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 be aware that we are run entirely by volunteers who do this around their jobs and families, but we will get back to you as quickly as we can.

MEET OUR RESIDENTS

 

ARCHIE, OLLIE AND JERRY

Archie

Ollie

Jerry

  • Brothers
  • 4 months old
  • Handsome boys

Hello, we are Archie, Ollie and Jerry and our mummy had us and our two siblings in the rescue after being rescued off the streets with our older siblings, she has been the best meowmy and made us all big and strong! One of the volunteers jokes that Archie and Ollie are like a jigsaw, their faces fit together to make one purrfect kitten! We are lovely playful friendly boys who would make the purrfect addition to your home/s!

BARNEY 

  • Male
  • Approx 3 years old
  • Friendly fella
  • Needs Outdoor Access

Hey hey, the name’s Barney and I came into to rescue with Sonny when we were left behind by our owners. I’m a friendly boy who likes fusses and my food, especially chicken! I came in with Sonny who the rescue aren’t sure if he is my sibling or son. We aren’t super close so we could purrtentially go to a home on our own or together. The volunteers said we could go together as long as there was enough attention to go around but if not, we are better on our own. The vetty people did say I may have a low grade heart murmur, they aren’t concerned at the moment but they said I should tell people just so they know to keep an eye on it when I have my future vet checks. It doesn’t stop me being adorable though! Purrlease get in touch if you can offer me a home.

BLAZE

  • Male
  • Approx 4 months old
  • Friendly firecracker! 

Hey, the names Blaze and I came to Pawprints after a kind family found me living outside on my own. I’m super friendly and love to snuggle up to my foster meowmy but I’m also fast as lightening and am great at blazing around with all my ginger energy! There is never a dull moment when I’m around!

BUSTER

  • Male
  • Approx 2-3 years old
  • Charming fella! 
  • Needs outdoor access 

Hey hey, Buster’s the name, busting my nose into everything that’s going on is my game! I found myself visiting Pawprints in the winter when I had nowhere else to go, the kind volunteers fed me and gained my trust. They took me to the vetty people and took my pom poms then gave me some jabbies but they said that all means I can find my furever home now. My purrfect home would have a nice garden with someone who likes a bit of gardening or tinker about as I like to supurrvise. Once I’ve finished that important job and you go inside I then want to go with you so I can have a snack and a nice nap after all that hard work! Could you give me my purrfect home?

CHARLIE

  • Male
  • Approx 2 years old
  • Friendly, playful gentleman
  • Needs Outdoor Access

Eyup! I’m Charlie and I’m currently being looked after at my feeder’s house where I started to visit them as I had no home 🙁 They have helped me get healthy and have all my vetty stuff so I can hopefully find my furever home. The hoomans say I have a lovely temperament and have the sweetest meow they ever did hear! I love to play and explore in the garden. I’m also good with little people and other friendly cats, I have one who plays chase with me around the garden. My hoomans say I am a well behaved gentleman, I don’t scratch the furniture and use my tray like a good boy. I would make the purrfect addition to any home. It would be nice to have my furever home soon before the winter so I can get myself all settled and get all the home comforts too!

DOMINO AND PAISLEY 

  • Brother and Sister
  • Approx 5-6 months old
  • Shy but sweet!

Hello, Domino and Paisley here. We came to Pawprints after our mummy has us on the mean streets and some kind people rescued us. We are shy when we first meet you but once we get to know you we are a sweet friendly loving pair. Our foster mummy thinks we would be better in a quieter house with no litter ones just so we can feel comfy to be nice and brave and get to know you. Can you see our purrtential? We’d love our very own place to call home soon

DUTCHY

  • Male
  • Middle aged
  • 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 burst abscess behind my poorly eye but I’m all good now and enjoy fusses from the volunteers. It took me a good while to trust these hoomans again after my past but they 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 love 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!

GABBY

  • Female
  • Approx 7 months old
  • Friendly little lady
  • Needs Outdoor Access
Heyyyy, the names Gabby and I came to the rescue after my owner could no longer care for me. I’m a friendly girl who loves to have fusses. I love to play and have lots of energy but when I’m all worn out I like a nice warm lap to cuddle on. My foster pawrents say I’m the purrfect companion. Can you offer me my furever home?

ITCHY AND SCRATCHY

  • Brothers
  • Approx 5 months old
  • Shy but sweet

Hey, Itchy and Scratchy here. We came to Pawprints with our Meowmy after living in a car garage. We were looking pretty rough and full of fleas but we are now all healthy and ready to find a patient pawrent/s to give us our furever home. We are playful and good with other cats and the hoomans said another cat to help us settle and get braver could be purrfect. You will need to give us a little patience to get to know you but we will make the purrfect pair once we have!

MAMA CASS

  • Female
  • Approx 18 months old
  • Shy little lady

Hi, Mama Cass here. I found myself pregnant and alone, giving birth in a garden. Some kind people rescued me and my babies and brought us inside. My foster family said I have been a great mum despite only being a baby myself. They do say I’m a little bit of a project so I do need your time and patience. I will come to find my foster family when it’s feeding time and even lick yummy paste off their fingers but I take longer to let you stroke me and sometimes get scared and bat you! I’m slowly growing in confidence though. I enjoy playing on my own or with my kittens and I’m good with the other cats in the home too. My foster dad says I have the cutest tail shake when I get excited! I just need a chance to come around at my own pace. Are you the patient person I need?

OREO

  • Female
  • 8 months old
  • Gorgeous girly!

Hello! Oreo here! I came to Pawprints after my little hooman had allergies. My foster meowmy says I’m a sweet easy going little lady who loves to play and snuggle. I like to hang out with my housemates Itchy, Scratchy and Blaze, someone has to keep them inline! I’d make the purrfect addition to your home so what are you waiting for, adopt me!

PORTIA

  • Female
  • 5 months old
  • Gorgeous girly!

Hi, Portia here! I came to Pawprints after being saved by some kind people who found me living in a car engine. They took good care of me until a rescue could help. My foster meowmy says I’m a lovely easy kitten, I have been hanging out with the other kittens in my foster home with no problems. I’m a dab hand at fishing, always have to get those paws in the water bowl to test it first! I’d make the purrfect addition to any family! Get in touch if you want to meet me

REUBEN 

  • Male
  • Approx 18 months old
  • Needs safe 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! The volunteers aren’t sure if I got in a car or if someone left me there as I was so scared when I was found! I’m now showing everyone my VERY 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 a hooman who can handle a character! Once I get my own home and space to burn off all my energy the volunteers think I will be much better so purrlease come and rescue me soon!

SONNY

  • Male
  • Approx 2 years old
  • A little timid but friendly
  • Needs Outdoor Access

Hi, the name’s Sonny and I came into to rescue with Barney when we were left behind by our owners. I’m a bit timid to start with but once I know you I’m a friendly boy who likes a fuss and a good play. I came in with Barney who the rescue aren’t sure if he is my sibling or dad. We aren’t super close so we could purrtentially go to a home on our own or together The volunteers said we could go together as long as there was enough attention to go around for us both but if not, we are better on our own.  I’m all ready and waiting to be picked! Purrlease get in touch if you can offer me a home.

SPOT

  • Male
  • Approx 3 years old
  • Shy but super sweet!
  • Needs Outdoor Access

Hiya, Spot here. I came to Pawprints after a kind lady was looking after me as I was left living outside alone. It’s taken the volunteers some time to get me to trust again but I can confirm, I love hoomans again! Especially if they have chicken! I will even meow for my chicken, make sure they don’t forget about me on the dinner rounds! The volunteers say I’m a super sweet gent once I trust you, I love fusses but also happy to have some me time. I still don’t understand how to play very much, some of those toys are scary but I like my cardboard scratcher. Can you give me the love and chicken I need in a furever home? If so, I will be yours!

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 over 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 already done by us 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-£200 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 look forward to hearing from you.
