Meet Makita

Makita came into our care after she was found straying on a construction site. Thankfully, a kind member of the public brought her safely to Thornberry, where she could begin to settle and feel safe.

Makita is a very shy girl and will need a calm, quiet home where her new owners are prepared to give her the space, patience and time she needs to build trust. She is slowly beginning to trust us here at Thornberry, and we hope that with the right person, she will continue to gain confidence and show more of her lovely personality.

Makita’s new family will need to understand that she may not be an immediately cuddly or confident cat. She will need someone who is happy to let her come out of her shell at her own pace, without pressure. With patience, kindness and consistency, we hope she will blossom into a much more confident girl.

As Makita was found as a stray, she will need outdoor access in her new home.

If you have a calm household and the patience to give a shy cat the time she deserves, Makita could be the special girl you’ve been waiting for. ❤️🐱

The adoption process

Application

If you see an animal on our website that you are interested in adopting, you should fill out an Animal Enquiry form. This gives us more details about yourself and your lifestyle to make sure you are a good match for each other. If we get multiple requests for one animal, we will consider them all and choose the most suitable home to match it to a new owner. This will allow everyone interested a fair chance of adopting it

First meeting

If your application is successful, we will invite you for a first meeting. Here, you and the animal will meet each other and see how you get along. Following on from this, there may be more meetings and you can introduce other pets as required.

Home checks

Home checks are required for every dog before we set the adoption date. This was done physically pre-Covid but we now ask for videos and photos. We need to be sure the home environment is suitable for that dog and the garden is secure. If dogs/rabbits are going to live with other dogs/rabbits, we will arrange an introduction as previously mentioned.

Keep in touch

Every adoption is as unique as each animal. Please remember although sometimes it might seem like a lengthy process, we are doing this to make sure each animal is found the right home for their lifetime.
