Mirren is a beautiful 6-month-old grey Sphynx who arrived in rescue through no fault of her own after her previous home’s older Sphynx would not accept her. She is affectionate, social, and has a wonderful temperament. Mirren loves climbing onto warm laps, offering enthusiastic head rubs, and being close to her people. She is gentle in her play, confident in new situations, and has an excellent appetite.
Sphynx cats are known for being energetic, sociable, and people-oriented, and Mirren is no exception. She will need a home where someone is around regularly, as she craves company and interactive play throughout the day. She is comfortable with older children (8+) and could potentially live with a calm dog after careful discussion and introduction.
Mirren has had one eye removed due to entropion as a kitten, but this has fully healed and requires no ongoing treatment. When it comes to other cats, she has shown signs of stress and defensiveness in her foster home, likely linked to her difficult start with another Sphynx. For this reason, she would prefer a home where she can have her humans all to herself.
As with all Sphynx cats, Mirren must be kept indoors, although a secure catio would be ideal to give her safe outdoor enrichment. She will make a loving, attentive, and playful companion for a home that can offer her plenty of time and affection.
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.
Adoption applications are currently paused.
