Adopt a cat



If you are interested in adopting a cat or kitten from us, please ring our CatLine on 01268 285778 (preferred contact method) or email to homing@bascats.org.uk  Please mention that you've seen our website! On weekdays, during office hours, your call will be answered by our call service who will take all your details and pass your message on to our volunteers.  At other times, please be prepared to leave a message and we will return your call  as soon as we can. Please do bear in mind that we are all volunteers and are not available 24/7. When we call you back, we will discuss with you what type of cat you would like and talk you through our adoption procedure.

All our cats are micro-chipped, and any behaviour or health problems are sorted out before they are put up for adoption. All cats are neutered if not already done when they come into care. All cats and kittens are treated for fleas and worms and vaccinated against Feline Flu, Enteritis and Leukaemia, micro-chipped and are homed with 4 weeks free Pet Plan Insurance. We are also now offering free neutering for kittens we rehome at a vet we specify. 

We normally ask for £70 per cat or kitten to help towards the costs of their care whilst they were with us. However if you could afford more and give us an extra donation, it will help us to help more unfortunate cats. There are just so many out there needing our help. Each cat or kitten, will have cost us £130 or more whilst in our care, so the £70 adoption fee does not even cover our costs. For some cats, it may amount to many hundreds of £s.

This page is updated regularly, as and when cats become available. Those marked with *NEW* alongside their name, will have been added within the last 7 to 10 days. 

Sorry, but for cat welfare and logistical reasons, we are unable to home cats and kittens to addresses more than 20 miles by road outside of our branch's area and outside of Essex.

Please phone our CatLine on 01268 285778 

IF YOU SEE A CAT OR KITTEN YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE CALL US ON 01268 285778. DON'T WAIT FOR THE HOMING SHOW AS HE/SHE MAY GET A NEW HOME BEFORE THE NEXT SHOW. WE HOME OUR CATS AND KITTENS ALL THE TIME, NOT JUST AT HOMING SHOWS.

WE USUALLY HOLD OUR HOMING SHOWS ON THE FIRST SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH   
LATEST NEWS:  8 cats and kittens got homes at our Homing Show today and one cat was rehomed prior to the show. Isn't that great.  We wish Pip & Will, Laura, Tony & Trevor, Buster, Darcy, Alan & Archie and their new owners all the best! 

INFORMATION:  due to the high volume of pregnant mums and mums with young kittens we have in care at the moment, we are very restricted in taking adult cats into care for adoption, but do look at our kittens of various ages who are looking for their forever homes. There may also be times when we don't have a lot of cats ready for adoption, although all our foster spaces are full.
