Upcoming Homing Day - Sunday 28th June

Join us at South Bretton Community Centre between 12pm and 3pm to meet some of our cats looking for their forever homes.

Please note that cats featured on our website will not necessarily be attending the Homing Day, and additional cats not shown on our website may also be available.

To help us find the right match for both cats and adopters, all prospective adopters will be asked to complete an assessment and suitability check before viewing cats.

Bourbon

Bourbon is a handsome tabby white one-year-old boy with a wonderfully sweet nature and so much love to give. While we can’t share his photo online, we can tell you that his personality more than makes up for the mystery.

This gentle lad adores human company and is happiest when he’s receiving fuss, strokes, and attention from his people. He is incredibly affectionate, loves a cuddle, and would happily spend his evenings curled up beside you after a busy day of exploring. Bourbon is also great with children, making him a lovely addition to many family homes.

Like many young cats, Bourbon is very food motivated and takes meal times seriously. Due to some food-related guarding behaviours and his tendency to be a little dominant around other cats, he is looking for a home where he can be the only feline resident. He much prefers having all the food, fuss, and attention to himself.

Bourbon has lived alongside a dog in foster care and has generally tolerated canine company well. However, he is confident enough to make his boundaries clear if a dog gets too close for comfort. A calm, cat-friendly dog that is happy to coexist rather than constantly interact may be suitable.

Once settled into his new home, Bourbon will need safe outdoor access as he enjoys exploring and spending time outside.

If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate companion with a big heart and an even bigger love of food, Bourbon could be the perfect match for you. Sometimes the best things in life are worth meeting in person.

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.
