Meet Damien

Damien is a long-haired, battle-hardened beauty who’s spent many of his years surviving on the streets and is now looking for his forever home. A proper old-school stray, Damien has seen it all, but despite his rugged exterior and independent spirit, he’s got a soft heart that still believes in love. After a life of fending for himself, Damien is learning to enjoy the comforts of a home and the kindness of humans. He takes his time when meeting new people, but once he trusts you, the transformation is magical — this scruffy adventurer melts into a soft, purring sweetheart who truly appreciates a gentle touch. Damien is looking for a quiet, adult-only home where he can be the only pet. He’s not a fan of other cats (too many turf wars in his past!) and he’s a carrier of cat flu — nothing to worry about for a calm, stable home, but something to be aware of if you have other feline companions. This boy loves his independence and will need safe outdoor access once he’s settled, so he can enjoy the freedom he’s used to while always knowing he has a warm bed and loving human to come home to. Damien is the kind of cat who may not fall for you instantly, but if you have the patience to earn his trust, he will reward you with true companionship. If you think you can offer Damien the peaceful, loving home he deserves, please enquire.

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.
