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.

 

 

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.

Hobo is a male, mainly black cat with a white flash on his chest. He came to us when his owners moved and left him behind. He ended up living outside for a couple of months as kept given us the slip when we went out to get him, but now safe in the cattery and looking for a new home. Hobo is approx 2 years old, friendly although can be a little wary of new people, but he curiosity of getting attention usually overcomes his shyness.

He has had his 1st vaccination, been neutered, micro chipped, wormed and de-flead.

We ask for a donation of £65 per cat

Bailey is a very friendly, male, short haired, tabby cat. He came in because his owner became allergic to him. He is very affectionate, he likes lots of love and attention and just wants a home where he can get plenty of fuss. He has lived with other cats, a dog and young children. Bailey was born in 2006, he is a fairly laid back cat and settled into the cattery very quickly and wants to be everybody’s friend.

He has had his 1st vaccination, been neutered, micro chipped, wormed and de-flead.

Ella is a chunky torti female, who is approx 5 years old. She was picked up by an animal collection officer as she had been straying and had a severe skin allergy. When taken to the vets they believed it to be an untreated flea allergy and with a steroid injection and proper flea treatment her fur has grown back. She is a typical torti and enjoys a fuss when she want it but is a busy cat and is always on the move. She is very shy of new people and because of this she is always overlooked in the cattery. Ella favourite thing is food, she will do anything for food and this is why she is on the plump side.

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

We ask for a donation of £65 per cat

Ted is a young, ginger and white, male cat. We are still puzzled why he is with us, he was taken in to a vets and left, we assume he was a stray and thought someone would come forward for him. He had a few fight wound to his head and he was thin, but very affectionate and friendly and we believed he would be claimed. He has now been with as for sometime and as no owner has come forward we will have to find this young lad a new home. Ted is approx 18 months old, he is a little sweetheart who wants nothing more than lots of fuss and plenty of attention.

He has had his 1st vaccination, been neutered, micro chipped, wormed and de-flead.

RSPCA Medway West Branch has many kittens looking for new homes. We have a variety of colours, although most are kittens are male, we do have a few females also looking for new homes.

Before thinking about taking a kitten from us please read the information below.

Kittens are like children and need company, they do not like being left alone and will become destructive if left alone too long. If you are working we suggest you take two kittens so they can keep one another company or if you have an existing cat so the kitten doesn’t get lonely.

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. The Cat will need to be at the clinic between 8.30am – 9am (no later) and will need to be collected between 1pm – 1.30pm. If you refuse to get the kitten neutered or a female kitten gets pregnant you will be in breach of the adoption contract and we will remove your adopted cat and any kittens that it may have from your care.
We ask for a donation of £70 for kittens under 6 months old, they will have had at least their 1st vaccination (the adopter is responsible for the 2nd if not done), they will be micro chipped, de-flead, wormed and their neutering will be done at 6 months old.
If you wish to get the kitten neutered at your own vet the donation fee will drop to £60 but proof must be sent to us when the kitten has been neutered, failure to neuter will mean we will take the cat away under breach of contract.

   

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

 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.
