Meet Belle – the Queen of Tortitude!

Hello, I’m Belle, a beautiful tortoiseshell girl aged around 1–2 years. I’ve done an incredible job raising my kittens, and now that they’ve grown up, it’s finally my turn to find a forever home where I can be the one getting all the love and attention.

I’m a sweet, affectionate girl, but as any self-respecting tortie will tell you, life is best when things happen on my terms. I’ve been a wonderfully devoted and protective mum, so I haven’t shown much interest in toys yet—but let’s be honest, I had an image to uphold. Someone had to be the responsible adult while the tiny hooligans caused complete mayhem!

Because I took my mum duties very seriously, I haven’t been tested with other cats or dogs. To avoid any royal disputes, I think I’d be happiest as the only princess in your kingdom, where I can rule the household with just the right amount of tortitude.

If you’re looking for a cat with beauty, personality, a little bit of sass, and a whole lot of love to give, then I could be the perfect addition to your family. Just remember… you don’t own a tortie—they graciously allow you to live in their palace!

Hopefully Belle’s future staff… sorry, family… are ready to accept her royal terms and conditions!

 

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.
