Cats in our Care

Blackie and his brother Mooey are looking for a new home (together) after their owner had to move house and was unable to find a rental that allowed them.

These two brothers have grown up together and are great mates. While Mooey is quite affectionate, Blackie has been a bit traumatised by the move into foster care and has taken about 6 weeks to come out of his shell and let his carer pat him. He's now coming up for headbutts at dinner time, talks to his carer (although is much quieter than Mooey who is the real vocal one!) and is easily picked up and cuddled. His previous owner found him fairly confident with new people once he got to know them and a typical, friendly, cuddly cat with them. These boys will truly make a great addition to an indoor only home who is cat experienced and is willing to give them the month or two required for them to get to know their new family and settle in For this reason Blackie & Mooey will come on an extended trial period.

Both Blackie and Moeey are used to living with multiple cats and while haven't lived with dogs before, are used to them being around outside of the cattery they are currently housed in. They would be better in a home with older, or no, children as they haven't grown up with very young children and will just hide from them.

A Resilient Spirit Ready for a Gentle Home

Lexi is a beautiful kitten whose journey began with a terrifying experience—she was found alone and overwhelmed in a busy, loud warehouse. Understandably, this sweet girl arrived in foster care traumatised, initially reacting to human presence with fear.

Her Courageous Progress: Lexi is slowly showing us the sweet, affectionate kitten hidden behind her shy exterior. While she remains cautious with new faces, she has made incredible strides with her foster family, moving from constant fear to genuine affection.

She has now found her voice— meowing for playtime and demanding pats every morning before breakfast. Her desire for connection is starting to outweigh her caution. She is increasingly enjoying human touch, leaning into chin scratches and purring with contentment.

A Playful Heart Unfolding: When Lexi feels safe, her true kitten self shines! She is a comical, energetic whirlwind of zoomies and mischievous pounces. She loves hunting felt balls, which she proudly carries around in her mouth. Seeing her transform from a hiding kitten into an active participant in games has been a joy to witness.

The Ideal Home for Lexi: Because she is still building her confidence Lexi is looking for a calm, patient home with no small kids or high-energy pets. A family with the compassion to let her continue opening up at her own pace.

If you have the heart and patience for a "work in progress" who will reward you with morning purrs and playful antics, Lexi is your girl!

Arlo is a sweet male Domestic Short Hair kitten with a classic tabby coat and a big personality. He was found alone in the rain by a good Samaritan and taken straight to a vet clinic, where he began his journey to a safe and loving life. Since then, Arlo has been hand-raised and bottle-fed, making him especially people-oriented and affectionate.

Because he grew up without littermates, Arlo can play a little rough while he’s still learning his manners but with guidance, he’s quickly improving and eager to please. He’s curious, confident, and loves being close to his humans.

Arlo will be ready for adoption around 9th January once he’s completed his required vet work. He’s looking for an indoors-only home with a family who can give him the love, patience, and playtime he needs to thrive.

If you're looking for a playful, cuddly companion with a brave little heart, Arlo might just be your perfect match!
