Kitten Watch Update: Saying Goodbye!

The 4 kittens are now 8-9 weeks old and have all been reserved, microchipped, had their first vaccination, are flea'd and wormed up to date and have been neutered! They have all headed off to their new homes and our duty of looking after them is now passed on to their new families for their bright futures, full of fun! It is always sad for staff to say goodbye to the kittens they have watched and worked with for the vital first 8 weeks of their lives and seeing their individual personalities shine through but it is also a very happy time as we know they will be loved and enjoy their lovely new homes.



Daisy has also now headed off to her forever home, she too has been neutered, ending the cycle of her having multiple litters of kittens, she is also microchipped and fully vaccinated now. Daisy has been such a wonderful mum and now we are so thrilled she gets her happy ending of a forever home to spend her days playing and relaxing.

Our homing process is very simple, we invite the public to look at our opening hours and pop along to the centre between those times. We ask for potential adopters to fill out a short questionnaire in order for us to point them in the right direction of suitable cats to fit in with their lifestyle and home. We urge the public to read all of the stories above the cats pens in order to find out a little more about each cats individual needs and from there one of our knowledgeable cat carers will allow them to meet the cat.




If the potential adopter wishes to take home the cat they have met then we pop a 'reserved' sign above their pen and go through the cats medical history, flea and worm treatments, vaccination records and any relevant previous history (such as if the cat likes to sit on laps, what kind of toys and scratch post they prefer) and explain to the adopter everything they need to know and get ready before taking the cat home.

The adoption fee is £50 and all of our cats in care will be upto date with their flea and worm treatment, neutered (if old enough - if not a full cost neutering voucher will be provided), microchipped to the adopters address and would of had at least their first vaccination.

We want to say a HUGE thankyou to everyone who sponsored Daisy and her kittens during their stay with us. Every penny helps cats and kittens just like them in our care.



Daisy is one of the lucky cats who has found her way into our care, sadly every year many cats give birth out doors with no proper shelter and care. Although we all love seeing mums with kittens at the centre, we would always advocate getting cats neutered as this is the only effective way to reduce unwanted cats in the UK. A fact which surprises everyone is that one female cat can be responsible for a staggering 20,000 descendants in just five years! For help with neutering your cat, please click here
