Willows cat adoption centre

Small purrfectly formed shelter in South Shields caring for homeless/unwanted cats across NE England Viewings are 30 minutes. Or call volunteer Lisa 07989540342.

�WE CURRENTLY HAVE A TEMPORARY COVID-SAFE ADOPTION PROCESS THAT WE WILL TALK THROUGH TO ANY PROSPECTIVE ADOPTERS AT FIRST INTERVIEW. ADOPTING FROM WILLOWS

If you have space in your home and heart for a rescue cat, then please read the details below and call us to start your adoption journey. Interview
We take great pride in finding the purrfect match, so we start with a telephone interview. We’ll

ask lots of questions about you, your family and your lifestyle and any preferences. Try to keep an open mind about the s*x, colour and age as we believe getting the right pussycat personality is most important. We have cats at the shelter and many more in foster homes, and even a waitlist of cats awaiting a Willows place, so if we don't immediately have the right match then we get new cases every week. Viewings
You'll be met by one of our friendly adoption volunteers and be able to spend some time with the cats. That's because we may have a viewing after yours and we want everyone to have their own personal time. If we have found your purrrfect match you can adopt at the end of the viewing, so bring your cat carrier along just in case. We'll complete the paperwork and give you your personal copy of the 'Willows Catzette' mews-letter which has lots of top tips on caring for your new cat. We can reserve a cat for a day or two, to give you time to buy any essential kit. You can borrow a nursery cage if you're taking a shy kitten, or if you're introducing a new companion cat. If it wasn't to be this time around, new kitties are arriving all the time, so it may only be a short time before we find you that purrrrfect match. Adoption fee
Our adoption fee is typically £145 which helps pay our shelter running costs, neutering, vet care and other healthcare treatments. £15 from this goes into the ‘Brick Fund’ savings to go towards a bigger shelter that we’re hoping to achieve in the next five years. The rest of the adoption fee supports the up to 40 cats in our direct care at the shelter or in foster and we help many outreach cats too. The adoption fee may be less for a vintage or more on the rare occasion we have a pedigree in need of a new home. Healthcare
Whilst they're with us, all Willows cats are treated for fleas and wormed, and neutered (if over five months old). If you adopt a small kitten then you are agreeing to have them neutered when it's time. Sadly we can't afford vaccinations but as some contact diseases and airborne viruses are life-threatening, we recommend you have kitty immunised before they go outdoors. Talk to your Vet about vaccinations. Ongoing support
We're only a phone call away if you have any concerns in the first few weeks of getting your new cat or kitten home. It can take up to three weeks as a settling in period. If at any time in the future your circumstances change and you can no longer love and cherish your Willows cat, you MUST contact us so we can make arrangements for their return. Spaces are never available immediately, so please be patient. You must not surrender them to another shelter nor pass them on to family or friends and certainly not to strangers. Get in touch
You can reach Willows founder Maria Harrison on 07719605383. She's been doing this for over 50 years and is an expert moggie matchmaker. We do get lots of calls about rescues, reported strays, adoptions and all manner of kitty conundrums, so if we can't answer right away, we’ll get back to you and usually within 24-48 hours. If you don't hear back or the phone was engaged, then please call again. When you leave a message, please give us your full name, reason for calling, and we can call you back. Thanks for choosing a rescue shelter to give a kitty a forever home.

⭐️NAME: Gorgeous George
⭐️AGE: Unknown, the vet suggested I could be 5 maybe up to 8 years.
⭐️STORY: I was rescued from the streets last November. Initially terrified, withdrawn, and defensive, I hissed at first, but at least I was safe and warm now at Willows. I no longer had to worry about finding shelter or food. Ten days later, off I went to the vets to have my much needed neuter operation and chip. With patience, gentleness, and soft, encouraging words, the volunteers soon found out that I really love being stroked. One day in January I decided I would take my first leap of faith and ventured out of my pen onto the high scratch-post-platform to eat, then play. Now I’m in the big boy cabin and being braver every day. My progress may be somewhat forgotten once I am moved. But with time, patience, and the right human and home I will get brave again and show my true amazing personality.

⭐️LIVING ENVIRONMENT: Since I’m a very nervous kitty, it would be best for me to be FULLY INDOORS. This way, I won’t run into any danger while trying to avoid strangers. Committing to having a fully indoor cat is a big responsibility. An enclosed catio, attached to a window or door, would be lovely for me if that was ever a possibility in the future. Then I could still feel the breeze and have some time outside, but safely.

⭐️HUMAN INTERACTION: I need a tranquil home with one or two calm gentle adults. No young children now or ever. Patient humans who allow me to settle at my own pace. A mature home: neither a young person whose life will change significantly in the next 10 years, which would cause upheaval for me, nor too old a human because ideally I wouldn’t want to go through rehoming again in my lifetime if they were to go before I do.

⭐️OTHER PETS: It’s best if there are no other pets that could prove to be a challenge in the home so that I can be my true and best self, a shy but devoted, loyal companion. Just me and my chosen human(s) who are home a lot to keep me company, and vice versa.

💖AWAITING ADOPTION💖 I’m , maybe 8 to 10 years, shy but very very sweet and beautiful Brindle Mosaic Tortie with golden threads. I’m looking for a kind gentle patient person with a 💖BIG HEART, and a 💖QUIET LIFESTYLE and 💖NO OTHER PETS and 💖NO YOUNG CHILDREN now or ever in my lifetime… that could be another 10 years.

Someone with lots of love to give, and a peaceful home, who is willing to consider a more mature and shy lady. They will be rewarded tenfold with my fabulous company, my love and loyalty once I’ve settled and they’ve earned my trust. Once I settle you’ll find I adore gentle strokes. I roll over for tummy tickles. My purr is deep and your reward for treating me with patience and kindness.

I will hide away at first and will just pop out at night for some food. Be patient and let me go at my own pace. I will get braver and venture to you for a stroke and after that my confidence will grow each day, although I’ll always be a shy girl.

Once I realise I am safe and loved, my favourite thing will be to sit on your lap for aaaaaages and get head rubs. After a few weeks I will probably be comfortable enough to join you on the bed to sleep curled up against you. In the morning I may meow to see if you’re awake then come up to the pillow end for strokes.

I like to sit at the top of a cat tree with a good vantage point or on the windowsill and look out the window. My favourite toys are springs and balls with bells in them.

I get frightened by sudden movement or loud noises so I need a peaceful understanding home with no young children now or ever. I MUST be an indoor cat on account of my need to run from perceived dangers. A secure safe catio would be a dream but not essential as long as I have indoor space, love and playtime enrichment and good window to watch the world go by.

While I was at the shelter Willows paid for my big dental and my last few remaining teef went to the toof fairy. She’s had the lot now! But it’s ok, I still eat up all my wet dinners. I also like a bit of dry kibble in a puzzle ball to knock about. But my favourite treat is Creamie Dreamies… yum yum yum!

If you have a peaceful home, speak gently to me, let me take things at my own pace and wait for me to come to you, I’ll be the sweetest, most loving girl you could meet. Promise.

Paws sincerely
Clara

Thank you to David and Margaret Brown for their kind donation of £250 into our ‘Brick Fund’ in memory of Isabel Brown who passed away in 2024. They told us Isabel’s home was very rarely animal free and that she loved following the Willows stories on her iPad (yes she had one at 90). She had animals all her life, both cats and dogs, and when she didn't have any she walked dogs for other people.

Isabel sounds like a wonderful animal-loving lady!

We’re saving for a bigger shelter, and we will remember Isabel when we finally get there… hopefully in the next 2 years.

⭐️AWAITING ADOPTION⭐️
is a charcoal-smoke Maine Coone.

Gwen needs a home with lots of space, inside and out because she’s super fit and very athletic.
She’s a speedy and high-jumping athlete! So We’re dreaming of a large home with staircases she can run up and down and where she can safely explore the great outdoors in a big secure garden, to climb trees, and burn off all her energy.

She will need to be the ONLY PET; she really doesn’t like other cats.

She can be startled by sudden noises so no young children now or in her lifetime.

She’s very intelligent and incredibly social so needs someone who has time to snuggle and PLAY and ENRICH her day. Someone who works from home or at home a lot would be perfect for her.

Her favourite toy is a feather fishing rod. She never gets tired of playing with it. She also loves her furry mice and will play games retrieving them.

To keep her fur healthy and tangle-free, she’ll need regular grooming.

She’s doing great in foster care, getting lots of love and attention until her forever home finds her.

If you think you can offer Gwen the right home, call Maria 07719605383.

✅NOW MATCHED ✅

💛Could YOU be Bert’s last love? 💛
Do you think Vintage treasure (aged 15) deserves love just as much as any other (younger) cat?

You might have a broken heart in a year or three. But in whatever time he has left, Bert will be a loyal, loving lap cat.

Better he breaks a heart than have no heart to love him.

Bert is a vintage boy looking for a QUIET home with a calm, gentle mature human (or two).

He is a BIG softie who LOVES COMPANY and loves being brushed and stroked. He loves a sunny spot and is quite happy to snooze in his favourite place. Especially loves tummy tickles and rubbing up against your legs when he hears a tin of tuna fish being opened. It’s hard to ignore his big beautiful eyes.

Could YOU be Bert’s love?

❗️HELP❗️We need a couple more temporary Foster homes as we are full to overflowing. This is not an adoption, it’s somewhere to house an adult cat TEMPORARILY until they can be adopted.

Are you…

❤️Living in South Tyneside
❤️Able to help for 4 WEEKS (ideally longer)
❤️Mature, responsible, patient, able to observe and report back, and able to follow instructions.
❤️Time each day to give a cat some company
❤️A home with no babies, nor small children nor any boisterous / unpredictable older children. Kind older children who can follow instructions well can help with care.
❤️Ideally no other pets, or a separate room that can still have hustle and bustle, TV or radio and visits from you etc.
❤️Own transport would be a bonus (to take to our nominated vets if ever needed).
❤️Full Instructions, food will be provided.

❤️SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE with your contact details, address, a bit about what you can offer to help temporarily foster a cat in need for 4 weeks (ideally longer).

Thank you to ⭐️JOSEY⭐️ for this kind donation.

won over his new humans at his viewing yesterday (not that we doubted it for a minute), and will be heading off next week. A lovely quiet understanding indoor home with a lovely couple who adopted from us before but who sadly had to say good bye to their Willows kitty at Christmas. How wonderful they are opening their heart and home to give another mature cat a chance at happiness. We could do with a dozen more homes like the one Hector is heading off too.

22/02/2025

Thank-you to ⭐️Rachel & Matty⭐️ for this entire box of KatKin for the rescue kitties. says has first dibs since he’s being so brave with his progress.

22/02/2025

We always get lots of enquiries for kittens. But thanks to Mother Nature, in the colder months unutered females rarely come into heat and so the volume of unplanned kittens born outdoors or otherwise are drastically reduced. (Thankfully). Only the odd littler will be born here and there.

It means November - April we can focus on getting adults lovely homes who often wait many months (and much longer the older a cat gets).

So we are especially grateful to those adopters that consider rescuing mid-age cats (7+ years) up to vintage treasures. Giving them a much needed second chance in life.

We match humans and cats based on family, and home situation and any preferences wherever possible and first and foremost the individual cat’s needs. There can be a lot of variables when trying to find the perfect match.

…⭐️ADOPTED this week
Youngster was neutered and chipped then adopted this last week by Malcom & son. Paws crossed he’s settling in.

Meanwhile vintage treasure has quickly stolen the hearts of first-time Fosterer’s Meggy & Ian; a foster place lost but lovely forever home for Foggy in his twilight years gained this week.

…⭐️VIEWINGS coming soon…
is being fostered but she too might just get to permanently stay.

, currently at the shelter, hopefully has his viewing & new home in a week’s time after the adopters upheaval of decorating is complete.

A viewing is in the pipeline soon for another vintage treasure, currently in foster care with volunteers Keir & Brigi.

in foster with volunteer Susan has a viewing today so we’ve got our paws crossed.

We have a cat urgently awaiting a foster space so hoping we can make the move for her very soon.

22/02/2025

Whilst is awaiting her neuter slot before she can be rehomed, she wanted to say thankyou to ⭐️Elizabeth⭐️ for this kind donation for the rescue kitties.

.Seeking kind human to be the next chapter in
❤️GEORGE’S story…

Gorgeous was RESCUED from a reported COLONY of STRAYS at the end of November. Initially terrified, withdrawn, and defensive, he hissed at first, but safe and warm at Willows. He no longer had to worry about finding shelter or food. The first step on his journey.

Ten days later, after a little time to decompress, George underwent his NEUTER and CHIPPING procedure on December 9th. A very important next step.

George was initially reclusive, retreating to the back of his kitty apartment whenever a hand approached. However, with patience, gentleness, and soft, encouraging words, it turned out that George actually really LOVED BEING STROKED and tickled around his HEAD and NECK.

In fact, he went into a frenzy, OVERSTIMULATED and nibbly. It’s always best to avoid reaching this point.

So once we understood George’s BOUNDARIES and tolerance levels, calm, shorter bursts of strokes were what was needed stopping before he reached overstimulation, another important step in his journey.

Day after day, we cared for George. Then, on January 31st, George decided that this was the day he would take his first LEAP of FAITH with volunteer Karen. He ventured out of his pen onto the high scratch-post-platform to eat. Food is a great motivator for timid cats, and this BIG (little) leap was the next significant milestone on his journey. That weekend, Val brushed George and made a mini George from the fur she removed.

George didn’t want to leave his pen for a little while, but over the next three weeks, with some encouragement from our volunteers, he has been taking these little leaps of faith more frequently. Initially, he only ventured out for food, but now he feels safe enough to sometimes play on his scratch-post platform.

Our ultimate goal is to find him the perfect, forever quiet, and understanding home. However, his progress may be somewhat forgotten once he is moved. But with time, patience, and the right environment, with a gentle, mature, and nurturing human (or two), we know he will make a lovely and loyal companion for whoever takes the leap of faith to adopt him.

⭐️NAME: Gorgeous George
⭐️AGE: the vet thinks anywhere up to 8yrs
⭐️HUMAN & HOME: George needs a tranquil and patient home with one or two adults. He should be allowed to settle at his own pace. He’s needs a mature home: neither a young person whose life will change significantly in the next 10-12 years, which would cause upheaval for George, nor too old a human because ideally we wouldn’t want him to go through this again in the future.

Since he’s nervous, it would be best for him to have a quiet home and be FULLY INDOORS. This way, he won’t run into any danger while trying to avoid strangers. Committing to having a fully indoor cat is a big responsibility. An enclosed catio, attached to a window or door, would be wonderful. This way, he can still feel the breeze and have some time outside, safely. But if a catio isn’t possible he could still live a fulfilled and safe life fully indoors.

⭐️OTHER PETS: It’s best if there are no other pets that could prove to be challenges in the home so that he can be the lovely and loyal companion we know he would become. Just George and his chosen human(s) who are home a lot to keep him company, and vice versa.

📣UPDATE: 🎥 🍿🐭Mouse-Movie night for #WillowsAUSTIN who was adopted 3 weeks ago and is now home-cinema buddies with existing kitty and new big ‘brother’ LUDO (was #WillowsHENRY in 2022). ADOPTED 22 January: https://www.facebook.com/share/1DtYTHajUu/?mibextid=WC7FNe

💛💛READY for ADOPTION💛💛 #WillowsPEARL is a bit of a sensitive soul. She’s looking for a quiet, tranquil, understanding, and patient home with no other pets and no young children now or to come. Sensitive with loud noises, fast movement, or unexpected strokes. She’s been in foster care with Louise and family since arriving in November after running into someone’s home and giving birth in their wardrobe. Two of her kittens Miss #WillowsSugarPlum and Miss #WilowsFiggyPudding were adopted together and officially the last paws out of the Willows doors in 2024. And their brother #WillowsPARSNIP wasn’t long behind them in early January. Pearl is neutered now so no more stressful pregnancies and giving birth. She’s showing her playful side too. Favourite game of the week is running after rolled up balls of paper. She picks them up and brings them back to you to throw again for her. She needs a 💛FULLY INDOOR home. One or two patient 💛GENTLE HUMANS with a 💛QUIET HOME not hustle-bustle. And she will need 💛PATIENCE & TIME to settle in. ❤️❤️Thinking of adopting form Willows? ❤️❤️ Send a private message with your name, address and contact number and a bit about your family and home and life circumstances and a volunteer can call you for a chat.

💕READY for ADOPTION💕 When not counting coins donated by kind followers, #WillowsISLA likes to roll around in the tunnel playing with feathers-on-a-stick. Tabbyliscous Isla was living in a kind finders porch for months in the Winter after another feeder moved house … until we had a space to bring her in early January. We’re not sure how old she is… maybe 5 or up to 8 years as a rough guess by teeth but it’s only a guess. She’s very sweet, affectionate and friendly and loves strokes and human company, but doesn’t like other cats so will be needing a home of her own with no other pets so she can be the only apple of her new human’s eye.

#WillowsHERBERT is 💙Awaiting Adoption 💙 and so wanted to say “hi” and let you know he’s a big, gentle, cuddly boy. Sweet and calm he loves snuggling up beside you and loves his snake toy. Handsome Herbert is confident; not too phased by much. A black & white delight and about 6-7 years young. He used to go outside in his previous home. So once settled and fully used to a new home (4 weeks at least) then he would like access to outdoors during the daytime, ensuring he is safely tucked up indoors at tea-time onwards. He may bring home gifts 🐭. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

🎉🥳 Happy New Year one and all… and say hello to the first little paws through the Willows doors in 2025. #WillowsAwberry & #WillowsAustin

#WillowsBARKER & #WillowsBENJAMIN love unboxing kind donations, and hearing about how ex-Willows kitties are getting on. So this delivery and greeting card from🐱Miki & 🐱Bodhi was just purrrrrfect. Paw waves to Miki & Bodhi and their humans Lesley & Pierre. ❤️ 🐱 ❤️ 🐱 ❤️ 🐱 ❤️ 🐱 ❤️ 🐱 ❤️ 🐱

#WillowsBAMBI would like to thank loyal supPAWters Irene & Peter and ex-Willows kitties 🐱Holly & 🐱Florence for their BRICK FUND donation. Put your feet up and get well soon Irene. Health and happiness to you, Peter and the kitties in 2025.

Our new cover boy is #WillowsGeorge who is all recovered from last week’s neuter and he is starting to show his loving and playful side. He spent the first two weeks at the shelter closed-off and hissing and even the occasional growl; worried and not understanding what’s happening to him. New place, new faces, new smells it can be overwhelming. But at least he has a warm blanket, good food, and kind volunteers making sure his temporary kitty apartment is cosy and clean. The Vet thinks he might be about 7 years old. Impossible to know for sure, if only he could tell us. Neutered and chipped now. So no more impregnating the local unutered queen population adding to the cat crisis. No looking back now gorgeous George, hopefully a forever home for you in early 2025.

‼️New RESCUE and a FOSTER appeal‼️ We need a couple more Fosterer’s to help with OTHER CATS (so Maria can concentrate on nursing this new urgent case of poorly mammy and hand-rearing babies). Details of fostering OTHER CATS at the bottom of this post. ———————————————- Just when you think kitten season is all but done in comes a call during yesterday’s matching meeting about a mammycat and her four x 3 1/2 week olds. Mammycat is suffering with a chronic case of diarrhoea. We took her straight to see the lovely Vet who diagnosed Giardiasis. Giardia is a single-celled organism that can live in the intestines of cats (and other animals, including dogs and humans) and cause severe gastrointestinal disease. It is spread by fecal-contaminated water, food, or soil. Giardia has caused this mammycat to have a lot of severe, watery diarrhea. Decreased energy due to decreased appetite and/or dehydration through the excessive diarrhoea. Without intervention she would continue to be very very poorly. This mammycat also has an extremely irritated perianal region and with excessive grooming to try keep clean she has a lot of fur loss. Her desperate grooming will have unfortunately been a source of continual reinfection. Mammycat now has meds to take, fresh chicken and special Gastro food to give her gut a rest, and we’re giving her a little rest from taking care of her kittens. That means hand-feeding 4 kittens with kitten formula milk every 4 hours, and hand-toileting; mimicking the licking action a mammycat would make to help her babies go to the toilet. We’ve had to have a little shuffle as we didn’t have any room but knew we had to help immediately when the call came in. #WillowsJEFFREY #WillowsJEMIMA #WillowsJONAH #WillowsDOVE #WillowsDOTTIE ‼️HELP - FOSTERS NEEDED‼️ If anyone is interesting in fostering (NOT THIS PARTICULAR CASE but OTHER CATS so Maria can concentrate on the above case) then r
