Interested in adopting?

Visiting the cats is by APPOINTMENT ONLY once we have processed your adoption enquiry.

Heyyy, i’m Koda aka Baby Oliver cause my foster pawrents said I’m just a baby! I came to Pawprints after my owner could no longer care for me.

Hello, the names Ember and I came to Pawprints as I was thrown out by my hoomans with my babies. A kind neighbour got me safe and Pawprints have looked after us. We are all now ready to get our furever homes. My foster meowmy says I have a lovely friendly nature, enjoy playing and cuddles. They say I’ve been a great mummy! I’m going to let my kits introduce themselves below. I’d love a home of my own with plenty of fusses or could go with my babies if you were looking for a terrific trio!

Ash and Ruby here. We are a bit shy because of our start in lie but our foster meowmy says we are gorgeous and come round once we get to know you. We need someone who’s had cats before who can be patient with us until we find our paws. We love to play and would love a home together pretty purrlease!

We are all spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and looking for our furever

DUTCHY

• Male
• Middle age
• Shy but sweet!

Hey, the name’s Dutchy. I came to Pawprints after I was struggling to survive on the streets and rescued by a kind lady. She helped care for me until Pawprints could help. I’ve had a tough old time, bad cat flu, a dental and then a busy abscess behind my poorly eye but I’m finally feeling good and enjoying fusses from the volunteers. It took me a good while to trust these hoomans again after my past but the say I’m the most loving boy now who will rub myself all over your legs. I can still be weary at times and hiss if I feel scared so I will need someone who understands cats like me but if you give me the chance I will be your loyal companion. I would lovely a warm home as soon as possible as these cold months aren’t great for me. Get in touch if you can find a space in your heart for me

LARRY

• Male
• Approx 7 years old
• Needs Outdoor Access or a Catio
• Special needs – allergies
• Random sleep spot expert!

Hey hey, I’m Larry and I started visiting my foster mum a few months ago now. I learned to trust her and she let me sleep in the warm and fed me up. I’m a bit of a special case as unfortunately I’ve been having problems with my itchy skin! Its been quite a journey and my foster mum is still trying to help me but she said I need to be in a home as an only cat or one with another allergy cat where they can help me get to the bottom of it (with Pawprints’ support) as there are another 6 cats here and I always find their food no matter where she hides it, oops! She says I’m a quirky character and am forever finding random places to sleep! I like me some catnip and a play too. I’m pretty independent, I like some fusses but also just like to be able to do my own thing. If you have the time and patience to let me get to know you and help me get my silly itching better I’ll be your loyal boy furever

*Special home/s needed*

CHARLOTTE, ARCHIE, LILI AND LOUIS

• Male and Female
• Siblings
• Approx 3 years old
• Shy but sweet with lots of purrtential!

We are the ‘Furmouse 4’. We used to be the ‘Furmouse 5’ but we sadly lost our brother George when he and Charlotte got poorly. Charlotte was very lucky she managed to fight the virus with the help of the vets and after lots of waiting we have been able to live together again. We came to Pawprints after being born outside, we were very timid and the rescue have been working hard to build our trust. Charlotte and Archie are the most confident and both love fusses once we get to know you, Lili and Louis are still very shy but we will let you stroke us and relax more after someone spends time with us. The volunteers would love us to find our furever home/s now and continue to grow our confidence. We’ve had a catsultation and the volunteers said we may need to go in pairs which we would be OK with if we had to. Of course if anyone wanted us all a special deal could be arranged! We will need a quiet home with someone who has experience of us very shy cats. Please fill in a form for a chat with the hoomans about us if you can offer us the patient loving home we need

REUBEN 

• Male
• Approx 1 year old
• Needs outdoor access or catio
• Crazy but cute! 

Hey, Reuben here! I came to Pawprints after I got myself into a bit of trouble and a kind lady rescued me from a petrol station! I was so scared when I was found but I’m now showing everyone my cheeky self! I love to play and have lots of energy! The volunteers say I am a bit of a project as they think I left my mum early so haven’t learned my boundaries properly yet. They think a confident cat could teach me or hooman who can handle a character! I’m ready and waiting for my furever home purrettty purrlease!

TOBY TOEBEANS

• Male
• 7-8 years old
• Shy but sweet special gent
• Needs outdoor access or a Catio

Hello, I’m Toby aka Toby Toebeans and I came to Pawprints when my dad passed away. I fled the house when it happened and the volunteers helped to get me safe. I was very bonded to my dad and have been used to a quiet home so it has taken the volunteers a long time for me to trust them. I haven’t let them touch me until the last few months when I let my chicken friend have fusses who I know well (she got so excited, I’m not sure what all the fuss was about!) and will now let other chicken friends do it too! I will also do my chicken dance if you’re lucky! The volunteers say I need a special person who will give me all the time I need to bond with them. I like to sit at your feet like I did with my dad. It will take some time but I will get there. If you put your trust in me I will be the loyalist gentleman. Could you be my special someone?

PIXEL

• Male
• Approx 2 years old
• Friendly chap!

Hey hey, the names Pixel and I came to Pawprints after being rescued after I was living outside on my own. I’m a friendly boy, like a fuss but can get a little excited if I get lots of fuss so I need a hooman who has had a cat before. I’m a easy going fella who loves me some treats, catnip and a cosy bed! I’m almost finished with my vaccinations so will be ready for my furever home any day now so purrlease get in touch if you would like to meet me

SEEN ANYONE YOU LIKE? PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH US VIA OUR ADOPTION ENQUIRY FORM AND SOMEONE WILL BE IN TOUCH SHORTLY TO ARRANGE A VISIT TO MEET OUR RESIDENTS. FURTHER ADOPTION PROCESS DETAILS CAN BE FOUND BELOW. 

KITTENS

We are a rescue that mainly focuses on adult cats. However, sometimes we do have kittens looking for homes which will be stated on this page. We only home kittens once they've reached the age of 12 weeks and we never home a kitten under the age of 8 weeks as it goes against the animal welfare act, kittens are far too young to be away from their mother at such an age. When adopting a kitten from Pawprints you enter into an agreement that the kitten will be neutered/spayed when it is old enough (usually around 4-6 months or when it has reached 2kg) if not done already and we will be informed by our vets when this has taken place.

Adoption Fee

We ask for an adoption fee of £100 for our cats. The adoption fee goes towards the cat’s costs. The basic care alone for each cat cost us upwards of £150 and that’s before we add in their food, litter and any additional vet care such as dentals or medical treatment needed. This enables us to carry on our work of rescuing unwanted and abandoned cats.

All cats adopted from us come with 5 weeks free insurance from Agria Pet Insurance and have been health checked by a vet, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and have received treatment for fleas, ticks and worms.

Adoption Process

All potential adopters are home checked (not as scary as it sounds we promise!). We appreciate that not everyone likes the idea of a home check, however, we are responsible for the welfare of the cats in our care and it would be irresponsible of us to let them go without knowing where they are going. We are not there to judge your decor, we are simply there to check that everything is OK and safe for them and that you know everything you need to know to get your cat settled in.

We will address check initially so we can look up your home to make sure it is in a suitable location. If we believe it to be unsuitable, we will contact you to let you know. All final decisions are made by the rescue owner. A home check will be performed when we drop off the cat you would like to adopt to you, if everything is OK we will ask you to fill out an adoption form that signs the cat over to you. Up until this point we do have the right not to hand the cat over to you, however this only happens in very exceptional circumstances when we believe there is a risk to the cat/kitten and is very rare.

We are unable to home outdoor cats to anyone living on or very near to a main/busy road, railway line or water way. We understand that some cats are more savvy than others and if we have a suitable cat we will suggest them but in the main the cats we take on don’t have a history so this decision is for their own safety. We do welcome applications for any of our cats from those with catios or cat fenced gardens such as protectapet or other variations as our main priority after all our cats have been through is ensuring our cats are safe. We would forward to hearing from you.
