Romeo

Meet the very handsome Romeo, a 6-year-old boy with a fabulous long-haired coat and plenty of character to match. Romeo is a big lad, tipping the scales at 8.6kg, and he is looking for a special home where he can enjoy all the love and attention he deserves.

When Romeo first arrived with his foster mum, he was understandably a little unsure and confused by all the changes. He had a little hiss in his first couple of days, but once he realised he was safe, he soon began to settle. Now he loves curling up next to you for cuddles and strokes, and he has shown that he is very much a people cat who enjoys company and affection.

Romeo also has a playful side and enjoys chasing dangly toys and investigating catnip. He loves stimulation and attention, and he would really suit a home where he can be adored. He may roll over and show off his fabulous fluffy tummy, but this is very much for admiration only, not tummy tickles.

Romeo is looking for an adult-only home with no children, no dogs and no other cats. He really does need to be the only pet in the home so he can have all the attention to himself. Ideally, he would suit a home with one or two adults, preferably with previous cat experience and perhaps a little understanding of the diva-prince type.

Although Romeo has previously had the option to spend time outdoors, he has often chosen to stay inside, so a home where he can continue to have that choice would be lovely. Due to his amazing long-haired coat, he will also need regular help with grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best.

Romeo enjoys both wet and dry food, is fully litter trained, and is now ready to find a home that will appreciate just how special he is.

Partially Vaccinated: The first vaccination has been completed. The second will need to be arranged and covered by the new owner.

We’re a foster-based charity, so each cat lives in a home environment before adoption. This helps us see how they cope with things like children, other cats, and dogs.

Because we don’t always know a cat’s full history (especially if they were a stray), our guidance is based on what we’ve observed in foster care. For example:

  • If a cat has lived happily with children, we’ll note they’re suitable for family homes.

  • If a cat is very timid and hasn’t been around children, we may suggest an adult-only home.

  • The same applies for cats and dogs — suitability depends on their behaviour and what we’ve seen first-hand.

As a foster-based rescue, when one cat is adopted their space is quickly filled by another in need. If a cat is adopted into an unsuitable home and has to return, it unsettles them and creates real challenges with our limited foster spaces.

We also believe that, where possible, cats should have safe access to the outdoors. Unless a cat is specifically listed as indoor-only, outdoor access is a requirement for adoption.

Our priority is always to match each cat with the home where they’ll feel safe, settled, and happy.
