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.

PIXIE is a 6yr old tabby female who is looking for a new home because of a change in her owner’s circumstances. She is spayed, microchipped, and her vaccinations are up to date.

Her present owner says….. “Pixie is a petite, short haired tabby, with a lovely, curious nature, and we have had the pleasure of her company since she was a kitten. She loves nothing more than being out and about, but is also very affectionate and loves her cuddles. She is usually happy to be groomed, and as long as you give her a treat to distract her, she is easy to dose with her flea/tick/wormer treatment, on the back of her neck. She would need to be rehomed in a rural environment, having never been around urban areas, or heavy traffic. She is a very good hunter, and loves to play with string at the end of a stick…we tried other bought toys, but the stick and the string is the way to go. We can provide any prospective owners with her stick, and her preferred string! Our only reason for rehoming her is a change in personal circumstances, and we will sorely miss her bright little self.”

Pixie is not in our care but is to be rehomed directly from her present home in the Beauly area.

If you think you can offer her 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.

 

 

 

SPIKE is a sprightly 21 years old! He is looking for somebody to foster him until mid September. His ‘mum’ is moving to the south of England, and is unable to take him to the temporary accommodation that she will be in. However her son will be able to take care of Spike from around the middle of September.

Spike is a friendly boy who sleeps a lot but still enjoys life and loves his food. His owner will be happy to pay for any expenses incurred for Spike whilst he is being fostered (vet, food, etc.). He is not on any medication at the moment.

If you think you may be able to give temporary care to Spike please email us at invernesscats@btinternet.com and include your address and contact phone number.
