Meet April, a lovely 1-year-old girl with a gentle nature and a heart full of love just waiting to shine through.
When April first arrived in foster care, she was quite a shy little lady who preferred to watch the world from a safe distance. She wasn’t too sure about people at first and liked to keep herself tucked away while she settled in. But with patience, kindness and time, April has slowly realised that humans are actually rather wonderful… especially when they provide fuss and head strokes.
Now, once she feels comfortable, April will happily come over looking for affection and attention. She absolutely loves being stroked, and when you find her favourite spot, her purr starts rumbling away at full volume. It’s been lovely watching her confidence grow, and she’s become such a sweet and affectionate young girl.
April would suit a calmer home where her new family will give her the time she needs to settle properly and continue building her confidence. She can live with another friendly cat with careful introductions, but dogs would be too much for her.
She’s a lovely example of how rewarding it can be to give a slightly shy cat a chance. Once April trusts you, you’ll have a loyal little companion who will quietly steal your heart.
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.
Instead of applying for individual cats you can open a general adoption form here General Interest Form.
