Patch

Patch is a handsome young gentleman who is currently discovering just how wonderful life can be.

When Patch first arrives in a new environment, he can be a little reserved. He prefers to take a moment to assess his surroundings and get to know his people before fully letting his guard down. However, once he realises he is safe, his affectionate nature quickly begins to shine through.

In foster care, Patch settled after just a couple of days and soon discovered one of his favourite things in the world: fuss and attention. He absolutely loves being stroked and rewards every bit of affection with an impressively loud purr. He has recently developed a fondness for climbing onto laps too, making himself comfortable while enjoying all the attention he can get.

Patch enjoys playtime, keeping watch from the window, and generally being admired for the handsome boy he is. While he isn’t particularly keen on being picked up and carried around, he is more than happy to seek out affection on his own terms and enjoys spending time close to his humans.

He is also refreshingly easy to please when it comes to food and is perfectly content with his dry food meals.

Having come from a multi-cat household, Patch is comfortable around other cats and could happily live with a feline companion following sensible introductions. He is not suitable to live with dogs.

Patch is looking for a loving home that will give him a little time to settle and continue building his confidence. In return, he will reward his new family with affection, companionship, plenty of lap visits, and some of the loudest purrs you are ever likely to hear.

Patch can live with children aged 10+ and will require outdoor access once he has fully settled into his new home.

If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle boy with a loving nature and lots of affection to give, Patch may be the perfect addition to your family.

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.
