RESERVED - Peta (male pic here) and Piper (female) are 8 month old siblings, they are both neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated and have a clean bill of health. They will be rehomed with 5 weeks free pet insurance.

Towards the end of last year we were made aware of a family of cats living in an elderly ladies garden, as well as mum and dad there had been 2 litters of kittens, Peta and Piper are part of the last litter. Over the course of a couple of weeks we managed to trap the whole family of 8 cats.

We have been working on socialising Peta and Piper in one of our experienced foster homes, getting them used to life indoors as domestic pets, having been born and living in the garden for the first 14 weeks of their lives they lacked that initial human touch which is so important but were used to seeing people daily and recognised that they were feeders and caregivers so whilst these two little ones were very scared we have been able to get them to the point now where they will allow strokes. They are going to need a patient, experienced and understanding new home with someone who can continue to give them the time and exposure they need to continue building their confidence. It's not an easy task and it can be frustrating at times BUT it is SOOOO rewarding to watch them blossom over time and have the life they deserve.

Peta and Piper can happily live with other cats (in fact other confident, friendly cats will help them), they are used to small very cat friendly dogs but will need a home with older, quieter children who will understand that these kittens will take a long time to want fuss from them.

They are great with the litter tray and they are eating really well and enjoy both wet and dry food. Their ideal home would possibly be one with a catio or fully enclosed cat proofed garden where in several months time once settled they can get a degree of freedom, they may eventually be confident enough to free roam but currently it would be too risky to let them out.

Being fostered in Swadlincote, Derbys but can be rehomed further afield subject to homecheck and adoption donation of £150 for the pair.

REHOMED - Beau is a 7yr old pure white male, he is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated and has a clean bill of health. Beau is deaf from birth. He will be rehomed with 5 weeks free pet insurance.

Beau originally came to us several years ago with a feline pal and they were rehomed together but over the years unfortunately their relationship has broken down and Beau now desperately needs to be the only cat in the home so he has come back to us to find a new family where he can be the centre of attention.

Beau is a stunning looking boy who suits his handsome name, he is friendly and likes a fuss but is also quite independent and doesn't demand constant attention. He will make a great companion for someone looking for a pal to sit with in the evenings but maybe has a busier life in the daytime.

Beau is used to being able to go outside and he enjoys spending time in the garden so due to his deafness his new home will obviously need to be in a safe, ideally more rural location WELL AWAY FROM ANY BUSY OR FAST ROADS so he can continue to enjoy his freedom. He will not suit an area that has a heavy population of other cats as he really doesnt tolerate other cats and we dont want him upsetting the neighbours. He has lived alongside a placid elderly dog in the past but not so for a few years, he could live with quieter older children aged 8yrs plus.

Beau is clean with the litter tray and enjoys his wet and dry food and of course a treat of Dreamies.

Being fostered in Swadlincote, Derby's but can be rehomed further afield to the right home subject to homecheck and adoption donation of £75

If you can offer this special gorgeous boy the rural retreat that he needs please email us telling us all about your home offer and contact details to [email protected]

REHOMED - Robin (tabby male) and his sister Wren (black female) are looking for a home together. They were born on 28 Dec 24, they are microchipped, flea and worm treated and had a 1st vaccination so far. They can return to our vets in Swadlincote or Tamworth for a free 2nd vaccination in a few weeks time and free neutering once they are big enough. They have a clean bill of health and will be rehomed with 5 weeks free pet insurance.

These two gorgeous kittens were part of a newborn litter who were found in a garden along with their very poorly mum, Raven their lovely mum was too ill to look after them (she did make a full recovery) so these babies were taken into foster with one of our amazing experienced handrearers where they just did amazingly and have just been an absolute picture of health.

Being handreared means that these kittens are INCREDIBLY friendly, they just want to be with you, on your lap and in your face, handrears dont understand personal space at all. They will need a home with a family where someone is around a lot of the time and wants cats who will want lots of interaction. They are great fun and love playing chase, climbing their cat tree and getting into mischief before snuggling down for a snooze curled up together.

The kittens are eating really well and have been raised on Royal Canin kitten dry food and just moved to Whiskas wet kitten food from their kitten weaning food. They use the litter tray really well and are used to the wood pellet cat litter.

They can be rehomed with other neutered friendly cats, could live with a cat friendly dog and will be fine with sensible children aged 5yrs and over.

They will need a home with a nice safe garden that is WELL AWAY FROM ANY BUSY OR FAST ROADS so that once old enough and neutered they can play outside safely.

Being fostered in Swadlincote, Derbys, home offers subject to homecheck and an adoption donation of £120 per kitten.

If you can offer this gorgeous pair their forever home please email us telling us all about your home offer in detail along with your full address and contact number to [email protected]
