Cassia

Interested in adopting Cassia & Dill together?
Please mention the other kitten’s name in the Experience section of the adoption form.

Cassia is a gorgeous, affectionate little girl who has had a difficult start to life. After sadly losing her mum at just one week old, she was hand-raised alongside her brother Dill and has grown into an incredibly loving, people-focused kitten.

Cassia has very mild cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), sometimes known as Wobbly Cat Syndrome, which affects balance and coordination. Her CH is so mild that you would barely know she has it. The condition is not painful or contagious and will not get worse.

She absolutely adores affection and loves rubbing around your face, curling up on your shoulder like a tiny parrot and generally being as close to her humans as possible. She is also a typical playful kitten who loves toys, exploring and having her mad moments.

Cassia can live with other friendly cats and children aged 6+ who are cat savvy, but is not suitable for a home with dogs. She is looking for an indoor home, ideally with access to a secure catio or fully cat-proofed garden.

Cassia has been raised with her brother Dill and they can be adopted separately or together. However, Cassia does sometimes suckle Dill for comfort, so adopters wishing to offer them a home together would need to be mindful of this.

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.
