What is a homing visit?
We want to ensure that we find the perfect cat for you and that the cat will
be happy in his new environment that is why we carry out a homing visit before
letting you take kitty home. Because all cats have different personalities
and will have had varied past experiences, the home visit will help us to be
able to match the right cat for your circumstances. A homing visit is also
the perfect opportunity for you to ask us any questions that you may have.
Do you have any pedigree cats?
Most cats that are rehomed by Cats Protection are non-pedigree,
but we are seeing increasing numbers of pedigree cats coming into our care.
It really is pot luck as to whether a branch or adoption centre will have a
pedigree cat (check branch and adoption centre websites regularly).
If you
are unable to get a pedigree cat from us then you may like to try the rescue
arms of many breed societies. Details of these can be found via publications
such as Your Cat or Cat World, or by phoning the Governing Council of the Cat
Fancy (GCCF) on 01278 427575. You can also visit the GCCF’s website here
Do you have kittens available?
Cats Protection does have kittens for rehoming, particularly during the breeding months, but we would encourage you to think about rehoming an older cat, as they have many fantastic qualities. Unlike a kitten, an older cat is housetrained and they tend to be calmer.
