ALBIE

Born in October 2024

Been in rescue since December 2024

Albie was one of two feral kittens trapped with his brother Arnie and their mum Anna. He was the most wary and skittish of the two boys and yet since being here at the rescue, he is actually the friendlier of the two kittens. At first his brother was, but now its all Albie.

HOUSE CAT. 🏠 A catio or cat proofed garden will be ok. ✅ Cats cannot open windows or locked doors 🔒 so there is no excuse for not being able to keep them in.

Has never been tested for compatibility with a dog, but he did see dogs where he was living as a feral kitten and was not phased by them, probably because it did not chase him. 🐕 Probably best if he lives with another cat. 🐈🐈‍⬛ Unsuitable for a home with small/young children - older ones should be fine.

HEIDI

Born in May 2024
been in rescue since July 2024

She and her siblings were born outside to a tame mum. So for a few weeks at least she was technically a feral cat. She has been in a few different foster homes and she is certainly a stubborn one for getting tame but her current fosterer informs me she is now ready to be adopted.

But she will be scared of strangers so anyone visiting her must understand this. Her brother has been adopted and came round pretty quickly with some one on one time with his new owners so I am confident she will be the same.
She will likely need a companion though so a home with another cat or one around her age would work well.
This is because she has never been alone before so should settle better with another cat.
She is starting to accept strokes on her terms but can still look startled like a rabbit in the headlights when approached directly.
A patient owner with some experience could work well and we will provide a lot of advice and guidance on working with ex feral scaredy cats.

She was born outdoors so can be a little skittish and nervous but I’m confident in a quiet home she will do well.

NORMAN

Born in August 2024

Been in rescue since late August 2024

This chap was one of a litter of 4 feral kittens found with their mum in an allotment shed. Luckily they were small enough for us to tame and whilst he is the biggest one of the litter, he is actually the most timid with strangers. But don't worry he is tame and will settle just fine in the right home.

He is a noisy little lad mind and not shy at giving some of the other cat residents a slap when he wants his own way. As long as someone has time to help him settle into a new home, he could even be a good only cat which we do not often say about kittens.

If you have a need for just one kitten in your life and can spare some time off work to get him settled, then do consider this lad.

Although a bit of a loner kitten, and should do fine on his own 🐈‍⬛ As long as he is given plenty attention he could also thrive well as an only cat.

SAPPHIRE & STEEL

BornAugust 2024
Been in rescue since February 2025

This brother and sister came to us after being relinquished by their owner who could not longer look after them.

We are told they are pedigree Ragdoll kittens although their owner got no paperwork from the breeder and thats not a very good breeder in our opinion because whilst we do not agree with breeding (particularly a much over bred breed such as Ragdolls), paperwork should always be available.

These two are totally bonded and as such we are not willing to split them up.

They go to the litter tray together, they eat together, they sleep together and they follow their foster mum and dad to the loo together. How can we split them up?

Please research this breed before enquiring. Ragdolls can be prone to sensitive tummies, UTIs and require you to groom them to prevent tats. They are not the most intelligent of breeds and absolutely cannot be allowed outdoors (except in a catio for example). They may well cost you more to insure than moggies but insurance is essential due to their propensity for getting health troubles.

We are asking for a slightly higher adoption fee for these two, hopefully ensuring people really give it some thought and are not simply looking at getting a pretty cat.

Previous Ragdoll experience is not essential but is useful.

TEEFOUR

Born late July 2024
Been in rescue since September 2024

He is the last of his litter left and is a very loving bonkers kitten who will get along well in a loving home.
He loves attention although being a youngster he needs his kitten naps still.
Very playful. Loves to snuggle up to you and often is right in your face.
Will be a good companion for another playful cat or even an adult who wants a companion.
He is a loner though and whilst we have other kittens here he has kept himself to himself and chose not to play with them. More likely to play with an adult cat.

The V KITTENS

Born November 2024
Been in rescue since late November 2024

Coming soon - 3 crazy little kittens soon to get their 2nd vacs and be neutered.

2 all black females who are already quite opinionated.

1 black and white male, as cheeky as they come.

They are currently learning to live with the other cats in our household but they can get a bit stroppy with them and are not shy in hissing or growling at other cats. But they are so young that ideally each kitten would find a home with another cat so they can grow up together and maybe learn some manners.

Will add pics as soon as they sit still long enough to capture them on camera.

They are soon to be:
