Check list
Can you commit to homing an animal for 15 years or more?
Yes – you are suitable to adopt
No – we cannot adopt an animal with you but you may still be suitable to foster
Do you have a garden?
Yes – excellent, we will need to check that it is suitable for the animal but it opens you up to more of the animals in our care
No – don’t worry, we still have some cats that are ‘indoor’ cats, however we will not be able to re-home kittens with you
Do you own your own home?
Yes – excellent, that means it’s much easier for us to rehome with you.
No – you will need to ensure you have written permission from your landlord before you contact us. You also need to be aware that many landlords won’t accept pets so this could be a problem when you next move house.
