Due to the amount of cheques that have been returned to us unpaid. Any cheque issued must be accompanied by a cheque guarantee card. If the cheque is still returned to us by the bank, administration charges will be invoiced.

 

             

 

All cats that are adopted have had at least their 1st vaccination (2nd if they have been with us more than 3 weeks), been microchipped,  neutered or come back to us for neutering at the appropriate age, wormed and de-flead.

 

             

 

If you compare this to the price you could pay at a private vet

 

 Neutering £50 - £60 
 1st Vaccination £25 - £40 
 Microchip £20 - £30 
 Flea Treatment (per month) £5 - £10 
 Worming (per month)  £3 - £5

 

Of course this doesn't take into account a lot of cats coming into us either are injured or sick and can run up large vet bills. Also the food, litter and general costs of caring for a cat.

Todd

Todd was taken to the vets as a stray with a large abscess on his face, although his only young (approx 2 years old) the vets wanted to put him to sleep as they said he was aggressive and he was un re-homable. Todd is a big, chunky, tabby and white male, he isn’t aggressive but he can be grumpy, he will occasionally hiss and a rare occasion he slaps but this isn’t aggression it is fear and he doesn’t like being penned. He needs to feel secure and when he does he is extremely lovable, has a wonderful purr and even loves his belly rubbed. Todd does need an understanding home without young children, he wants a home he can call his own and a garden as he wants to go out. The perfect home would be the making of this cat and he just deserves a chance. Can you give Todd a new home??

Todd is fully vaccinated, neutered, micro chipped, wormed and de-flead.

Janae

Janae is a very sweet, young black female cat with a white flash on her throat. As like the majority of the black cats in our cattery she is being overlooked through no fault of her own. She is a very loving cat and would make an ideal pet for any home. She is sweet natured and still very young, she was born approx August 2007. She came to us as a stray and the gentleman shed she had been living in realised she was heavily pregnant and though given birth outside wasn’t the best thing for her.

She has now had her kittens, they have been homed and she is looking for a new home for herself.

Freeway

Freeway is a chunky little, black and white kitten looking for a loving home with either another kitten or another cat as she loves feline attention and enjoys playing and chasing other cats. She is a special kitten as she came to us when she was 4-5 weeks old when she was found on the bank of the M2 motorway with cars rushing past her. She was so lucky she wasn’t killed and we have no idea how she got there as she isn’t a feral cat, she is too loving and affectionate and use to human contact. She was born in April 2008 and is a porky little girl who lives for her food, she will eat constantly if she could, but she has a fabulous character and would make a fantastic addition to any household.

She has had her 1st vaccination, been micro chipped, wormed, de-flead and will be neutered at our clinic when she is 6 months old.

Kittens

 We have several litters of kittens looking for new homes. They are all roughly around the same age and all seem to bond well with other litters. Before taking a kitten we ask people to consider Kittens are like children and need company, they do not like being left alone and will become destructive if left alone for long periods. If you are working we suggest you take two kittens so they can keep one another for company, unless you have an existing cat so the kitten has feline company and doesn’t get lonely.

We ask for a £70 donation per cat under 6 months old.

 The donation covers the cost of their 1st vaccination,some may be fully vaccinated (if they have only had their 1st vaccination it is down to the adoptee to get the nd vaccination done), been micro chipped, wormed, de-flead and the donation will also include the neutering of the kitten when 6 months old. To have this done at the vets would cost over £100. 

At 6 months old the kitten(s) will need to come back to our clinic at 174 Walderslade Road, Chatham, Kent to be neutered (this is included in the donation fee) on a Tuesday or Thursday.

6 Kittens and Bodie

We had a litter of 7 black short haired kittens that were brought to us by an inspector. Their mum was chucked out of her home just before she was due to give birth as the women thought if she gave birth outside it wasn’t her responsibility to find homes for the kittens. The neighbour made a bed for the cat in his shed and that is where she gave birth, after constant attempt of the neighbour trying to get the owner to take responsibility for the cat and kittens and basically getting ignored he called the RSPCA and we got them signed over. These kittens were born in April 2008, there are 3 girls and 4 boys (one girl has been re-homed). The boys are very friendly and playful, the girls are friendly but a little shy.

Bodie is a little black and white kitten  who came in to us because he was an unwanted gift. He was born April 2008 and is a small kitten. He is friendly but quite independent but very playful. He has been living with the above kitten since his been in with us.
