Introduction.
This is our official list of cats in our care that need homes. It is updated as soon as there are any changes, sometimes even daily.
Our re-homing centre is currently completely full and we have 24 cats and kittens in total needing homes.
Volunteer cat cuddlers are always welcome as they do an important job of keeping the cats socialised with people and more re-homeable as a result. Fosterers are always and very much needed. With more fosterers we could help more cats.
If you would like to visit our centre with a view to adopting one (or more!) -or to come and make a fuss of them, or even just to satisfy your curiosity- please contact Ian Williams by one of the following methods-
Phone (mobile) 075088 12280
Phone (landline) 0191 514 2850 Improved service: I now have two phones and a message leaving facility.
Email: ianw700@gmail.com -the best way to get in touch as I check my emails several times a day.
We do ask for a
donation of £40.00 for a kitten and
£30.00 for adult cats as all our adult cats have been neutered/spayed and vaccinated against cat flu and, in addition to our many other expenses, our vets bills run at over £2,000 a month.
Because of increasing expenses, we now have to ask for a donation of
£20 for cats we take in. We can
only accept cats in the re-homing centre that have been neutered/spayed and vaccinated against cat flu, though we may be able to help with this.
If, for whatever reason, a cat has to be
returned we will always accept them but it may not be possible straight away due to lack of spaces. Ian is always willing to help with any problems or queries. Our aim is a happy owner with a happy cat.
Something to think about: every cat we re-home means we have space to take in another cat which might otherwise either be tossed out to fend for itself or destroyed.
There are three parts to the list:
cats at the re-homing centre, cats fostered out, cats re-homed. Unless stated otherwise, Ian is the contact.
Introducing a new section: Lost and Found.
If you have lost your cat, email me a photo plus cat and your details and I'll put it on this page for 3 months or until you've got it back back whichever is the shorter period. The same if you have found a cat.
Rosie, male, missing Penshaw area since 30/06/14. Added 20/07/14. If found/seen please contact: Louise at
smithy11081985@hotmail.com
Barnes area. Our
Kitten ‘Wednesday’ went missing on Sunday 20th
July. Please can you look in your garage and/or shed or anywhere she
could be trapped? Wednesday is mute
so she can’t let you know if she is trapped. Wednesday
is chipped . If
you have seen her or see her please call me on: 0191 5519378 or
07910992244
Cats at the re-homing centre.
Sansa, female, about 2, pale ginger and
white, still settling in but seems like a nice cat, doesn't like other
cats though. Arrived 05/07/14.
Pierre, a large friendly longish-haired black and white male age 18 months. Everyone who meets him loves him. Just not enough to take him home. Surely there's a place in your house and heart for him. Arrived 30/03/14.
Sox, age uncertain but about 12-18 months, very friendly, a really nice young boy cat put in our care as a result of a family break up. Who will give this kittenish cat a home? Arrived 24/06/14. Reserved.
Aoife, 5 yrs,
black with small white patch, female, ideal for a single person or couple with no children or
other animals, likes having a fuss made of her, sitting on knees and
sleeping on beds but otherwise low maintenance. Used to being a house cat. Must be the only cat.
Only given up by her idiot fosterer (me) because he had too many cats in the house and some had to go. Arrived April 2013.
Burnside, 8-9 years old, ginger-white, been living rough-ish for three years, not a bad cat but best placed in a home without any other cats. Takes a little while to settle down and, at first, will escape if he can but he is friendly and likes people. The sort of cat that grows on you the longer you have him. Dependent on the kindness for strangers for many years, he's looking for someone who will finally give him a permanent home and love him in the late summer of his life. Arrived 05/04/14.
(The unfortunately named) Rasputin is a two year old female and very friendly. Desperately needs someone to adopt her and give her a new name more fitting to her loving nature. Arrived 30/04/14.
Roly, a lively friendly 2 year old boy. Missing the company of his sister who was re-homed recently, he's looking for a human on whom he can lavish his love. Arrived 03/04/14.
Hero. male, two and a half, b/w arrived 03/01/14, Frightened of children but generally friendly. That's his story and he's sticking to it. Come on, there must be someone out there for a bonny boy like him.
Alfie, a stray tabby,
4 years old, generally friendly and likes attention but terrified of a face coming close to him, not aggressive, needs a quiet home with lots of love. If he could sing he'd sing, "I'm just a soul whose intentions are good/Oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood." Arrived 05/02/14
Tiny (she isn't) & Todd, brother & sister, 15 months old, black, arrived 14/01/14. Nice natured, good with other cats. To be re-homed together. They thought they had a home until they were cast out by that rude word of a person who claims to rescue and re-home cats. Not doing a very good job with these two nice loving cats, is he?
Twinkle, female tabby, and Star, female black & white, young but age unknown. Twinkle is nervous but Star is affectionate. Twinkle could so easily be a friendly loving cat by someone with patience. It's so sad these two are often overlooked. Can -reluctantly- be re-homed separately.
Cats (and kittens) with foster carers.
All these cats and kittens can be seen by, except where indicated, contacting Ian.
Two kittens, 3 months old, arrived 16th July, grey fluffy female, black and white male.
Jeff, female, 15 months old, a very loveable pretty young cat, tolerates other cats -just.
Arrived April 14
.
Arya, torty female about 1 year old, playful, very affectionate and likes other cats. Suit just about any owner. Except the idiot who abandoned her. Arrived 01/07/14.
I don't know who you are because I haven't met you yet but I do know you're incredibly lucky because you are the new owner of Bron and Dany Fluffy. They are a very loving 7 month old brother and sister with gorgeous soft fur and they are going to make you so happy over the next few years. So what are you waiting for? Get in touch! Neutered and spayed 14/07/14.
Caitlyn, about 4 years old, female, pretty and friendly but not so keen on other cats. She's pretty and the longer I have her the more I like her. Found at Grangetown and despite notices in the post office and our shop window, it looks like she's been cruelly abandoned. Arrived early July 2014.
Millie
(born 11/2/10) spayed and vaccinated. Best kept as an only cat. Can be
very loving on her terms. Loves all food, not fussy and loves to sleep
under the duvet with you. Contact Andrea 07588 903233.
Khal, male, 3 months, black and white, well socialised. Are you mad out there? This is a lovely friendly kitten and I should know because he's on my knee often enough and loves playing with other cats as all the other kittens he grew up with have found homes. £40 donation required.
