Apply online to adopt Wrigley

Wrigley was a stray who was brought into us after being found in Holcombe Brooke. At the moment he is very jumpy and just simply scared about his new surroundings. He isn’t adjusting well to sanctuary life so we are looking for Wrigley to find his forever home as quickly as possible. This home would be one with outdoor access, as this is what he is used to, and without any dogs, due to his timid nature. We have been told that he is okay to live with calm teenagers and with other cats, who would accept another feline friend. As he is timid and scared, his new owners will be required to have time and patience with this little fella. After all, he hasn’t had the best start in life and he thinks all humans are bad. It’s our chance to show him this is not the case, and good owners do exist. We think a lovely boy is hiding under his scared facade, and with the right environment, we are sure this would happen one day for him.

Apply online to adopt Betsy

Beautiful Betsy came into us after being found as a stray. She’s a lovely little lady with lots of personality and love to give. We have been told she is good with dogs and cats so could potentially live with either of them however we are unsure on how she is with chlildren so ideally any children she gets rehomed with are ages eight or above. Once settled, Betsy would like access outside.

Apply online to adopt Kreuger & Voorhees

Kreuger and Voorhees are a closely bonded pair who were brought in to us after being dumed in a box in a car park. We don’t know much about their history though we feel with their confident personalities, they’d make the perfect family pet potentially with another cat and possibly the right dog. They are full of energy and fun and will definetly keep you entertained all day closely followed with lots of snuggles. Once settled, the boys would require outdoor access.

Apply online to adopt Ethal-Honeydew

Ethal is one of the seven that were unfortunately brought into us with cat flu back in January. She spent weeks in our isolation unit before finding a loving a home with a great owner months after she arrived. Unfortunately, Ethal has had to be returned to the sanctuary as she was not happy being kept as a house cat like we originally thought. She is still the same beautiful, sweet little lady she always was! Often Ethel loves her human company more than her food and will sometimes ignore her food in exchange for cuddles! Although she does not react towards the other cats here, she will now be a carrier of the virus, so it is safer for all if she is the only pet in her new home. We believe a peaceful environment where she is able to be centre of attention is just what Ethel needs! Despite having limited road sense, Ethal will require access to the outdoors due to the reason of which she was brought back to us.

Apply online to adopt Wednesday & Fleur

These pretty ladies came to the sanctuary as their owner was moving. Wednesday is a relaxed princess, often sleeping the day away but is soon wide awake when she knows some loving is on offer, Fleur can be little more withdrawn but can soon be purring once she’s having her head stroked. They were both described as cuddly and lapcats in their previous home so we know they are keen to find a home to get all the affection they so desire. They have been around children in the past but as we feel they would like the quiet life, a home with children aged 8 years plus and no dogs, however we do not know what they are like with other cats. Once settled, the duo will need outdoor access. The sisters are currently a little timnid but we know that given the time to settle, thy will become a confident couple.

Apply online to adopt O’Malley

Its O’Malley time! This cheeky chappy has been with us for quite some time now. He came to us back in April as a stray. He has been a friendly, affectionate boy since day 1 and has been a staff favourite ever since! He has sadly had mystery medical issues for a few months and after many tests and head scratching it turns out he has food allergies! O’Malley requires a diet with no peas, chickpeas, duck, soybean. Unfortunately, due to the length of time being unwell, he now has a very sensitive stomach and suffers from bouts of occasional diarrhoea. After deliberation, we know its now time for this handsome gent to get out of here and into his forever home. He is very affectionate, constantly craving attention and we know he’d be the perfect lapcat. O’Malley is very food driven, but we are hoping this may calm down in a home environment. A home where there is someone home often would be ideal so he can get all the attention he needs and deserves and with outdoor access to burn of some energy.

Apply online to adopt Bakewell Tart

Got extra room for dessert? This lovely lady is Bakewell Tart. As you can see, she is a gorgeous lady who is looking for a home where she can recieve endless cuddles and atention. Suprinsngly, she was brouhgt into us being a stray after some lovely people who were feeding her here and there, realised she had no home, no shelter, and (most importantlyy) no warm lap. Whilst she is 13 years old, boy does she have so much love to give still. As she was a stray for some time, we aren’t aware on her reactions toward children, dogs or other cats just quite yet. So we are open to rehoming her with the possibiliy of other animl companions with an understanding owner who will comprehend that it may take Miss Bakewell some time to get used to her new friends. However, with her age, we are looking for a teenage/adult only home that will respect that she wants attention, but she also really values her catnaps on the windowsill too. Once the settling-in period, in her new home, she will be required to have access to the outdoors so she can take as many adventures as her heart desires!

Apply online to adopt Kali & Kirby

This beautiful duo came to us through no fault of their own. Their owners were unfortunately being made homeless so Kali and Kirby also had no where to go. They are both as affectionate as each other and enjoy good fuss. We were told they were very close so we would love to rehome them together. They would like a pet free home thoughg children over the ages of five would be suitable for them to live with. Once settled, the girls would love access to the outside. If you are interested please read our policy and only apply if you think you’re suitable.

Apply online to adopt Bart And Trotters

You might have read about these two sweet boys on our Facebook page. They were cruelly thrown over the wall of the sanctuary one morning by a horrible man who had clearly gone to great efforts to plan this as he had covered the number plate of his car to prevent him from being traced. We cant for the life of us figure out why he would do such a disgusting thing as both boys are incredibly loving! Due to the circumstances of which they arrived, we are unsure what they are like with other cats/dogs/young children at this time, but we will continue to monitor this whilst they are with us. Given their young age, we feel they would benefit from outdoor access once fully settled into their new forever home.

Apply online to adopt Cookie

Cookie was brought into through no fault of her own as her owner could no longer cope due to her own health declining. She is a timid girl and takes a while to come round to new people and unfamiliar surroundings, but we are confident that with a bit of time and patience (and maybe a sneaky treat or two) she will soon show us her true loving personality! At this time, we are unsure on how she will react to other cats and dogs but we will continue to monitor this whilst shes here with us. We do believe a home with older chidren/teens will be ideal for Cookie to allow her all the time she needs to settle all over again. Once fully settled in her new home, Cookie will require access to the outdoors as this is what shes used to.

Apply online to adopt Boomer

This big beautiful boy is Boomer. He is certainly one of the more confident cats we have at Bleakholt with it taking him all of two seconds to make friends with everyone here!
He was brought into us as his owners were in an unfortunate situation and decided it was in his best interest to give him up. We have been told that he has interacted with other cats and dogs in the past and didnt react badly at all, therefore should be fine to live with others in the future. Boomer is a family cat! We feel a home with children to play with and that will provide all the love and attention he could ever want is all he needs!
Boomer was previously kept as a house cat, however given his young age, staff feel he will benefit massively from having outdoor access in the right environment.

Apply online to adopt Trevor

This handsome man is Trevor. He was brought in as a stray however, isn’t coping too well with sanctuary life. He is an extremely timid boy and doesn’t seem to know how to react towards human interaction as he clearly hasn’t received much throughout his life. Trevor hasn’t yet built up enough confidence to come out of his cage, so we are unsure on his reaction towards other cats, however this is something we will continue to monitor once he has been neutered and moved to one of our outside pens. Given his timid nature, we are looking for a calm, quiet home where he will be given all the time and space he needs to settle in. Once fully settled Trevor will require access to the outdoors as this is what he’s used to.

Apply online to adopt Sweety

Sweety is a lovely lady who originally came into us back in October 2022 because her owners were unable to give her the care and attention she deserves due to their own poor health. A year later and Sweety is now back with us for the 3rd time and we’ve figured out why – she’s not a fan of other cats! She has been outside and used a litter tray in her previous homes so it would need access to both in her new home. We are heartbroken Sweety has had to be retuned to us so many times but we know her forever family is out their somewhere. She is an affectionate, vocal, confident lap cat and we know she’ll be the perfect fit for the perfect one. Her new home will need to be pet free and with children aged 10 years plus.

Apply online to adopt Felix Muffin

Felix is a lovely boy who came to the sanctuary with his sister, Minnie, due to the autistic child in the home mistreating the cats. The owners adored the pair and were heartbroken to let them go but knew it was best for the cats health and wellbeing. Felix is the more confident one of the duo, loves a good fuss and making the cat staff quickly fall in love with him! Felix and Minnie have never shown any sign of being close so we have made the decision to rehome them separately. Due to his previous experience, we feel Felix would probably be suited to an adult/teenage only home. Whilst he is currently sharing a pen with other cats, he’d much prefer to be the centre of attention so a home with no other cats would be ideal. We do not know what he is like with dogs at this time. He would need outdoor access once settled.

Apply online to adopt Minnie-Muffin

Minnie is a lovely but timid lady who came to the sanctuary with her brother, Felix due to the autistic child in the home mistreating the cats. The owners adored the pair and were heartbroken to let them go but knew it was best for the cats health and wellbeing. She can be quite nervous around new people, but with a little time and patience she soon comes round and will be loving on her own terms. Due to his previous experience, we feel Minnie would probably be suited to an adult/teenage only home. We do not think she’d react well to a canine companion! She would need outdoor access once settled.

Apply online to adopt Cry Baby

Living up to her namesake, Cry Baby is a needy girl who craves attention all day long. She will cry out forever untill you give her a cuddle, and so we feel her ideal home would be one that can give this to her. She was a stray that a lovely couple were feeding continuously for 2 years, until now where she can enjoy a comfy lap and couch to lay on. We are looking for a home without any dogs or cats, as we have been told she becomes defensive when near other animals due to being scared by them. She would want to have outdoor access in her new home too.

Apply online to adopt Riza

Riza came into the sanctuary with her brother Roy as their owners were moving and sadly couldn’t take them with them. They have clearly had a very good life as they are both confident and affectionate, and love nothing more chin scratches and looking lovingly into our eyes! They have quickly become a staff favourite and we are eager to find each of them their next home to continue the love. Roy has now been rehomed and it is time for Riza to shine! Riza love rolling around in the sun or curled up in her favourite Teepee, belly rubs and giving headbutts. They were kept indoors in their previous home as they lived in flat but we feel they would love outdoor access. Due to their little road sense, their new home would need to be away from busy roads.

Apply online to adopt Domino & Misty

Domino and Misty are a bonded pair who are waiting on another chance in a loving home. These beautiful girls initially came in due to being stressed in the home then were returned after being rehomed 3 years ago due to their owners allergies . Domino is the more confident out of the two and looks after misty when she is scared. Misty is the most shy but both of them do enjoy a good fuss once they get to know you. These gorgeous girls would prefer a quiet home without young children (10yrs+) or other animals. They both enjoy going outside, having a good chin tickle and a cosy bed to sleep on. Domino does have a Flea bite allergy which just requires monthly flea treatments with advantage to manage this. If you have believe to have the prefect home for these lovely ladies, please apply as they are desperately in need of a home due to missing their home comforts.
