If you are interested in adopting a cat from Shetland Cat Rescue, before you do anything else you need to complete the form at the bottom of this page.

Currently there is are six cats available for adoption –

Sisters Ginger and Tabitha are looking for a permanent home.

They are both 3 months old and would be fine with other cats, but no young children or dogs, as they are still quite timid. They need a home with a family who has time and patience.

They love to play and need a home together, once they are settled they will be great company.

Bella is looking for a permanent home. She is around 5 months old and neutered. A bit nervous still, not keen on being picked up yet, but does like to be stroked. Needs a place without small children.

Teddy & Margo are eleven year-old sisters. A bonded pair of black cats, who are both spayed, vaccinated and up to date with flea and worm treatments. They have no health problems. They need a new, loving home together, as their owner is having to move and cannot take them with her.

This happy, easy going pair are gentle and loving cats, especially Margo, the smaller of the two. They are looking for a home without young children or other cats, but would possibly be alright with a small dog. They like to go out sometimes, but do not go far and are not used to roads, so somewhere away from traffic is essential. They must go to a home together.

She would like a home with no other pets or young children.

ADOPTION FORM

– read all the information first –

Please remember we want the absolute best for the cats in our care and we will advise accordingly, none of which is meant to cause offence. It is purely because our priority is the cat’s happiness and welfare. If we think your situation is not suitable, we reserve the right to reject your application.
Cats will be flea and worm treated, microchipped and neutered/ spayed before they are re-homed.
If a kitten is too young to be neutered/ microchipped, at the time of adoption, you agree to having this done at the recommended date.
An Adoption Fee of £50 per cat or kitten must be paid in full at the time of adoption using the methods of cash or via bank transfer. These fees go part way to cover the costs of the animal in Shetland Cat Rescue‘s care.
When you fill out our form below you certify the information you have given us is true and realise that any misrepresentation will result in you losing the privilege of adopting a cat.
If your pre-adoption application is successful, you must agree to a home check by one of our volunteers. These will take the form of an actual visit to your home. We expect all members of the household to be present when our volunteer performs the home check.
You need to have considered all aspects of pet ownership, including the costs of insurance, veterinary fees, food and care of the cat if you go away. Also, you must be prepared to accept the personal and financial responsibility of cat adoption.
We are not responsible for any health issues that arise after the adoption has been completed.
