Top 10 Reasons to
Adopt an Older Cat »»
Harder to Home
Cats with minor health problems find it harder to be rehomed, yet rescue centres will often pay for their vet bills even after rehoming.
Shrinking Violets!

Cat Fostering
Would you like to care for a cat, but don't want the lifelong responsibility that goes with it? Many rescues rely on cat foster homes to care for cats 'between homes'. Could you be a cat fosterer? Find out more here Cat Fostering
Indoor Cats
Want a cat, but live in a flat? Although a cat's natural instinct is to go outside, some cats can be better suited to the indoor life: Cats with FIV, deaf cats, blind cats, or very nervous or elderly cats. Ask at your local Rescue Centre
