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 + - RESERVED
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.
IDEAL FARM CATS!
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.
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.
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.
Mabel has since been rehomed.
- Shy but very loving
- Free access to being outside
- Doesn't stray far from the house
- Loves a fuss
- Lovely cat
- Used to small children - however can be wary of them
Never been introduced to other animals
Zelda is adjusting to the cattery at the moment. Once she has settled in and gained her confidence we will take some more photos and update information.
Petra (White & Tabby) & Piper (Tabby) - 6 months
Sisters Petra & Piper arrived at our rescue centre looking for new homes due to their previous owner being unable to look after them. The girls were bought as a gift with hopes they would bring their owner some much needed company, although they were great company - the owners ill health meant it was a struggle to care for them adequately.
They haven't been with us very long and are currently adjusting and settling into the routine and getting to know their neighbours. However, so far both girl although they appear shy at first, love attention and lots of fuss.
- Friendly though timid at first
- Like to be groomed
- playful - small toys to chase and throw around with their paws!
- Have lived with children previously
- Have lived with 3 other male adult cats quite happily
- Petra is slightly more shy
- Piper is quite vocal and chatty
Although they do love one another, they do not need to be rehomed together.
Tinky - DSH, 18-20 yrs approx. RESERVED
Tinky has returned to Danemere many years after her first stay as her previous owner has sadly passed away.
Tinky is an older cat so we fear she may be overlooked however, she is such a sweet girl with so much love left to give. Tinky has the most unique meow (very different and distinctive!) and the loudest happy purrrs ever known!
Tinky's dream retirement home would be somewhere where there's a kind person around to give her all of the fuss she desires, a lap to lay on and a comfy spot where she can bathe in the sunshine.
- VERY purrrr'y and has such a distinct, unique meow
- Likes to chat
- Very friendly, confident and loving
- Doesn't mind being picked up
- HAs lived with other cats in previous home and a dog happily
WILL UPDATE with more information
Claude & Louie - DSH, 12/13 yrs approx.
Claude - medium sized / Louie - larger tabby
Brothers Louie and Claude were brought to us after their previous owner sadly could no longer care for them due to age related ill health.
- Described as calm, independent cats
- Can be shy and nervous but once they feel at ease with you they are very cuddly and sweet
- Like a gentle fuss, chin and head rubs!
- Very bonded brothers - ideally homed together
- Indoor cats only
Nervous at the moment - as expected, they are getting used to the sights and smells of the cattery. We will update with more information as they settle in.
Gary - DSH, 9 yrs
Gary is a very loving but nervous boy who struggles with change.
He was brought into our rescue due to his struggle with the new family dynamics- a very hard decision from the family, but ultimately they felt it was in Gary's best interests. Sadly Gary, in the last couple of years, has gone through a lot of change. Living with a growing family - having to adjust to two young children and moving houses has made poor Gary very anxious, reserved and unsettled in his home.
- Gary lived with another , older cat and they got along well
- Child free home or at least 12 yrs+ - understanding and calm children
- Likes to go in / out - would like access to the outside again in new home
- Adores affection
- Gary likes to make biscuits once he's comfortable enough to show off his baking skills with you
- Sweet boy, just needs some gentle reassuring and love
- Ok with being picked up / groomed but can be selective therefore it has to be on his own terms
Gary has started to settle into the cattery with the help of some reassuring staff members he gains his confidence and will come out from his hidey spots. However, he has only been with us a very sort while so he is still adjusting to the sound of his neighbours and getting used to the cattery but so far - he's smashed it, he's doing very well considering he's a delicate boy! Gary would be most suited to a quiet home, perhaps another older, calm cat for some company but mainly he would love a home where Gary could be the centre of attention once more. Gary deserves to feel confident and comfortable in himself and in his own home again.
