Adopt
How adoption works
What to expect from applying through to bringing your new cat home.
Some of our cats are forever residents who live at the barn for good and aren't available for adoption. You can still sponsor them through the £2 Cat Club.
The steps
- 1
Browse the cats
Look through the cats currently looking for homes on Meet the Cats. Each profile says whether the cat is good with children, other cats and dogs, and any special needs.
- 2
Send an application
Fill in our adoption form. It asks about your home, household and routine so we can find a good match. You can apply for a specific cat or make a general application.
- 3
We get in touch for a chat
We read every application and get in touch for a chat about you, your home and the cat.
- 4
Home check and meeting
If it looks like a match, we'll arrange a home check and for you to meet the cat.
- 5
Adoption day
We talk you through the adoption fee and paperwork, then you take your new cat home.
Before you apply
- If you rent, you'll need your landlord's written permission to keep a cat.
- Think about the ongoing costs of a cat: food, litter, insurance and vet bills.
- Some cats need an indoor-only home, a quiet adult-only home or to be the only pet. Check the profile.
