Keith & Kat, plus their sister Kian, arrived in rescue in their mum's tummy and were born a few days lateron 15 August.  Mum, Kedi, had been living on the streets and had a really tough time of it.  She's been a fabulous sweet patient mum and seems to really appreciate having a safe space to bring up her little ones.

UPDATE 30 December:  these two little ones are now reserved for adoption

We're hoping that two of them can go to a new home as a pair, though one will need to go separately .... unless they find a new home along with their mum.    They're affectionate, playful and quite confident kittens.  We think they'd be fine with children who are able to treat animals with respect, though we prefer to not home very young kittens with very young humans.  Keith is turning into rather a big tom cat already - but a lovely big soft boy.  Kat is (not surprisingly) smaller but very ready to purr when she has a snuggle. They both love playing and being silly.

They're now fully vaccinated and have been microchipped.   Obviously they've had any necessary flea and worm treatment.  It is a condition of adoption that they be neutered by  the time they're 6 months old and that they must stay safely indoors until this is done.

We always homecheck prior to adoption, and ask a minimum donation of £90 for each cat.. We're a small rescue so each cat and kitten in our rescue is well known to us and has the best care possible.  We ensure that they all are fully vaccinated and mictrochipped as well as having the usual health checks and parasite treatments - not all rescues do this.  Adoption typically takes 1-2 weeks from enquiry - taking on responsibility for an animal's lifespan is a bit commitment so we don't rush things.  After getting some basic info we arrange a homecheck to ensure that the home is right for that particular cat/s/kitten/s and then invite you to meet them .... to ensure they're right for you.  Once everyone is happy we can advise on what they will need and give details of what food and litter they've been used to so that they can have some continuity.  You'll then have some time to get things together for them before we bring them over to your house and stay with them a little while to help them settle and answer any questions.  We're very happy to keep in touch and advise / support through the rest of their lives if/when you feel this would be helpful ... though we don't chase people up without invitation once we know they're settled and that any kittens have been neutered.

Please note that although we are listed on Cat Chat in both South Yorkshire and Derbyshire, we only rehome in Sheffield and just over the border into Derbyshire.
