Adoption

Interested in adopting?

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

If you would like to enquire about any of our cats please fill out our adoption enquiry form and someone will be in touch with you for a chat. Please keep in mind that we are run entirely by volunteers who do this around full time jobs and families, but we will try to get back to you as quickly as possible.

JAX

  • Male
  • Approx 2 years old
  • Needs Outdoor Access

Heyyyy, Jax here and I like to shout you if you’re not paying attention to me! I came to Pawprints when my owners left me behind 🙁 I was living out on my own for ages and I wasn’t very trusting of folk when I arrived here but the volunteers have helped me see that not all hoomans are bad and when I feel comfortable with you I want all the fusses! I’m still a bit guarded, I like you to earn my trust but once I grant you it then you’re officially mine forever! I’ve been learning how to play too, I love it, it’s so much fun! I’d be best with a quieter home where I can come round at my own pace. Can you give me my happy purrever after? 🐾

TC

  • Female
  • 8 years old
  • Needs Outdoor Access

Hey, the names TC and I came from Pawprints back in 2015. I’ve had 8 years of love with my family but sadly circumstances mean I need to find a new home. I’m a loving and affectionate cat. I can be a bit shy until I get to know you but once I’m comfortable around you I love nothing more than sitting on your knee for strokes and cuddles. Can you help me find my furever home? Get in touch to arrange to meet me 🐾

COLE

  • Male
  • Approx 2 years old
  • Needs Outdoor Access

Hi, the names Cole. I came to Pawprints when my owner passed away. I like to get to know you a bit before I feel comfy but once I’ve apurroved you I’m happy. I love to play, the pic is my best game face! I do need to be able to play out in my furever home. I’d feel better with a hooman who has had cats before and no tiny hoomans as I can play a little rough at times. I’m very cute though and would make a great house panther! So what are you waiting for, adopt me 🐾

MISH MISH

  • Female

Hey, I’m Mish Mish and I came to Pawprints when my hoomans could no longer care for me. I’m a friendly girl who likes strokes once I get to know you. I love to play too! I do have a little bit of diva in me at times so a home who understands is cats would suit me purrfectly. If you’d like to meet me, purrlease get in touch for a chat 🐾

ELVIS (RESERVED) 

  • Male

Hey, the name’s Elvis and I came to Pawprints because my humans had to move suddenly and couldn’t take me with them. I got looked after by a kind lady who got me help from Pawprints. I’m a friendly boy who lurrves my food! I’d like a home where I can play out eventually. I’m an easy going lad who just wants my chance of a furever home purrlease! 🐾

MOCHI

  • Male
  • Approx 2 years old

Hiiiii, I’m Mochi and I came to Pawprints when my humans left me behind 🙁 It was a bit scary and I ended up with a few war wounds but I’m all healed now after my TLC here and really want my furever place to call home. The volunteers say I’m very sweet and easy going. I love fusses too! I’d say, I’m an all round purrfect cat! So what are you waiting for, purrlease take me home! 🐾

LARRY

*Special home needed*

  • Male
  • Approx 6 years old
  • Needs Outdoor Access

Hey hey, I’m Larry and I started visiting my foster mum from Pawprints 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 & help me get my silly itching better I’ll be your loyal boy furever 🐾

*Special home/s needed*

CHARLOTTE, ARCHIE, LILI AND LOUIS

We are the ‘Furmouse 4’. We used to be the ‘Furmouse 5’ but we sadly lost our brother George a few months ago 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 early last year 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 & 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 as the volunteers said we may need to go in pairs and have decided that Charlotte and Archie would stay together and Lili and Louis. Of course if anyone wanted us all this could be arranged! We will need a quiet home with someone who has experience of us shy cats. Can you offer us a chance? Please fill in a form for a chat with the hoomans about us if you can 🐾

MINNIE

  • Female
  • Approx 1 year old
  • Needs outdoor access

Hiya, I’m Minnie and I came to Pawprints when a kind man spotted me being chased by boy cats. He did some digging and found out my human had left me behind so helped me come here so I can find my furever home. I’m a friendly girl with a touch of sass, the volunteers say it’s the naughty tortie in me. I only grumble if they try to take me to the place that shall not be named in one of those brim brim things! I’ve been learning how to place and am really mastering it now! This photo does not do my true beauty justice but I’m far too busy to keep posing for pictures so you shall have to come meet me instead! 🐾

ISAAC

*SPECIAL HOME NEEDED*

  • Male
  • Approx 6 years old
  • Needs Outdoor Access – catio or cat fenced garden eye-deal!

Heyyyy, the name’s Isaac or as my vet nurse friends nicknamed me, One Eyed Willie! The kind people at Pawprints were sent pics of me with my poorly eyes and rushed me into the vets. Sadly my right one was so bad they had to do emergency surgery to take it out 🙁 I’m all healed now and am getting used to life with one eye. My other eye did have a bit of damage but I can still see from it, phew! As the volunteers can’t be sure exactly how much sight I have they are a little worried I will be at risk in the big wide world but they know how much I like hanging out in the catio on my pen so don’t want to take the outdoors away from me completely.They said that a house with a catio or cat fenced garden would be purrfect but know it’s a big ask so we could think about a high fenced garden in a super safe area also. I’m a friendly boy who loves attention and I love me a good lap to sit on too! I had a tough life on the streets before coming here so just need a warm cosy home with people who will love me furever 🐾

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) and we will be informed by our vets when this has taken place.

Adoption Process

We are unable to home cats to anyone living on or very near to a main road or railway line, this is for their own safety. All cats 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 you or your decor! We are there simply to check that everything is OK, that you don’t live on a main road and that you know everything you need to know to get your cat settled in.

We will ask for your address 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.

Adoption Fees

All cats adopted from Pawprints Cat Rescue 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. The adoption fee is to cover part of the cost. This basic care alone will cost us upwards of £150 and that’s before we add in costs of food, litter and any additional vet care. We ask for an adoption fee of £80 for our cats, which is just a fraction of what we have paid out. This enables us to carry on our work of rescuing unwanted and abandoned cats.
