cat. For some people, kittys will go where they go and for others, reservations are made at the local boarding facility.

If your cat could make the choice though, I’d bet he’d prefer to stay in his own home while you go traveling off to various parts of the globe. Your cat, being a territorial creature who takes comfort in predictability, is just as happy to sit out the holidays as long as it means he gets to sleep in his own bed and the dinner schedule doesn’t get interrupted.

Home Alone Kitty

Unless your cat has been well socialized to people, travel, and new experiences, the best option is to have a pet sitter or a trusted friend/neighbor come in and care for your cat. Don’t believe the things you may have read that cats can do just fine by staying home alone as long as you’ve filled up a mountain of food and a big bowl of water. Things can go wrong in a house with an animal left alone – whether it’s a major medical emergency, fire, flood, electrical failure or just a minor medical problem, and you wouldn’t want your cat suffering because no one checked in during your weekend spent out of town. Additionally, it can be very stressful for a cat to find himself completely alone in a quiet home when he has been used to you returning each day at a certain hour and also being in the routine of interacting with you several times a day. If you work from home or if there are multiple family members in the household then to have the house suddenly become empty and quiet can cause lots of confusion and anxiety.

Too many people view cats as low maintenance and get them mainly because of the perceived convenience of not having to interrupt their lives too much. These cats are left alone for anywhere from just one night to four-five days. Imagine the risk these cat parents are taking with their cats’ health and safety. Now also imagine the anxiety these cats endure. Cats aren’t low maintenance substitutes for dogs and their health and welfare shouldn’t be compromised just so we can spend the weekend at the beach.

Cats may bite people for various reasons. Addressing the problem effectively, or better yet, preventing it from happening in the first place, starts with identifying the underlying cause. Cats don’t bite just for the sake of biting. There’s always a reason. Some common reasons for biting may inc...
