Can You Offer a Cat a New Loving Home

Rspca Medway West Branch opened its first cattery in March 2004.

Within the first year we managed to find 200+ cats new loving home.

 

If you could offer a cat a home please contact

Penny on 01634 294831

to arrange an appointment to view. 

Cattery Based in Strood, Kent.

                     

Due to people cancelling cheques, all donations for re-homing must be cash only.

 

 

Donations

 

We ask for a minimum donation of 

 

£65 for a cat 7months and over

£70 for a kitten under 7 months 

£30 for a cat 10 years old +

 

Payment

 

By Cash Only

 

Due to the amount of cheques that have been returned to us unpaid, we now ask for the donation in cash only.

 

             

 

All cats that are adopted have had at least their 1^st 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 the cat has only had it's first vaccination when adopted, it is the responsibility of the adoptor to get the 2nd vaccination done at their own vets.

 

             

 

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.

Sausage

Sausage came in as a stray cat with a horrific injury to her tail, the fur and flesh was removed from the tail leaving the bone exposed and had to have a third of the tail amputated. We did trace her owner and they didn’t want her back so she is now looking for a new home. She is a very friendly, short haired, black cat and she was born February 2009. This affectionate little girl is now looking for a wonderful new home.

 

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

We ask for a minimum donation of £65 per cat

Poppy

Poppy came into us heavily pregnant, although she was still rearing two 10 week old kittens. Poppy is only a youngster herself, she was born in February 2009, she was extremely thin and was being signed over to us because they couldn’t home the two kittens and couldn’t afford another litter of kittens. Poppy soon gave birth to her second litter these have now been weaned and re-homed and Poppy is now hoping someone will offer her a new loving home. Poppy is a very petite, delicate, young cat. She is tabby and white, short coated cat, she is very loving and like lots of fuss and attention. She isn’t very keen on other cats, so would probably be best homed as an only cat.

 

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

Chester

Chester is a young, black and white, male, short haired cat. He came to us as he was involved in a road traffic accident, he had several scraps on his face, he needed his lip stitched and lost a few teeth, these where all minor injuries and soon recovered. We thought he might be claimed as he is a very sweet little boy, but without a collar and tag or an id chip and without anyone coming forward, this shy, loving boy is now looking for a new home. Chester is very nervous of new people and scared of being in the cattery but he will make a very loving pet, he has a very scary couple of month and just needs lots of tlc and a loving home.

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

We ask for a minimum donation of £65 per cat

Annie

Annie is a gorgeous tabby and white, short haired, 4-5 year old, female cat. She was taken to the vets as a stray with an injury to her right front leg, she was diagnosed with having several abscess on her leg and they need to be drained, flushed and cleaned, with a course of antibiotics she was soon fit and now looking for a new home. Annie has a wonderful character, although a little shy with new people, she is a real cuddle monster and loves to snuggle into your neck for a cuddle. We are very surprised nobody came forward for her and now hoping she get a new home very soon.

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

Lucky

Lucky was one of several cats left at a property when her owner moved. The cats had been left for several weeks to fend for themselves and when an inspector went to the property they were very scared and fled to the garden. Lucky was finally caught in a cat trap, she is a little nervous but is a lovely cat and just needs to build up her confidence which is growing on a daily basis. The owner was traced and the cats have now been signed into our care, Lucky is a black, semi long haired, female cat who was born in November 2008. Black cats are harder to re-home and because she is shy as well, we believe she is going to be with us for a while, but hoping that she will get less shy and be offered a forever home soon.

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

We ask for a minimum donation of £65 per cat

Cody

Cody is a white and black, female, short haired female cat, who was born in April 2009. Cody was heavily pregnant when she was signed over to the Inspector as the owners couldn’t care for her and didn’t want her or the kittens. She gave birth to 3 kittens that she has now raised and they have been re-homed, she was neutered and now looking for a new home. She is a very friendly cat, she needs some feeding up as very skinny after raising the kittens but has a healthy appetite and will soon put her weight on now she is away from her kittens. She is still very kitten like herself and like to have her bell tickled and run around chasing things.

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

We ask for a minimum donation of £65 per cat

Belle

Belle was taken into the vets after being found with a nasty injury to her left front leg. On examination the vet found a nasty bite wound that is believed to be a dog bite and after an x ray was taken the vet realised the leg had been fractured and the vet decided the best course of action was to amputate as the leg was extremely infected. Belle has adjusted to being a tripod, having three legs doesn’t stop her from getting around and she can be quite speedy to get to get back to her bowl at feeding time. She is a chunky cat and will need to watch her weight so she doesn’t get to fat and put extra stress on her other legs. Belle is a very friendly cat, she loves to be the centre of attention but because of this she doesn’t like sharing the attention with other cats and would prefer to be the only cat in a home. Belle is a short haired, tabby, female, who is approx 18 months – 2 years old.

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

We ask for a minimum donation of £65 per cat

 All new owners enter into an animal adoption agreement with us in which we clearly set out how we expect our animals to be looked after with the final reassurance that if, for whatever reason, it does not work out and the animal can no longer be cared for we expect the animal to be returned to us at Rspca Medway West.
