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.

Below are the current cats available for rehoming:
Daisy, DLH , 6 yrs
Please Don’t Let Daisy Be Overlooked
UPDATE : Daisy is a beautiful 6-year-old Domestic Long Hair who has now been with us at Danemere for around 8 months, and we can’t understand why she’s still waiting for her forever home.
When Daisy first arrived, she was a very nervous and reserved girl. The change in her life had clearly shaken her, and she would sometimes hiss when she felt unsure. But with time, patience, and kindness, Daisy has completely blossomed into a different cat.
Today, Daisy is full of personality. She now rolls over for attention, reaches out with her paws for fuss, and greets people with the sweetest little headbutts. She’s a purry, chatty girl who loves her treats and enjoys chasing after toys during playtime. Seeing how much she has grown in confidence has been incredibly special for everyone caring for her.
Daisy still appreciates affection on her own terms and can be a little tricky to read at times, so she would do best with an owner who understands cat body language and will give her space when she needs it.
Because we don’t know much about her previous history, Daisy would likely be happiest as the only pet in an adult-only home, where she can continue to thrive and build a strong bond with her person.
After waiting so long, Daisy truly deserves a home of her own. She has shown us how loving, affectionate, and special she is — now she just needs someone to give her that chance.
Could you be the one to finally take Daisy home?
Molly- DSH, approx 4 Yrs.
UPDATE: Molly came into our care at Danemere after being surrendered to the vets, as her elderly owner was sadly no longer able to care for her.
When Molly first arrived she was a little grumpy and unsure of her new surroundings, which is completely understandable after such a big change in her life. Thankfully, it didn’t take long for her to begin settling in, and as her confidence grows each day we’re seeing more and more of her personality.
Molly will now happily greet you with a soft little meow and politely ask for some fuss. She’s a big fan of gentle head scratches and enjoys attention, although she does like things on her own terms and will let you know when she’s had enough.
Molly can be a little feisty at times and can be tricky to read, and she may swipe if she feels overwhelmed or has had enough attention. Because of this, she would be best suited to a calm, adult-only home with no children, where her new owner understands cat body language and will respect her boundaries.
We have been told that Molly isn’t a fan of dogs, so she would need a dog-free home. She hasn’t lived with other cats before; however, we have been told she may be able to live with another calm cat. This hasn’t been tested while she has been with us, so a cat-free home would be ideal, although a home with a suitable resident cat may still be considered.
Molly has clearly been very well loved throughout her life and is currently a little on the chunky side. We are helping her work towards a healthier weight, and her forever family will need to continue supporting her on that journey.
Molly is a characterful girl who just needs the right understanding home where she can settle in and enjoy life again. With patience and respect for her boundaries, we know she will make a lovely companion.
Madam - DSH, 11yrs
Unfortunately Madams previous owners were moving and were unable to take Madam with them due to the new place not accepting pets. We know Madam as she has stayed with us previously as a boarder - she is a very sweet girl! Madam was very well loved and taken care of so this was extremely difficult and upsetting for the previous owner to have to make this decision however, we will find this little madam a purrrfectly loving home.
Madam frequently steals the hearts of the cattery visitors as she's such a lovely lady and oh so very chatty, everyone loves her!
- Had access to outside in previous home
- Very friendly and loving
- Has no experience with dogs / other cats
- No history with children however she would be absolutely fine as she's such a gentle soul but given her temperament and age would probably prefer a quieter, slower paced home with children 12+ rather than the buzz of a toddler/young child.
Betty Davis DSH, Approx 3 years
Betty Davis came to us as a stray, which sadly means we don’t know anything about her past. Everything here is still very new to her, and she is currently adjusting to life in the cattery.
When you first meet her she can be a little unsure and may give a hiss while she works out what is going on around her. From what we can tell, she seems to struggle to trust humans and may never have had a proper home before.
However, it doesn’t take long to see her softer side. In the short time she has been with us, it has become clear that underneath that initial nervousness she is a sweet girl who really just wants affection.
Once she begins to feel more comfortable, Betty Davis leans in for attention and gently nudges for a scratch, clearly enjoying the fuss and reassurance.
We estimate Betty Davis to be around 3 years old. She will most likely appreciate a home with access to both indoors and outdoors, although as we continue to get to know her better her requirements may change.
Betty Davis will need a patient and understanding home that can give her the time she needs to build trust and settle in. In return, we believe she has the potential to become a very loving and loyal companion.
Matilda- DSH, Aprox 1 year.
Matilda is a beautiful young cat, who is currently looking for a very special home where she can feel safe and live life at her own pace.
Matilda came into our care as a stray after sadly losing her kittens. Being quite young herself, we believe she most likely have never experienced the comfort of a real home or the love and security of a devoted owner. Because of this, she is understandably very shy, cautious, and slow to trust people.
She is still very new to the cattery and is taking time to adjust to her surroundings. As she begins to settle, we are hopeful that her confidence will slowly grow and that we will start to see more of her personality shine through. At the moment, she prefers quiet observation and needs time and space to feel secure.
We believe Matilda would be best suited to a quiet rural or farmhouse environment where she can safely explore, keep to herself when she wishes, and live a peaceful life. She would benefit from an understanding owner who accepts that she may never be a cat who seeks out cuddles or enjoys too much fuss. What Matilda truly needs is someone patient and kind who will allow her to build trust in her own time, while providing a warm bed, fresh food and water, and gentle companionship if and when she chooses it.
With the right environment and a compassionate owner, Matilda can have the safe and calm life she deserves. Even if she remains an independent soul, she will still benefit greatly from having a place where she is cared for, protected, and finally given the chance to feel secure.
Florence - DSH, 5/6 yrs approx.
Florence was originally found as a pregnant stray in Birmingham. A veterinary hospital took her in to assess and help her.
Sadly Florence lost all four of her kittens, likely due to stress and hunger. Florence was treated for an abscess on her shoulder prior to arriving in our care.
Florence is understandably nervous and needs a gentle home without young children.
Update: Florence has started to settle in to the cattery and although still nervous she has started to come out of her shell day by day. Flo can be wary but it doesnt take long for her to realise that she’s safe and can relax.
- Loves a head rub / cheek rub and will lean in and nuzzle and nudge
- TOP baker - Florence is very good at making biscuits and always has a batch ready to make, she kneads away in delight from a good massage.
Leo, DSH, 6 Years & Ronnie, DSH, 5 Years
Leo and Ronnie arrived at Danemere following a difficult decision by their previous owners. They were clearly very loved, but with a growing family, it was felt that finding them a new home would be best for everyone.
We are looking for a new family who can ideally take both boys together, as that is all they have ever known. However, if the right home comes along, we may consider rehoming them separately.
Both boys are very friendly in nature. They can be a little nervous at first, especially Ronnie (black and white), but he soon builds up the courage to come and say hello. Leo is the more confident of the two and is quick to nudge for attention.
They are still settling into cattery life, which is going well, and they particularly enjoy watching the world go by from the windows. They have been indoor cats and would be best suited to a home where they can continue to live safely indoors, or where they can be given the time and security to be slowly introduced to the outdoors if they choose.
Poppy - DSH
Poppy arrived under very distressing, sad conditions. Poppy was found after being dumped in a box with another (pregnant cat) along with a load of fly tipped waste.
Due to this we have no background information on Poppy however since she has arrived with us she has been very friendly and clearly has had a home before due to how comfortable she is with people.
- Enjoys a head rub, will nudge into your hand and stand up on her back legs to push into you, she's very sweet!
- Vocal girl - she likes to chat as you as she spots you she's meowing at you to say hello.
- She's a baker, a biscuit maker!
- Could possibly live with another cat
- We are unsure whether she has been around dogs before
- From her personality we would assume she would be ok with children in a home
Princess- DSH, 4 yrs
Princess has found herself with us due to her previous owners declining health and housing crisis. It was in her best interest to find a new home.
Princess was kept as an indoor cat in her previous home and has never ventured outdoors therefore she is not road aware at all so she would be best suited as an indoor cat with the potential to be housed in a quieter area where there are no busy road. If she was able to have the opportunity to explore we think that she might really like to.
Never been introduced to other cats / dogs.
We have very limited information on her personality and regarding her past so we can only go by what we have learned during her stay with us.
Princess is quite a reserved girl and can sometimes initially hiss though this is purely through uncertainty because as soon as she realises that you are no threat and you can actually offer some wonderful cheek rubs she relaxes and lets down her initial guard and gains her confidence with you pretty quickly.
Will update as we get to know Princess more..
Esme & Imogen - DSH, approx. 7 months
Esme & Imogen were brought to us after they were assumed strays who were wandering the local area for a while, because of this we have no information on either cat.
Sisters with two halves of the same face, they have opposite face markings it can be hard to tell these girls apart at first glance!
Despite being still very young and homeless, both Imogen and Esme are super friendly with people and enjoy a fuss. Esme tends to be a look out for any sounds or sudden movement and loves sitting in the cozy hide whilst Imogen is typically out and being very nosey - she likes to know what's going on and of course to get as much attention as she can.
13/05 - Will update with more information as we get to know them, they are still very new to the cattery.
