Sox is a handsome 6-month-old boy with a gentle, affectionate nature and a playful side that’s becoming more confident every day.
While he’s a little more reserved than his brother Leicester, Sox has made fantastic progress in foster care and is really starting to come out of his shell. He enjoys exploring, playing and spending time with his people, but he would benefit from having another friendly cat to help him continue building his confidence. He would love to be adopted with Leicester, but if they are homed separately, Sox will need a feline friend waiting for him in his new home.
Sox has met the resident dog in foster care and has taken it all in his stride, so with careful introductions he could happily live with a cat-friendly dog. He has also become much more comfortable around visiting children and could live with sensible, cat-savvy children aged 5 years and over who understand when he needs a little space.
If you think Sox could be the perfect addition to your family, we’d love to hear from you. If you’re also interested in Leicester, simply mention this in the cat experience section of your application form.
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.
Instead of applying for individual cats you can open a general adoption form here General Interest Form.
