KWASI

Tabby and white cat, Kwasi, is looking for a happy retirement home.

This gorgeous, 13-year-old lady was first rescued by her family as a youngster. However, following the introduction of a lively therapy dog into her home three years’ ago and three home moves, Kwasi became increasingly stressed, leading to her hiding away and over-grooming her coat. Sad to see her unhappy, her family contacted HFC to ask for help to re-home her.

Kwasi moved into HFC foster care in Cranleigh in early December, where she has settled in well. She enjoys the company of her Foster Carer and is a very “young and active” senior! Her ideal retirement home will be with adults and where she can enjoy being an only pet.

Kwasi had previously been neutered and microchipped and we have arranged for her to be brought up-to-date with vaccinations and to receive a dental. Having had one bad tooth removed, she is now ready to start retirement with a dazzling new smile!

As Kwasi is over 12 years’ old, she is a member of the HFC Golden Oldies Club. This means that there is no fee applicable to her adoption and, by arrangement, HFC is able to support her adopter(s) with unforeseen vet costs that will support her wellbeing in retirement.

If you would like to offer Kwasi a happy retirement home that has safe outside space for her to enjoy in the good weather, please complete our application form below. Thank you.

Once she has built trust, Blossom is a very affectionate girl!😍

BLOSSOM

Blossom, who is tabby and estimated to be just one year and seven months’ old, has been referred into HFC care from another charity. This pretty young girl had been handed into the charity, along with another young female cat and some kittens and, sadly, very little is known about her.

Blossom has been taken into HFC foster care in Oxshott, where she has built a great friendship with her Foster Carer. She enjoys spending time sitting with her Carer (listening to podcasts!) and has become very affectionate with her. She also likes to watch activities around the bird feeder in her garden from her window and for playtimes that include string and cork!

However, Blossom is very nervous around new people, first “freezing” and then running to her favourite hiding place when there are visitors to her foster home. Therefore, we think Blossom would be happiest to be re-homed to a very quiet home, perhaps with a single person who does not have too many visitors and is willing to offer her lots of time and space to re-build her confidence. It is important for Blossom’s progress that she is an only pet and that she will have access to safe, outside space when she is ready. Whilst Blossom enjoys the company of her Carer, she is content to spend time alone, so we are happy to receive applications from people who spend a few hours working away from home.

Blossom, has been health checked, spayed, microchipped and has received both vaccinations. She is now ready to meet potential adopters who are happy to allow her a little time to come and say hello!

If you would like to offer Blossom a quiet home where she will be able to re-build her confidence, we would love to hear from you. Please complete our application form below. Thank you.

RE-HOMED!

A NEW FOSTER HOME FOR PRINCESS

Pretty, tabby & white girl, Princess, who is 1 year, 7 months’ old, is looking for a new home.

Given to her owner by a neighbour, the youngster, who had not been spayed, soon became pregnant. Struggling with his health and finances, her owner, who had been finding it increasingly difficult to care for Princess, and now also a new kitten, asked HFC for support.

Princess has just moved to a new foster home and is now available to meet in East Sheen. She can be a little cautious, watching the world go by from high up hiding places and from her window. However, she is affectionate and playful, and before her lively kitten found his forever home last week, she would often play with him.

Understandably, Princess will need a little time to adjust to a new environment. We think she would like her forever home to be with adults and where she can enjoy being an only pet.

To prepare her to find her forever home, we have arranged for Princess to be spayed, microchipped and to receive a first vaccination.

If you would like to offer our little Princess a happy home that has safe outside space and you plan to spend a quiet Christmas at home, please get in touch by completing our application form below. Thank you.

BETTY LOU

Betty Lou, who is female, grey and white and 12 weeks’ old, is looking for a forever home.

This delightful young kitten was taken home by her finder, along with her mum and two brothers, from an area where there were a number of cats and kittens being inadequately cared for. Her finder then found herself struggling to feed and care for all the cats and kittens she had taken in alongside her three children.

Betty Lou is now being cared for in foster care in Camberley. She has, so far, been a little shy around people, but is starting to become bolder, coming out to meet her Carers and purring loudly when she is stroked. She loves cuddling up with her mum, Socks, but also rough and tumble play with her brothers, especially over a toy mouse!

Betty Lou would like her forever home to be quiet with safe, outside space. She has potential to either live with adults or alongside a family with calm and respectful children, aged 10+. With a careful introduction, Betty Lou has potential to live with a very friendly kitten of a similar age, however, she has had no experience of dogs whilst in our care.

Here For Cats has arranged for Betty Lou to be spayed, microchipped and to receive a first vaccination and she is now ready to find her forever home.

If you would like to offer a forever home to Betty Lou and you will be spending a quiet Christmas at home so that you can settle her in, please let us know by completing our application form below. Thank you.

RE-HOMED!

COULD YOU OFFER A FOREVER HOME TO FRIENDLY SONNY?

We are still looking for a forever home for friendly Sonny, our first cat to be advertised for re-homing this month.

This gorgeous, black and white boy, who is now 1 year, 8 months' old, had an unlucky start in life. He was found outside, curled up in a ball, by a member of the public. Fearing that he had been hit by a car, they whisked him to a Vet to be checked.

Examination by the Vet suggested that whilst Sonny had not sustained physical injuries, he was unneutered and very frightened. Upon follow up of his microchip information, Sonny’s owner advised that the young cat had become increasingly frightened of their young child and that he had been anxiously spraying inside the home. Suggesting that Sonny had escaped the house and feeling unable to cope, the owner signed him over for re-homing.

In order to prepare Sonny to find a loving home, we have arranged for him to be neutered, receive a re-start of his vaccinations and preventative flea and worm treatment.

Since arriving at our cattery space on the Surrey/Hampshire border, Sonny has grown in confidence and he is now very content to allow our Carers to give him a fuss. Since being neutered, he no longer sprays and a very cheeky character is starting to emerge! Not really keen on his comfy blanket, Sonny has been kicking this out of his bed and sometimes even dips it in his water bowl!

To secure Sonny’s long-term happiness, we are looking for a quiet, adult home for him where he will be allowed freedom and to enjoy being an only pet. He would like regular access to a safe garden once settled.

Sonny would love to meet potential adopters at his current home at the cattery this Christmas. If you will be spending a quiet Christmas at home and would like to offer him a forever home that has a garden, please complete our application form below. Thank you.

SOCKS

Socks, who is female, black and white and 3 years’ old, is looking for her forever home.

This petite, young mum was taken home by her finder, along with her three young kittens, from an area where there were a number of cats and kittens being inadequately cared for. Her finder then found herself struggling to feed and care for all the cats and kittens she had taken in, alongside her own three children.

Socks is now being cared for in HFC foster care in Camberley. She is very sweet-natured but, so far, has been a little timid. However, she is now happy to approach her Carer, to sit on her knee and accept a fuss.

Socks would like to find a quiet home. She has potential to either live with adults or alongside a family with calm and respectful children, aged 10+. Whilst in our care, she has had no experience of external cats or dogs.

Here For Cats has arranged for Socks to be spayed, microchipped and to receive a first vaccination and she is now ready to find her forever home.

If you would like to adopt sweet-natured Socks and you will be spending a quiet Christmas at home so that you can settle her in, please let us know by completing our application form below. Thank you.

PATCH

Patch, who is male, black and white and 1 year, 3 months’ old, is looking for a new home.

This friendly young cat was taken by his finder from an area where there were a number of cats and kittens being inadequately cared for. She then found herself struggling to feed and care for all the cats and kittens she had taken in alongside her three children.

Patch is now being cared for at our cattery space on the Surrey/Hampshire border, where he has settled in nicely. He is very friendly towards his Carers, enjoying a fuss and happily chatting to them when they visit him.

Patch has potential to either live with adults or alongside a family with very respectful children, aged 5+. With a careful introduction, he could live alongside another friendly cat of a similar age. However, he has had no experience with dogs.

Since arriving into our care, we have arranged for Patch to be neutered, microchipped and to receive a first vaccination and he is now ready to find his forever home.

If you would like to adopt friendly Patch and you will be spending a quiet Christmas at home so that you can settle him in, please let us know by completing our application form below. Thank you.

LOGAN

Logan, who is large, male, black and white and 12 years’, 10 months’ old, is looking for a happy retirement home.

Bought as an eight-week-old kitten, Logan lived with his owner and her husband in a home with access to a large garden for 10 years. 18 months’ ago, the owner separated from her husband and Logan temporarily went to live with a retired lady. Logan adored his temporary carer and followed her everywhere, but she was sadly unable to look after him long term. 11 months’ ago, Logan moved in with his original owner and her new partner to a one bedroom, second floor flat, where he became stressed and found it difficult to settle, resorting to hiding under a radiator every day until his owner returned home from work. Concerned that Logan had become so unhappy in his indoor environment, his owner contacted HFC to ask for support.

Logan is now staying in HFC foster care in Fleet. Initially a little shy, he has quickly become a very loving and affectionate lap cat, loving to spend time with his Foster Carer.

Sociable Logan is looking for an adult home with owners who spend the majority of their time at home and where he can enjoy being an only pet. It is important to him to be able to spend time outside and he is looking for a home where he will have access to safe, outside space in an area with a low cat population.

Logan, who has previously been neutered and microchipped, is scheduled to receive his second vaccinations shortly and will be ready to meet potential adopters from Wednesday 18 December.

If you think Logan would make you the ideal companion and you will be spending a quiet Christmas at home so you can settle him in, please complete our application form below. Thank you.

Friendly Thumper loves to play with a fishing rod toy! 😍

RE-HOMED!

THUMPER

Thumper, who is 15 weeks’ old and Bengal cross, is looking for a new home.

His mum, Princess, was given to his owner by a neighbour and she became pregnant with him soon after. Struggling with his health and finances, Princess and Thumper’s owner, who was finding it increasingly difficult to care for both mum and kitten, asked HFC for support.

Initially shy at first, Thumper has his own “hidey” spot in his foster home, but he readily comes out to greet his Carers. He likes to sit on their laps (often in very peculiar positions!), always purring.

Thumper is very playful and loves to play with Princess and most toys. He most likes a fishing rod toy and his Carer’s dressing gown cord. He has lots of energy and is looking for a home with adopters who will enjoy spending regular time playing with him.

This young kitten loves his food and has been known to cheekily tuck into Princess’ food when her back is turned!

Thumper has potential to either live with adults or alongside a family with respectful children, aged 8+. He has potential to live with a friendly cat of a very similar age and high energy level, but he has no known experience with dogs. Due to his breed, Thumper is looking for a home that has lots of safe outside space to explore.

To prepare him to find a forever home, we have arranged for Thumper to be neutered, microchipped and to receive a first vaccination.

If you would like to offer cheeky Thumper a happy home that has safe outside space and you plan to spend a quiet Christmas at home, please get in touch by completing our application form below. Thank you.

TAWNEY IS ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY

Tawney, who is ginger and white and estimated to be eight years’ old, came into HFC care last month after we received an urgent request for help from his care givers who had been feeding him in their garden for some time.

Tawney was dehydrated, skinny, had dirty, ripped ears and his few remaining teeth were broken and infected. His fur was unkempt, greasy and his tail was covered in secretions typical of an unneutered cat. We rushed Tawney to see our Shelter Vet, where he was first neutered and given a dental, fluids and medication. He was also checked for FIV and a microchip. Luckily, his test result for FIV was negative, but he had sadly not been microchipped.

Since arriving into foster care, Tawney, who is believed to be deaf and partially sighted, has been receiving lots of TLC and a special, high nutrition and calorie diet to help him to increase his weight. He enjoys human company, loudly meowing to greet his Carers and to note activities of interest in the world now safely outside his window! He is loving having regular meals served to him and is very affectionate. His carers affectionately describe Tawney as a "loving, grumbly teddy bear"!

We are delighted to report that Tawney is now well enough to be re-homed. If you would be interested in offering this lovely boy an adult home with very safe outside space, please complete our application form and we will contact you to discuss further.

https://www.hereforcats.org/adoption-process

If Tawney had received our help sooner, it is likely that he would have suffered less with fight injuries and been better able to maintain his health. The wellbeing of a cat living outdoors can be significantly improved by them being neutered and vaccinated and returned to their outdoor home until a foster or cattery space can be found for them.

If you ever become concerned about the welfare of a cat living outdoors, please don’t delay in asking for help and advice from a charity to prevent their need for care becoming urgent. Thank you.

PRINCESS

Tabby & white Princess, who is female and 1 year, 7 months’ old, is looking for a new home.

Given to her owner by a neighbour, the pretty youngster, who had not been spayed, soon became pregnant. Struggling with his health and finances, her owner, who had been finding it increasingly difficult to care for Princess, and now also a new kitten, asked HFC for support.

Princess, who is now being cared for in Woking, has been very shy since arriving into foster care two weeks’ ago. She most likes to spend time alone, watching the world go by from high up hiding places and from her window. So far, she has been a little reluctant to interact with her Carers and she is likely to need time to adjust to a new environment. Therefore, we think Princess would like her forever home to be with adults and where she can enjoy being an only pet.

Princess is playful and she will often play with her kitten. However, he has higher energy levels than she has which can lead to playtime becoming a little rough and she then tires of playing with him.

To prepare her to find her forever home, we have arranged for Princess to be spayed, microchipped and to receive a first vaccination.

If you would like to offer our shy, little Princess a happy home that has safe outside space and you plan to spend a quiet Christmas at home, please get in touch by completing our application form below. Thank you.

Princess enjoys a fuss from her Carers.😍

RE-HOMED!

CHICO

Chico, who is male, grey and white and 1 year, 4 months’ old, is still patiently waiting to find his forever home.

Intended as a playmate for his family’s youngest child, Chico was bought to live in a small flat where there were already two resident cats. Without any indoor space to call his own or access to a garden, Chico soon became frustrated by his environment and stopped getting along with the two other cats. For the welfare of all the cats, a decision was made to seek a new home for Chico.

Chico has come to stay in HFC foster care in Surbiton where he seems very content. When he is not watching the world go by from his window, affectionate Chico likes to spend time with his Carer, enjoying being made a fuss of, “making biscuits” and pretending to be her shadow – even in the bathroom! Human company is important to Chico, who would like to find owners who spend most of their time at home.

Chico currently weighs a slightly chunky 5.5g. As he is “full of beans”, he is already starting to burn off calories through structured play times with his Carer, and we feel sure he will soon reach his target weight when he is also able to spend time outside.

Chico prefers to receive affection on his own terms and does sometimes play with his claws out, and therefore, he would be happiest for his forever home to be with adults or alongside a family with respectful children, aged 8+. Given his past experience, Chico would like to be an only pet.

Chico has previously been neutered and microchipped and HFC has arranged for a re-start of his vaccinations and an update to his flea and worming treatment.

If you would like to offer a happy new home with safe outside space to our cheeky Chico, please let us know by completing our application form below. Thank you.

RE-HOMED!

MUFFIN & MINNIE

We are still looking for a loving home(s) for our gorgeous, tabby and white, mum and daughter, Muffin & Minnie. This friendly pair get on very well and they would, ideally, like to find a home together, but we are open to receiving applications to re-home them individually.

2 year, 1-month-old Muffin and her 13-week-old kitten, Minnie, had been living stray in North Surrey, regularly returning to the same garden to seek food. Feeling worried for the pretty, tabby and white pair, the homeowner took them into her home to care for them and sought help from HFC.

With our support, their new care giver set about trying to find Muffin and Minnie’s owner by having them checked by a vet for a microchip and advertising them online and in the local area. Sadly, the pair had not been microchipped and an owner was not found, so we took Muffin and Minnie into the care of our cattery space on the Surrey/Hampshire border as soon as a space became available.

Muffin and Minnie, who are very affectionate, have settled well into the cattery where they play and cuddle up together. Muffin remains protective of Minnie, watching intently whenever her kitten is approached. Minnie, a typical playful kitten, has a very special skill to speedily walk backwards without bumping into things!

If Muffin and Minnie are re-homed as a pair, potential adopters should be aware that some mums tire of looking out for their bouncy kittens over time, so they would need a home large enough for them to have their own, separate allocated places for food, water and litter trays once they are ready to progress from their settling in room.

Muffin and Minnie have potential to either live alongside adults or a family with respectful children, aged 6+.

Whilst in our care, we have arranged for Muffin and Minnie to be spayed, microchipped and receive both vaccinations, flea and worm treatment and they are now ready to find their forever home(s).

If you would like to offer a forever home to Muffin and/or Minnie, we would love to hear from you. Please complete our application form below to register your interest. Thank you.
