Willow
INDOOR ONLY HOME.
DOB 2022
Willow is a beautiful, gentle girl who is settled into the chaos of rescue life.
She is easy to groom and handle, and although she can be shy and timid at first, she responds well to gentle love, patience, and a calm environment. Once she feels safe, her sweet nature starts to shine through.
Willow has only ever been an indoor cat, so her next home must continue this. She is not suited to outdoor access.
She would be best suited to a quiet home with an older single person or couple, as this is the type of environment she is used to. Willow will need someone patient who understands that shy cats need time, routine, and kindness to truly feel at home.
June
She is a shy, sensitive soul who is still learning that the world can be a safe and gentle place. Because of this, she will need a home that understands patience, quiet routines, and slow, steady progress.
She is not an “instant lap cat,” but she will be a deeply rewarding companion for the right person. With time, consistency, and calm handling, her personality will continue to unfold — and watching her grow in confidence is something truly special.
She will thrive in a home that offers patience, routine, and understanding. If you believe love is something built slowly and gently, June may be the perfect companion for you.
Remi
Will need patient one on one time, once trust has been formed she is lovely.
Remi is an interesting wee girl who will need patience and time,
Born wild she has come a very long way and sees people have potential. She will play and intereract but avoids pats and cuddles. this will come with time and patience.
Joan
3 years old
Female
Joan is a beautiful 3-year-old torbie girl with an independent nature and very clear priorities in life: breakfast, sunshine, warm naps, and a calm home to enjoy them in.
She is not a needy cat and would be quite happy with people who work during the day, as long as she is fed before they leave and has a cosy spot to spend her time sun chasing. Joan enjoys having people around, but she is more of a companion cat than a lap cat.
She would suit a home looking for a calm, low-maintenance friend who is happy to share space, keep you company, and live life on her own terms.
Millie
Female
Jan 2026
I am a black-and-white female kitten who was found living under someone’s deck. I started life as a feral little girl, so people, cuddles, and all that touching business are still a bit strange to me.
What I do understand very well is food, toys, and playing with other kittens. I am curious, clever, and improving every day. I am slowly learning that people can be kind, gentle, and safe.
When I first move into my new home, I will need a small, quiet space to anchor myself to. A cosy room with my bed, food, litter tray, toys, and hiding places will help me feel secure while I learn the new sounds, smells, and people around me.
Once I know I have a safe place to return to, my confidence can begin to grow. I may be shy at first, but with patience, gentle handling, and time to settle at my own pace, I have all the makings of a wonderful, playful little companion.
I just need someone who can see the brave kitten hiding underneath and give me the safe beginning I need to blossom.
Ester has a home
I am a beautiful 18-month-old long-haired girl with a timid but oh-so-sweet nature.
I may be a little shy when I first meet you, but once I feel safe, my gentle personality shines through. I love a cuddle and enjoy being close to my people once I know I can trust them.
I have previously lived in a multi-cat home with dogs, so I may suit a home with other calm, respectful animals. I can be a little jumpy with loud noises, but I recover well and just need a patient home that understands I may need a little time to settle.
I would do best in a quieter home with kind people who will let me come out of my shell at my own pace. With patience, love, and gentle handling, I will make a very sweet and loving companion.
Hiss
Nov 2025
Female
Hiss is a black female kitten, born in November 2025, with a strong sense of personal boundaries and a very clear idea of how life should run.
Despite her name, Hiss is not aggressive — she simply does not want to be touched or handled. She is a professional little freeloader who would like food, toys, warm sleeping spots, and a household to quietly judge from a safe distance.
She will happily play with you and enjoys toys, but affection needs to be on her terms — which may mostly mean no touching, thank you very much. Hiss is also very likely to supervise and judge your dinner service, especially if it is late or not up to standard.
Hiss is best suited as an indoor-only cat, as she does not have outdoor smarts. She would suit a patient home that understands some cats are companions in their own unique way, even if they are not cuddly.
Heather has a home.
Jan 2025
Female
Heather is a wonderful, friendly cat with a playful and loving nature. She absolutely adores people and enjoys being part of whatever is happening around her.
She is affectionate, social, and full of personality, making her a lovely companion for someone wanting a cat who enjoys attention and interaction. Heather is playful and happy to spend time with her humans, whether that is joining in with daily life or simply keeping you company.
Heather does sometimes lack some litter tray etiquette and may poop in places she should not, so she would be best suited to an indoor/outdoor home where she has safe access outside. With the right home and understanding people, Heather will be a loving and entertaining companion.
Rowan
DOB 2025
Female
Rowan is a beautiful 15 month -old Grey and white girl with an independent nature and very clear expectations in life. Rowan does not have owners — she has staff.
Her ideal staff will feed her before leaving for work, provide suitable sun-chasing spots, and then allow her to spend the day enjoying warm naps and a peaceful home. She is quite happy with people who work during the day and does not need constant attention to feel secure.
Rowan enjoys having people around, but she is more of a companion cat than a lap cat although has been known to enjoy a good pat and snuggle at meal times. She will happily share your space, keep you company, and supervise life from a comfortable distance.
She would suit a calm home looking for a low-maintenance feline housemate who knows exactly what she likes and is not afraid to remind you.
Whisper has a home.
DOB 2022
Whisper is a shy, timid soul who will need time to feel safe in her new home. She is not the type of cat who will walk in full of confidence on day one. She will likely hide away at first while she works out that she is safe, and her new family will need to be patient and let her settle at her own pace.
With a quiet indoor-only home, gentle reassurance, and people who understand that shy cats can take weeks or even months to truly blossom, Whisper will thrive.
Once comfortable, Whisper is easy to groom and handle, and she enjoys calm, gentle affection. She is a soft-natured girl who needs kindness, routine, and a peaceful environment.
Whisper has only ever known a peaceful indoor lifestyle, and we are looking for a home that understands shy cats need time, patience, and unconditional love to truly blossom
Cleo
August 2025
Female
Cleo is a tabby and white girl, born in August 2025. She has a pretty white tip on her tail and a quiet, cautious nature.
Cleo is shy and evasive with people, so she will need a very patient home that understands she may take a long time to settle and may never become a cuddly lap cat. She is best suited to someone who is happy to let her come around in her own time, without pressure or expectation.
Because Cleo prefers to keep her distance from people, she may be better suited to a safe barn, lifestyle, or semi-social home where she has shelter, regular food, and care, while still being allowed the space and independence she needs.
Cleo is looking for a special home that understands not every cat wants to be handled, but every cat still deserves safety, kindness, and a place to belong.
Cecil
Cecil is a big, handsome boy with a fondness for the good life. He loves his food, enjoys his comforts, and has a soft spot for people who make him feel safe and loved.
Cecil arrived as a stray, but once he realised he was safe, he made the very sensible decision to stay. He is a real ladies’ man with a loving nature and a big heart. He just wants a home where he can be adored, well fed, and treated like the special boy he knows he is.
Cecil is happy around other cats, but he is not suited to a home with dogs or children. He would do best in a calm adult home where he can relax, enjoy attention, and live the comfortable life he has clearly decided he deserves.
If you are looking for a big, affectionate boy who knows how to appreciate love, food, and a cosy spot, Cecil may be the one for you.
