Meet Nancy, a gorgeous and loving young cat who’s looking for her forever home after a difficult start to life. She arrived at Peterborough Cat Rescue as a stray, having given birth to kittens outside while still little more than a kitten herself. Now that her babies have all found homes, it’s Nancy’s turn to enjoy life, have fun and be cared for as she deserves.
Nancy is a very friendly girl with a lovely nature. She adores attention, loves being stroked and has the most wonderful, contented purr. With her kittens no longer needing her care, her playful side has started to shine through and she’s enjoying toys and human company more each day.
Although Nancy was initially unsure of other cats, she has since shown she can get along well with calm, older ones if introductions are handled gently. She would also be perfectly happy as the only cat in the home. Nancy would suit a home with children aged 5 and over and no dogs. Once she’s settled, she’ll enjoy having safe outdoor access to explore and relax.
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.
