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:
Star - DSH, 7 yrs
This is Star because she is in fact, a little star!
Star had been brought in as a stray that had been living rough for a while so now she is looking for a cosy home to finally call her home.
She has now been with us for nearly 6 months and is often overlooked by visitors, we cant understand why, she would be a great companion, she just needs someone to understand her and give her the time and patience she needs. She loves a fuss (on her terms) and has such a bright, funny character, with a loud meow she always greets anyone who comes to see her!
She genuinely is such lovely cat, who was dealt a rough life before coming here! So, if you think you can give star a new place to call home please come up to see just how sweet and playful she can be!
Star is such a little cutie pie, she is very vocal and always has her tongue poking out which makes all of the staff laugh.
- Was (understandably) timid at first but now friendly!
- We are unsure on background regarding other pets so will need to be an only pet household
- Loves a fuss but will let you know when she would like to be left alone.
- Dreamies are the way to stars heart
Tootsie - DSH, 10 yrs
Tootsie arrived with us as her elderly owners were no longer able to care for her. Tootsie had lived with her owners for 10 years in a quiet and calm household.
Tootsie can be very loving once she trusts you, she just needs time and patience.
- Not been introduced to children
- Never been introduced to dogs
- Loves treats!
- Likes to have access to outside but doesn't stray far from home
- Likes a fuss but doesn't like being picked up
27/11 - Tootsie has cam eon leaps and bounds the more time she spends with us the more confident she becomes - she loves sitting on your lap and nuzzling into the nook of your arm to rub her head! Adores cuddles, likes to make biscuits on your lap.
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 6 cats 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.
Commet (M) & Vixen (F) - DSH, 1-2yrs approx.
Commet (black & white) is the most confident out of the 6, he loves people and adores a fuss - he even dribbles from enjoying a fuss that much!
Vixen also enjoys a gentle fuss.
Rudolph (M) & Prancer (M) - DSH, Approx. 1/2 yrs
Growing in confidence every day but still need more time to feel at ease enough to show their true personalities.
Blitzen & Cupid (M) - DSH, Approx. 1-2 yrs
Very nervous and scared.
Will need lots of patience and time for them to come out
Mikah & Simba - DSH, 7 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.
Bobby - DSH, 11 yrs & Sylvester - DSH, 14 yrs
Bobby and Sylvester arrived with us as their elderly owner was unable to care for them any more.
Both cats have had the option to explore the great outdoors however, only ever really pottered around the garden.
Bobby and Sylvester are super friendly boys and enjoy fuss and head rubs. Bobby likes to make biscuits and has a very distinct meow!
We fear many people will overlook these two gents due to their age but they still have lots of love to give and could offer someone a double the sense of love and companionship. They both just need a fuss, some tasty food and a warm bed to snuggle on.
Both carts would need to be rehomed into a quiet home / a home without young excitable children would be ideal.
Sylvester was seen regarding his cloudy eye in January this year and it was reported that although he had no vision - he had no pain. It does not seem to affect him at all - he is very able.
Tia - DSH, 6 yrs
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 incredibly 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.
Oreo- DSH,
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.
We will update as we get to know him.
