Meet Skipper

Skipper is a handsome, nice-natured boy who’s ready to find a place to truly call home.

Found as a stray, Skipper is used to having the freedom to explore the world around him. Because of this, he doesn’t enjoy being cooped up in small spaces and would be happiest in a home where he has safe outdoor access and the freedom to roam once he’s settled in. A secure garden or free roam will be essential for this independent lad.

Skipper has a lovely temperament and a quiet confidence about him. He’s the kind of cat who will take life in his stride and show you just how perfect he can be. With the right home and a little time to adjust, he’ll reward his new owner with companionship, loyalty, and plenty of charming moments.

If you’re looking for a well-rounded, good-natured cat who enjoys both his independence and the comfort of a home to return to, Skipper could be your ideal match. 🖤

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.
