Cara

Meet Cara – A Little Lady with a Lot of Personality!

Cara is a sweet girl with a big personality hiding behind a rather shy and nervous exterior. She’s very much an affection-on-her-terms kind of lady – she likes to decide when it’s cuddle time, thank you very much!

She’s a sensitive soul who finds the big, busy world a little overwhelming. In fact, Cara is much more comfortable when it’s just one human in the house. Add a second person to the room and she’ll often decide that somewhere else is much more appealing! She’ll need patient, understanding humans who are happy to let her settle in at her own pace and allow her confidence to grow without any pressure.

But don’t let her shy nature fool you – Cara has plenty of quirks!

Night owl: Enjoys singing the call of her people at approximately 2am. Sleep is apparently optional!

Food enthusiast: Will regularly attempt to convince you that she is absolutely starving and hasn’t been fed in approximately 47 years. Don’t fall for it!

Playtime princess: Loves chasing the laser and playing with yarn.

Squishmallow fan: Her dragon Squishmallow is a firm favourite.

Queen of the castle: Loves a high-up vantage point where she can supervise her kingdom.

Interior designer: A fluffy blanket on the sofa is essential. She will claim it as her own, and you will be expected to respect this arrangement.

Cara’s Dream Home

Cara is looking for a very special home with:

No children.

No other pets.

Patient, calm and understanding humans.

Ideally a quiet household with just one person.

People who understand that trust takes time and won’t expect her to be a confident, cuddly lap cat overnight.

Cara isn’t going to be the cat who greets every visitor at the door or throws herself into your arms straight away. She’s going to need time, space and lots of reassurance. But for the right person, watching this little lady slowly blossom and learn to trust will be incredibly rewarding.

Could you be Cara’s special person?

She’s not looking for a busy household or a life full of adventures. She’s looking for a safe space, a comfy blanket, a few favourite toys, someone to keep her food bowl topped up (preferably before she wastes away!), and a human who loves her just the way she is.

All Cara needs is someone willing to let her come out of her shell in her own time

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.
