Did you know that single kittens are the #1 most returned to Rescues Nationwide?

​

Obviously, we want to avoid that! For that reason we have a strict Adoption Policy for 

kittens which is aimed at making sure their move to a new home is permanent.

​

  Kittens Need:

• Interaction with other kittens for social development.

• Company. Isolation can delay their emotional and social development.

• Kittens that remain with a littermate or similarly aged companion are happier, healthier and better socialised.

• Young kittens need regular feeding, so someone needs to be at home for most of the day whilst they are young.

​

  For those reasons:

• Our kittens will not be homed until they are at least 9 weeks old. By this time, they will have had their first vaccination, 

       ​​flea and worm treatment and will be microchipped.

• We only home young kittens in bonded pairs, not on their own.

• Someone needs to be at home most of the time whilst they are young.

• Single, young kittens will only be homed if there is a suitable resident cat already at home.

• It is essential they are neutered at 4 months old - this is included in the adoption fee.

• Their new home should have safe outside space for when they are older.
