The majority of the cats at our centre are rehomed fairly quickly, spending just enough time to be given a health check, before being picked up by loving new owners. 

However, there are some cats which stay at the centre for longer than necessary...

Possibly due to their advancing age, or because they have a challenging behaviour, or maybe a medical condition, that needs just that little bit of extra understanding by a potential owner. 

Every cat we deal with eventually gets the chance of a new life - some just take a while to get started.

If you have adopted such a cat from us, we would be extremely grateful to receive any pictures along with a little update on how your cats are slowly adjusting to life in their new homes.

Here is a collection of stories featuring some of our "harder-to-home" animals, proving that for every cat, there IS a home.
