Shade is a beautiful 7-year-old British Shorthair-type boy with a gorgeous blue-grey coat and a lovely affectionate nature.
He can be a little shy and unsure at first, so he is looking for a calm, adult-only home with someone who will give him the time and space he needs to settle in and come out of his shell.
Once comfortable, Shade loves a fuss and enjoys plenty of attention. He does, however, know when he has had enough and may give you a little friendly nip to let you know. To be fair, we all have our limits!
Shade would like to be the only pet in his new home, with no other cats or dogs. Once fully settled, he can have access to the outdoors.
Shade is not currently in foster care, so there may be a short delay while we arrange a suitable foster placement and viewing. You can still register your interest and apply for Shade now.
With a little patience at the beginning, Shade should make a wonderful companion for someone looking for an affectionate boy who knows his own mind.
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.
