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

BAMSI

• Male
• Approx 5 years old
• Needs Outdoor Access
• Chin Rub Expert

Hi, I’m Bamsi, a handsome chap who’s around 5 years old. Life didn’t always go my way, I used to be a stray but those days are behind me now. Thanks to some lovely humans, I’m safe, healthy, and ready to find a family of my very own.

If you’re looking for a laid-back companion, I think we could be a perfect match. I’m a sweet, chilled-out boy who enjoys life’s little pleasures… chicken is definitely at the top of that list (who can blame me?), and I never say no to a bit of catnip either!

I’m also a friendly fellow and get on well with other cats, so I’d be happy to have a feline friend to hang out with.

I’ve had all my important jobs done too:
I’m neutered
I’m microchipped
I’m vaccinated

So all that’s missing is… you.

I may have started life on the streets, but I’m hoping my next chapter will be full of warm beds, gentle cuddles, tasty treats, and a family who’ll love me forever.

Could your home be the one I’ve been waiting for?

BARNEY AND SONNY

• Males
• Approx 3 years old
• Slappy chappies!
• Needs Outdoor Access

Hi hoomans! We’re Barney and Sonny who came to the rescue when we were left behind by our hoomans. The volunteers are not entirely sure if we’re brothers or if one’s the dad (our paperwork wasn’t exactly thorough), but we do know one thing…

We’re family… and we behave exactly like it.

I’m Barney. I’m the friendly one. I love fuss, I love people, and I like to think before I leap. Apparently I have “Disney eyes” that help me convince the humans to hand over treats.

And I’m Sonny. I’m in charge (According to me). Someone has to supervise things, inspect every food delivery and remind Barney who’s boss. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it. I’m also friendly with a touch of sass as needed!

We spend most days lazing around, sharing sunbeams and following the volunteers around…

…until one of us looks at the other the wrong way.

Then it’s Slappy Chappies™.

One minute we’re best mates, the next we’re exchanging a few well-placed paw baps before pretending nothing happened five minutes later.

It’s just sibling rules.

There is, however, one thing we both agree on… CHICKEN!

Forget who’s boss.
Forget personal space.
Forget manners.
If chicken appears, it’s every cat for himself.
No prisoners.
No regrets.

When we’re not busy supervising the humans, demanding snacks or having our daily disagreement over absolutely nothing, we’re dreaming of the furever home we really want to come our way. Could that be yours?

CINAMMON BUN

• Male
• 4.5 years old
• Needs to be the only cat
• Invader of personal space

Hello! I’m Cinnamon Bun… and while I’m definitely as sweet as my name, I’m not your average moggy!

It turns out I may have a little Bengal in my family tree, and suddenly a lot of things about me make sense! I’m clever, curious, full of energy and absolutely love being involved in whatever you’re doing. Personal space? That’s just a funny human idea! If you’re sitting down, there’s a good chance I’ll be on your lap, sniffing your hair, rubbing my face against yours and purring loud enough for everyone to hear.

I’m also a bit of a joker. One of my favourite hobbies is quietly relocating my foster mum’s slippers around the house. I call it interior design… she calls it hiding them!

Because I’m an intelligent lad, I need more than just a comfy bed (although I do love those too!). I’ll thrive in a home where my humans enjoy interactive play, enrichment and keeping my busy brain occupied. Puzzle toys, climbing opportunities and games with my favourite people are right up my street.

I’m looking for an adult-only home where my humans understand feline body language and appreciate cats with big personalities. I like affection, but I also like people to respect my boundaries. I’m not the right match for every home, but for someone who understands cats like me, I’ll make an incredibly loyal and entertaining companion.

I’ve always lived as an indoor cat, but now that we think I may have some Bengal in me, the rescue feels I may also enjoy safe outdoor enrichment. A secure catio, cat-proof garden or other safe outdoor space would be a wonderful bonus, although it’s not essential if my home offers lots of stimulation and play.

One little quirk… I like to wee standing up in my litter tray, so I just need a hooded litter tray to keep everything nice and tidy. We all have our little habits!

If you’re looking for an intelligent, affectionate, mischievous cat who’ll keep you smiling every single day, I might just be the Cinnamon Bun you’ve been waiting for.

Could we be the perfect match?

CLEO

• Female
• Approx 2 years old
• She’s raised six babies… now it’s Cleo’s turn to be someone’s baby!

MOLLY AND POLLY

• Females
• Sisters
• 2 years old
• Pretty Pair

Hello, we are Molly and Polly and we came to Pawprints when our hooman wasn’t able to keep us much to her heartbreak. We have been very loved and also love each other so need a home together. We have always been indoor cats, we lived in a busy area and our mum liked to keep us safe. I (Molly) am the confident one, my sister, Polly is a bit shy until she knows you but we are both friendly sweet ladies. We like all the usual cat things, toys, fusses, chicken! Purrlease give us the chance to find our furever home.

RUFUS

• Male
• Middle Aged
• Pawsitely FIV
• Street Cat to Lap Cat!
• Indoor Home or Catio/Catproofed Garden required

Hey, Rufus here. I found myself at Pawprints after spending a lot of time living on the streets with no one caring for me. I met a nice couple who saw me and my condition and at last, wanted to find me help. I wasn’t so sure of the hoomans here when I landed, they took me to the vetty people for de-matting, neutering and to sort my sore teethies so it was a lot to take in but I’ve now realise they are nice people and they bring me chicken and treats! I now talk to them to let them know I want some attention! The vetty people said I am something called FIV+ which sounds a bit scary but really isn’t, the volunteers can talk about it with you if you haven’t heard of it before and it just means I need a little more TLC. I have an old injury which gives me a bit of a wobbly swag that the vets think has turned into arthritis so the volunteers are helping me feel more comfortable. I just need someone to believe in me and give me the time to get to know them and bond with them and in return I will make you the loyalist companion. An indoor home or one that has a catio/cat proofed garden would be purrfect for me so I can keep my joints nice and warm and get me stronger. Purrlease get in touch if you can offer me my furever home.

TYREE

• Male
• Approx 9 years old
• Your cheeky, friendly neighbourhood cat!
• Needs Outdoor Access

Hello, I’m Tyree… but my friends call me Ty ❤️

I’m a friendly gentleman, around 9 years old, and I’m looking for a very special new home.

I didn’t expect to be looking for a new family. I already had one. My mum loved me very much, and I was lucky enough to have a wonderful home where I was cared for and cherished. Sadly, she has passed away, and now I need someone new to love me and give me the happy future I deserve.

I’m a friendly boy who enjoys the best of both worlds — I love having cosy home comforts, but I also enjoy getting out and about to explore. I’m quite the community cat and like to pop by to visit the neighbours, say hello, and sometimes sneak in a comfy sofa or bed snooze if I’m feeling cheeky!

I’m also a bit of a character… I do enjoy keeping the local dog entertained by strutting along the wall and reminding him who is really in charge!

I’ve lived happily with two female cats and a dog before, although I haven’t lived with any male cats. I’m looking for a calm, loving home where I can settle in, feel safe, and be myself.

I may be a little older, but I still have plenty of love to give. I’m hoping there is someone out there who understands that older cats have so much to offer — we’re already past the crazy kitten stage and ready to be your loyal companion, your sofa buddy, and your best friend.

My mum loved me very much, and I’d really like to make her proud by finding another wonderful home where I can be loved for the rest of my days.

Could you be the person I’ve been waiting for? ❤️

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 it has not already been 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. The adoption fee goes towards the cat’s costs whilst in our care. 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 dental or medical treatment needed. This enables us to carry on our work of rescuing unwanted and abandoned cats in need.

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.
