Meet Mavis

Meet Mavis, a lovely young lady in search of her new home

Mavis was found as a pregnant stray and dumped at a vets. She was safely brought into our care and placed in a loving foster home, where she could raise her babies.

Now her kittens are old enough, they have found their new forever homes, but Mavis is still waiting

As she’s just a baby herself at 8 months old, she wants a loving family to call her very own

Mavis isn’t the biggest fan of other cats, so would suit best in a home where she can be the only feline & soak up all your love & attention

Due to being a stray, she will need safe outdoor access in her new home once settled in

Could Mavis be the one for you?

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.
