Meet Lightning, a lovely young boy who’s come on in leaps and bounds since arriving at his foster home. Once a very timid kitten, he’s now showing his playful and curious side, proving he’s braver than first thought. Lightning is still cautious around new people but never hissy or scratchy, just quietly observant and in need of time and patience to build trust.
He’s a sociable kitten who loves spending time with other cats and would thrive in a home where he has a young feline companion to play with. Lightning is a chatty boy who enjoys interactive play and will happily chase toys or join in with other kittens’ antics.
He’d be best suited to a calm, quiet home with cat-savvy people aged 12 and over who can give him space and gentle encouragement as he continues to grow in confidence. Once old enough and neutered, he’ll need outdoor access to explore safely.
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.
This kitten comes with our kitten package, which includes neutering, microchipping and the initial vaccinations.
Instead of applying for individual cats you can open a general adoption form here General Interest Form.
