We urgently need more pet free foster carers and those with a spare room to separate
Our Adoption Process
The right cat for you
If you are reading this, it is likely you are thinking of adding a cat to your home. You can find our available cats on our facebook page by clicking the link below.
To apply for the cat or cats you are interested in, follow the link on each cat's profile on facebook and complete the online application.
We can only accept applications for cats that are listed as available.
The home check
All adoptions are subject to a home check. A volunteer will arrange a convenient time to visit your home to discuss your application form and meet your family. The volunteer will then provide feedback to the rescue in order to move on to the next step in the adoption.
Meeting your potential new pet
Following your home check, we will contact you to make arrangements for you to meet the furry of your choice.
Most of the time, this will involve lots of cuddles and purrs but please be aware that some cats are shy when meeting strangers, especially when they come from a rescue back ground so a little patience is required. We always try our best to describe the cats in our care accurately, so if a cat is particularly shy then this will be made clear on the advert.
The Adoption fee
All adoptions are subject to a non-refundable adoption fee of £100 per cat, unless amount is stated otherwise in pet advert. Once your home check is complete, all you need to do to reserve our pet is to make this payment to us.
Payment details will be sent to you at this point.
The Good part
This is what you’ve really been waiting for. The moment is here and you can take your pet home.
At this point, we will supply you with an adoption agreement to read, consider and sign. Please read this carefully and retain a copy for your records.
After you get home
The adoption journey doesn’t end the moment you get your new pet home. See our website for tips to help your new pet acclimatise to their surroundings or introducing them to your existing pets.
Perhaps your cat is settling in and you are experiencing behaviours that you have not encountered before. We are on hand to provide you with advice and guidance so please do get in touch.
Adopter Community
Would you like to join our happy endings facebook group? If so, let us know and we’ll email you an invitation. Here you can share photos of your new favourite furry and get ideas and inspirations from other adopters and volunteers.
For the privacy of our adopters, this group is private and is only open to people who have adopted a cat or cats from the Cats Whisker’s Rescue.
If your circumstances change
The Cats Whisker’s Rescue provides lifetime rescue back up. This means if your circumstances change and you are no longer able to take care of your pet, we will welcome them back with open arms and find them a new loving home.
