Our cat adoption application process

Our cat adoption application process is entirely online. We don’t allow members of the public to visit our cats, but if you are matched with a cat, you will be able to meet them as part of the rehoming process.

  1. Look through the cats available for rehoming
  2. If you see a cat that you feel is a potential match, click the ‘get started’ button on their profile.
  3. On each cats profile is a ‘Get Started’ button, once you click this you will need to complete the registration form. Once complete, click ‘submit’ and then continue to complete the questionnaire that follows. If you have already completed a questionnaire with us within the last 6 weeks, you do not need to do this again unless your circumstances have changed.
  4. Our Rehoming team will assess your application with the needs of the cat and let you know if you are a potential match.
  5. If you are not a match for the cat, we will look to see if there is another that may be of interest to you and get in touch.
  6. If there are no other cats that match with you, we will let you know and ask you to keep checking our website for new available cats.

If you are not looking to adopt a specific cat, please complete our generic registration form to help us find a suitable match for you.

Please be aware that you may need to visit our centre in Cambridgeshire on more than one occasion so will need your own transport, we are not easily accessible by public transport and do not advise pets being rehomed from us, are taken on public transport for their journey home.
