If you are looking to give a home to a rescued cat from us, we’d be delighted to find the perfect match for you. Please email us and our adoptions team will be in contact for further details to help match you with a cat that’s suitable for you and your lifestyle.
Adopting a cat is not something to be undertaken lightly.
Cats can live as long as 15 years, sometimes longer, and SOS ARMS wants to ensure that any cats it places for adoption go to people who will provide them with an appropriate, clean, safe, family environment, will feed them properly, take care of them when they are sick, and will – above all – give them love until the end of their days.
To help ensure that the cat you adopt suits you, and you suit the cat, we may ask you a number of questions. For example:
• Do you have lots of time to entertain an energetic kitten?
• Or are you looking for an older, calm cat to cuddle up to?
• Do you have an outdoor space that your cat can explore safely? Or is your home big enough for an indoor-only cat?
• Is the boundary of your garden strong and high enough to keep dogs out?
• Do you already have a pet? If so, what kind of temperament does your existing pet have? If you have a dog, how is your dog with cats?
• Do you have young children?
All of SOS ARMS’s animals are sterilised and fully vaccinated. Cats are generally very clean animals and all of the cats at the SOS ARMS shelter are accustomed to using a litter tray.
