Check list

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.
