Meet Astrid

Astrid came into our care alongside her kittens after living in a house with over 40 cats. Despite her difficult start, she has shown herself to be a calm and caring mother. Her kittens are currently showing signs of cat flu, and although Astrid is not displaying symptoms, she is likely a carrier. For this reason, it’s important that she, and any other cats in her future home, are kept up to date with annual vaccinations.

We don’t have any history of Astrid living with dogs or children, but she has been around other cats and could potentially live with feline companions. As we don’t know whether she has previously had outdoor access, her new owner should be prepared to safely introduce her to the outdoors if she shows an interest.

Astrid can be a nervous girl, so she will need a calm home with someone who can give her the time and patience to settle in at her own pace. With understanding and kindness, we believe Astrid will grow in confidence and become a lovely companion.

Astrid will be ready for adoption in early June.

If you’re looking to give a deserving cat a second chance and can offer a quiet, supportive environment, Astrid could be the perfect addition to your home.

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.
