CAT ADOPTION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Before adopting a dog you must be able to comply with certain conditions under the RSPCA’s re-homing policy
Please note: Due to the amount of requests that we receive daily for assistance with payment of veterinary bills, this Centre DOES NOT NORMALLY home animals to persons on income support. Persons intending to seek assisted veterinary treatment from the PDSA or similar Charities will also be refused.
Mount Noddy does not normally home animals to families with children under 5 years of age.
In order to qualify for adoption you must:
- Live in ground floor accommodation with direct access to your own garden.
- Provide in writing, permission from your landlord if you do not own your own home.
- Not intend adopting the cat as a present or on behalf of someone else.
- Bring all household members to meet the cat and agree to the adoption.
- In the case of kittens under 4 months of age, you must be at home most of the day, popping in for short intervals during the day is not acceptable).
- Be able to afford private veterinary fees (we strongly recommend taking out pet insurance).
- Be over 18 years of age.
Ask yourself these questions
- Have you any known allergies?
- Are you pregnant or planning to have a family in the near future?
- Would an animal fit into your lifestyles in years to come?
- If you go away is there someone to look after the animal or can you afford boarding fees (approximately £6-£7 per day)
Home Visits
Once you have completed an application form and chosen an animal, if your details comply with the above, you will be visited by a voluntary home visitor to check the details on the form are correct. These visits take 4-7 days to arrange (sometimes longer if you live out of our area).
WE MAY FEEL THAT A HOMECHECK IS NECESSARY BEFORE A DOG IS RESERVED, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE AN ADOPTION AT ANYTIME, WITHOUT NECESSARILY GIVING A REASON OR IF WE FEEL THE CAT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOU.
Adoption fees: Cats £45, Kittens £60. This includes microchipping, worming, de-fleaing and vaccinating. All cats are neutered before leaving the Centre and kittens will go out on a neutering voucher.
