If you are interested in rehoming one of our cats
Please give us a call first to discuss whether you are suitably matched and we can then arrange an appointment to meet your chosen cat.
The rescue is open to the public for viewing between 11.30am - 3.30pm daily. You need to make an appointment via telephone prior to arrival. Then report to reception on arrival and a member of staff will show you to the cattery. The fee for adopting a cat is £75.00. They are all vaccinated, microchipped, de-flead, wormed and neutered (if old enough) and vet checked.
If you have seen a cat on our website / Instagram / Facebook page that you are interested in please give us a call on 01905 345655 to discuss whether they are still available. Please be aware that we are unable to reserve any animal via phone or email. You will have to visit us and meet the animal before we can reserve the animal to you and start the adoption process.
Upon arrival please report to reception and a member of staff will be able to show you the cattery.
If you would like more information please visit our homing procedures page.
Below are the current cats available for rehoming:
Koda - DLH, approx 8 yrs +
Koda was found as a stray and kindly brought to us. We checked for a microchip to see who he belonged to but unfortunately he was not chipped therefore we have no history regarding him or his background.
Koda is a very confient boy who loves making new friends once he's already given you the sniff test to approve your friendship- 'pssspssspss' at him and he'll come straight over to you to say hello. Koda loves a head and cheek rub and will lean his head and whole weight into your hand and lay down to truly enjoy the fuss and attention.
Koda is giving all the angles in his photographs - a true model, its giving powerful, majestic, playful and cute.
We will update with more information as we get to know Koda and his personality shines through even more.
The following 2 cats (we have since rehomed the other 4) came to Danemere from another rescue who reached out to see whether we could help them as they were struggling with space after they had saved over 20 cats from a hoarder home. Due to their past and now being moved around and in strange new places with lots of new smells - they are very wary of people and are still settling in to cattery life. Some have settled in quicker than the others, they just need a lot of love and time.
We will update as the days/weeks progress and we have more personalised information on the individual cats.
Blitzen & Cupid (M) - DSH, Approx. 1-2 yrs
Very nervous and scared.
Will need lots of patience and time for them to come out
*28/1 update*
Blitzen and Cupid must have been through a lot in their previous home. They are the most confident and comfortable when they know its breakfast time or dinner time (they have their priorities right and know how to play to the humans!). At breakfast/ dinner time they will run up to you, meowing and will allow you to get very close to them however, once food time is over they are back to being very nervous accompanied by some hissing and fear body language.
Dreamies are the way to their hearts - with the help of dreamies they have started showing an interest in a bit of fuss.
We feel as though Blitzen and Cupid could still potentially live in a home - they just need the right kind of person, a special kind of person who will encourage, be patient and never give up on the hope that one day you gain their trust. Someone that can see the positives and understands that with these two, the best thing you can do is to give them time.
Could be re-homed separately however, they do snuggle up together and seem to like each others company and they lived with 20+ cats in their previous home so they would definitely be more comfortable with a feline friend around.
If you think you could open your heart to these two please give us a call on 01905345655 or visit us today from 11:30 - 3:30.
Mikah & Simba - DSH, 8 months
Brothers Mikah and Simba came to Danemere due to their previous owners financial difficulties and being unable to cover the costs of neutering etc.
Both cats are extremely friendly and absolutely adore fuss and cuddles, they both like being picked up and carried for a closer cuddle.
Will update as we get to know them on a more personal level.
Tia - DSH, 6 yrs - RESERVED
Tia came in as the previous owner was too old to care for Tia adequately.
Tia was originally brought to Ambleside vets as a presumed stray however as she was chipped the vets contacted Tia's owner and they were told that they no longer wanted her and told them to 'put her to sleep'. Tia is healthy and this was not at all something they were comfortable with and that's when they decided to contact us to see whether we could help poor Tia as her future was at steak! Hearing that, of course we were happy to have her signed over in to our care.
Tia is timid at the moment but does like a gentle fuss, she will pop her head out of her bed to say hello and then retreat back to the comfy secure den.
We are sure in time Tia will gain her confidence and show us different sides of her personality - it just takes time and patience.
Only pet household all of her life - we are unsure whether she would be ok with other pets.
Tia has only ever been an indoor cat.
28/01 - UPDATE
Tia has definitely gained her confidence with the staff- she no longer feels the need to hide away! Tia loves to greet you for a fuss and has really started to show us what a wonderful companion she will be to someone.
Oreo- DSH, Approx. 16 months - RESERVED
We have no history on Oreo as he was brought in as a non chipped stray who had unknowingly moved in to a families shed, he was only noticed as he was stealing the hedgehog food!
Oreo is very friendly and is a lovely boy. He was clearly once a much loved pet who perhaps just wandered too far. Oreo is extremely friendly and happy to see everyone that visits! He is loud boy with a big personality that we are sure will bring light to anyone life. He loves his food and is sure to be a great companion!
Angus - DSH, 8 months Approx. RESERVED
Angus was brought to us as the previous owners landlord would not allow cats and we do not have an awful lot of information regarding Angus' history unfortunately.
Beautiful boy Angus has such a lovely little personality - he is super friendly and loving.
Angus absolutely adores humans and having a fuss and cuddle. He enjoys it so much he produces the most sweetest, heart warming chirps and purrs!
- Kept indoors only in previous home
- Confident
- Likes to be groomed
- Never been introduced to dogs
- Does not like other cats, would be best on his own, with plenty of human company 🙂
- Happy, friendly, loving boy!
- Good with children
Marmaduke - DSH, 7yrs - RESERVED
Originally Marmaduke was dumped and left abandoned on a farm to fend for himself. Marmaduke was microchipped and the previous original owners were contacted but to no avail. A lovely couple who lived near by had started to feed him until he inevitably decided to move in with them and make their house a home!
2 years on, unfortunately they have had a change in circumstances and are moving house and unfortunately cannot take Marmaduke with them.
- Very friendly
- Loves a fuss
- Playful
- Indoor & outsdoor cat - he has not used to cat flaps, he was able to go in and out as he pleased via a door
At the moment Marmaduke is very new and settling into the cattery - he is adjusting so we will add more information as the days go on.
Mabel (5yrs, Tortie) & Zelda ( Black & White, 10yrs) - DSH
Zelda originally came from Danemere 5 years ago, Mabel was not originally from us - she was bought separately from a kitten. They have came to us as the owners had a change in housing circumstances and have had to make the difficult decision in rehoming them.
Zelda:
- Shy but very loving
- Free access to being outside
- Doesn't stray far from the house
- Loves a fuss
- Lovely cat
Mabel:
- More adventurous
- Likes being outside
- More wary of the children
- Loves a fuss.
Both used to small children - however can be wary of them
Never been introduced to other animals
Both Mabel and Zelda are adjusting to the cattery at the moment. Once they have settled in and gained their confidence we will take some more photos.
Foxy - DLH, 3 yrs
Foxy arrived at Danemere as the previous owner has gone into respite care. Unfortunately the owners son, who brought Foxy in had little information to tell us regarding his background so we do not have any history on Foxy.
So far, the very handsome Foxy has been confident and very friendly. He is affectionate and loves a fuss.
- Loves a cheek and chin rub
- Very purry!
Foxy has only been with us a couple of days so he is still in the settling in period, we will update as soon as we get to know him and his personality more.
