Molly came into rescue on 25 September with her kittens when they were less than 24 hours old.   She'd run into someone's house one rainy night and given birth in their cellar.  She's been a fabulous patient mum with them and they're growing into adorable, playful, confident kittens.  

There are 4 little girls: Maise, Morven, Mittens and Muffin and two boys: Marvin and Marty.  They've had quite a variety of visitors whilst in rescue so are used to meeting new people.  
Update 23 December:  Maise and Marvin are now reserved

They'll be microchipped and start their primary course of vaccinations this week.  Their second vaccination is on 21 December which means they'll be all ready to go off to their new homes once the hustle and bustle of Christmas is done ... and probably when your Xmas tree is safely back in the loft :)    You'll be welcome to visit them more than once in the run up to Xmas though if you'd like to start to bond with them and watch them growing up.  We're hoping for them to go in pairs though will consider them going singly if you have a friendly older cat to show them the ropes.

They're not yet spayed as they're not old enough.  It's part of our adoption agreement that they be spayed by the age of six months.   They'll need to be kept safely indoors until they've had her op.  After that they might enjoy a safe garden to play in, well away from any busy roads.  Although, as they have never been outdoors it may be that they could be content to be  indoor cats..

We always homecheck prior to adoption, and ask a minimum donation of £100 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.
