Homes Wanted

All our CATS at Inverness Cat Rescue are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and health checked, and new owners can take advantage of a 10% discount for the first year of Petplan insurance.

KITTENS are microchipped, wormed, vet checked, and vaccination is given if the kitten is aged 9 weeks or over. When rehoming a kitten we would always require a signed undertaking that neutering will take place at a time no later than that set out in the Adoption Agreement. We would also require a new owner to provide us with certification from their vet after the procedure has been undertaken. The cost of this procedure would be attributable to the new owner unless alternative arrangements have been made with us at the time of adoption.

We aim to continue our policy of asking for a donation when rehoming a cat or kitten. We ask that a donation (minimum £50)  is given on the day of adoption, which will help towards the cost of the vaccination, neutering, and microchipping programme which each cat is part of, and to enable us to continue helping more needy cats. Please remember that donations are our primary source of income, and only with these can we continue helping cats. However we will always base our decision on whether to rehome a cat on the quality of care the cat is going to receive rather than on the amount of money that we can generate from it.

If you would like further information on any of our cats, or would like to arrange a home visit, please contact us on 01463 226279 or at invernesscats@btinternet.com

Adult Cats

We usually have adult cats looking for permanent caring homes. Not all are featured on the website, so please call us to check on what we have. Some of our cats have had a really hard time, and are looking for a very special person who can show them the love that they have never known. Could you be the person to give one of these cats a second chance?

Our Accommodation

Our accommodation consists of purpose-built insulated cat cabins. They have electricity installed, and each cat has a heated bed in their ‘bedroom’ area, and has access to outdoors. All are provided with toys and are groomed and given individual attention each day.

Kittens are housed in kitten pens in our house where they can have frequent contact and handling from us, and also have the opportunity to be familiarised with everyday household noises (e.g. vacuum, washing machine, etc.) We specialise in hand-rearing orphaned kittens and have successfully reared many litters from the age of just a few hours old.

We also have isolation facilities to cater for ill cats or nursing mothers.

Cats Looking for a Home

LEO is a beautiful boy who is looking for an outdoor home on a croft, stables, or similar. He does not like to be handled, so needs a home where he can do his own thing and be admired from afar!

His new owner would need to have a secure weatherproof outbuilding where Leo would be based for several weeks before being allowed outside. He would then need 24hr access to his base, and he would need fed every day. He would reward his owner by keeping the rodent population at bay.

Leo came to us as a stray after we were notified about him in mid April. We believe he is a pure Bengal cat. He was not neutered, and he was infested with ticks and fleas when he arrived. His ears are damaged, probably through frequent fighting with other tomcats, but are not an ongoing issue. We have had him neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, and he is now in tiptop condition.

We did hope that Leo would eventually learn to trust us and allow us to befriend him, but he is not interested in any social interaction with us, and can get quite spicy if we attempt any physical contact. We feel that he is now ready to look for a permanent home where he can have the freedom he yearns for and deserves.

If you think you may be able to offer Leo a home where he can live a free, but semi-supervised life, or if you require further information, please email us at invernesscats@btinternet.com and include your address and contact phone number.

HUGO is a 2.5 year old black short-haired cat who is looking for a new home.

His present owner says……”He is a very affectionate boy, however, the reason for rehoming is that he doesn’t get along with his mum.  He constantly attacks her, torments her and is making her life a misery and it’s not fair on her.  He loves people, dogs and children.

He is both litter trained and cat flap trained. He is neutered and microchipped.  No health or behaviour problems.  He loves to hunt so would be suited to somewhere with lots of land to explore.  He absolutely loves our giant breed dog and I’m heartbroken to split them up.  They cuddle and play with each other constantly and are often found sleeping beside one another so a house with a large placid dog would be a bonus! He really is a sweet cat and if we could keep him then we would.”

He is registered at a local vet practice at present and has had his kitten and 1st year booster jabs and is regularly wormed.

Hugo is not in our care but is to be rehomed directly from his present home in the Inverness area. If you think you can offer him a permanent caring home please email us at invernesscats@btinternet.com telling us a bit about yourself and your location, and include your address and phone number.
