Meet Sprinkles

Sprinkles is a tiny kitten with a big journey ahead of him. Sprinkles was found alongside his brothers, Icing and Cupcake, abandoned and alone on a business estate. With no mum to guide or protect them, the trio huddled together for warmth and safety, doing their best to survive the only way they knew how. Because of this difficult start, Sprinkles is currently very frightened of people. He hasn’t had the chance to learn that human hands can be kind, and his first instinct is to hiss or hide to protect himself. He’s not ready to be stroked or cuddled – but what he is ready for is a fresh start with someone who understands that building trust takes time. Sprinkles needs a calm, experienced cat owner who can offer him a peaceful home and the patience to help him grow at his own pace. He’s not the kind of kitten who will immediately seek affection, but with consistent care and gentle guidance, we believe he has the potential to come out of his shell and learn what it means to feel safe. Sprinkles may not show it yet, but inside that frightened little frame is a kitten who just wants to feel secure, respected, and loved. If you can offer Sprinkles the quiet, supportive environment he needs to blossom, please get in touch. *Helping a scared kitten learn to trust is one of the most rewarding things you can do.*

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.
