Apply online to adopt Alice

Alice was brought to Bleakholt after being taken to a vets as a stray. She was hanging around near someone’s workplace – they had planned to get her scanned for a microchip but when the day came, she had disappeared. A week later, she was found locked inside one of the work vans! She was dehydrated and anemic, but was treated and soon made a full recovery. We don’t know much about her history, but due to her overly confident personality, we feel a pet-free home would be best. Alice has a ‘sassy’ side so she just wants to find a home to call her own and a family who will take her on – quirks and all! We feel she would be happiest in a home with no young children. Once fully settled, Alice will require outdoor access as this is what she is used to.

Apply online to adopt Cheeky September

Cheeky is a beautiful girl who came to Bleakholt when owner died and none of the family could take her on. After our vet gave her a check up, it was clear that she has had it rough in the past! She has a bald patch on the top of her head which is believed to be an old, healed scar (we have no idea what from), her poo’s can be quite loose at times which we think is due to her having an infection in the past that has now cleared up, she is on a special diet called ID to help her sensitive stomach. Cheeky also has a cyst on her neck which we have had drained but due to it’s nature it will continue to refill when it is drained, this causes her no issues but is just something to be aware of. Although she is a sweet and loving lady now, she does take time to come around when she first meets you so we feel a quieter home with no young children or other pets is ideal for Cheeky. We also think it is best for her to be kept as a house cat as she is on the special diet.

Apply online to adopt Messi

Messi was brought to Bleakholt with her mum, Nokia as their owners were moving away. They are not particularly bonded so do not have to be rehomed together, but can do if someone would want to rehome the pair. Messi is an extremely timid lady who needs time and patience to come out of her shell, which she is currently doing ever so slowly! An ideal home will be a quieter one with no young children and possibly a compatible feline friend to help bring her out of her shell a little. Messi was previously kept as a house cat, but we have been told that she did show interest in venturing outside, so will require outdoor access in the future – her new home will need to be in a low traffic area as she will have very little road sense.

Apply online to adopt Oreo

Meet Oreo ! This lovely lady is 4 years old and came to Bleakholt as her owner was unwell. Oreo is described as being loving on her terms, adventurous and independent. She has lived with a small dog before so may be ok living with one again in the future and cat savvy kids ages 8+. Once settled she will require outdoor access as that’s what she’s used to.

Apply online to adopt Smudge Shirley

Smudge is a lovely lady who was well cared for in a home all of her life before coming to us, unfortunately the owners allergies became worse and so Smudge was spending most of her time outdoors. She is an independent lady who likes her own company so she would prefer a home where she is the only pet. Smudge likes attention on her own terms like most tortie females so we think an adult only home or with cat savvy children 8+ years would be perfect for her. Once settled, she will require outdoor access as this is what she is used to.

Apply online to adopt Sally

Sally came to us with newborn babies after being abandoned by her owners. Sadly it turned out that motherhood wasn’t really her bag so we had to step in and bring her away. She is nervous and defensive at first which is completely understandable after what she has been put through though she is very much motivated by her food so will come around in no time. A quiet home with no pets, older children if any and access outdoors will be ideal.

Apply online to adopt Satan

Do not be put off by his name! Satan is anything but evil! He was brought to Bleakholt with his feline friend, Cookie after being taken to Pet Medics as strays. We don’t know much in terms of his history, but we can tell that he is friendly but a little unsure at first. We feel a home with cat savvy children and potentially a compatible feline friend. Satan can be rehomed with Cookie, but doesn’t have to be. Once fully settled into his new, forever home, Satan will require the option to venture outdoors.

Apply online to adopt Fudge

Fudge is a lovely lady who came to us as her owners were moving to New Zealand and they thought the long journey would be too much for her. She has been described as timid when she first meets new people but then a lap cat once settled and she knows you. Fudge does like to explore the outdoors and has been known to hunt in the past. We think she would suit a quieter home (with ages teenagers+) where she is the only pet, once settled Fudge will need access to the outdoors as this is what she is used to.

Apply online to adopt Luna Lemon

Luna came to Bleakholt with her feline friend, Larna as their owner could no longer afford to provide the care they deserve after having a baby. Luna is a confident girl, but would need time and patience to settle into her new home. We feel a family home with cat savvy children will be perfect for her. She is currently sharing one of our outdoor pens with other cats and there hasn’t been any major issues, so she should be fine to live with a compatible feline friend in the future, but we don’t feel she will be too happy living with any canine friends. Luna was previously kept as a house cat however, given her young age, we feel she may benefit from having the option to go outside in the future – due to her having little to no road sense, her new home will need to be in a low traffic area.

Apply online to adopt Luna- Tinsel

Luna is a lovely lady who came to us through no fault of her own. Sadly she had to take on the responsibility of motherhood for five kittens whilst only a baby herself just to get left behind by her owner when her kittens were just six weeks old. Thankfully a kind neighbour took them all in who has described her as a friendly, quiet and affectionate young lady and is even partial to a tummy tickle! We aren’t sure as of yet how she feels about other pets, we would suggest any children she lives with to be ages eight and over. Once settled, Luna would require outdoor access so she can have the freedom to explore and burn off her energy with now no risk of getting pregnant with kittens to tie her down again.

Apply online to adopt Moonie

Moonie is a chunky boy who was brought to Bleakholt from a vets after being taken to them as an injured stray. He suffers with radial nerve paralysis on his left forearm and so can struggle to move around on the limb. After suggesting possibly amputating the leg, the vets explained how much he has improved since being on the treatment and they felt amputation wasn’t in his best interest at the time. Since being with us, Moonie can occasionally have a slight limp but overall does not affect him. We have little history on Moonie, but he hasn’t shown any negative reactions towards other cats since being with us, so should be fine to live with a compatible feline friend in the future. We feel a family home with cat savvy children aged 5 years and older will be ideal for this big boy! Once fully settled, we believe he would benefit from having the option to go outdoors.

We have limited information regarding Cookie’s history, but she is a confident, friendly lady from what we have gathered so far.

Apply online to adopt Luna License

Luna License sadly came to Bleakholt due to the autistic child in the home being overly rough with her. Described as a friendly, loving girl, her previous owners did say she was very vocal but we do believe she just wanted some love, affection and food! Understandably very scared at the moment, we are looking for a home for Luna with no dogs and older children aged 8 years and over who will understand her nervousness. We are yet to know how Luna is with cats but will continue monitor her reactions to them. Luna has a small lump on her neck which we are keeping an eye on currently but think this is just a reaction to her vaccination. Luna will require outdoor access once settled as this is what she is used to.

Apply online to adopt Britney & Whitney

Britney and Whitney came to Bleakholt after their original owner sadly passed away leaving them to fend for themselves. A neighbour took them in, but unfortunately couldn’t keep them as her landlord wouldn’t allow pets in the home. They found shelter in a smashed up abandoned car and was fed by the neighbours daily. They are closely bonded, so will need to be rehomed together. We have limited information on their history, however we can see how much love they have to give. A loving, family home with cat savvy children aged 5 years and over and potentially another compatible feline friend will be ideal. Once fully settled, both girls will require outdoor access.

Apply online to adopt Matty

Marvellous Matty started making an appearance in a lady’s garden last year as a stray. After no luck trying to find his owners, the wonderful woman took in Matty, getting him neutered and taking him on as her own. Sadly, due to poor health, Matty is now looking for a new home to call his own. Described as a loving, affectionate boy, Matty is wary of sudden movements and loud noises, so we are looking for a calm home with children aged 10 years and over who can give Matty the peace he is looking for! We have been told he got along with a kitten at his previous home so could suit a compatible feline friend but feel he would like a dog-free environment. Matty has gingivitis so needs to be fed a mainly dry diet to help with this. Due to being a stray, Matty would like outdoor access.

Apply online to adopt Lovey

Lovey came to us with a bit of mystery. A gentleman contacted Bleakholt after his dad was given a cat – the mystery being we do not know who gave his dad the cat! Sadly, Lovey was not being given the care she needed and was being confined to one room. Whilst wary at first, Lovey has shown us she is living up to her name sake…with some slight caution. We have little to no information on Lovey so are still learning about her personality, likes and dislikes.

Apply online to adopt Freddy

Meet Freddy, his previous owners adopted him from Dubai. He is our charming, handsome Arabian Mau cross with a heart full of love and a personality as vibrant as his beautiful coat. Freddy adores human companionship – he’ll happily curl up next to you, purr his heart out, and shower you with affection. Like many spirited young cats, he sometimes gets a little overstimulated, which can lead to the odd scratch or nip, so he’s best suited to an understanding home with no young children that will give him the space he needs when he’s had enough cuddles. Freddy is not a fan of other animals, so he’ll need to be the only pet in the household, where all the love and attention can be just for him. Because of his hunting instincts, he much be kept indoors, but with toys, enrichment and playtime, this handsome boys beautiful energy shines in the most delightful ways. Freddy is longing for a special person who will see past his quirks and love him for the affectionate, playful and wonderfully unique companion he is.

Apply online to adopt Eric

Eric is a timid boy who came to us as a stray. On arrival, it seemed clear that he hasn’t had much socialisation in his life as he instantly switched into fight or flight mode as soon as we attempted to touch him. Since then he has come a long way and is slowly learning to trust humans. Eric was temporarily rehomed for a couple of months but sadly, Eric was not getting along with the other cats in the home. Once Eric gets to know you he loves head scratches and will purr away. He has had a malignant lump removed and recovered from the operation perfectly but results show there is a chance of this growing back so will need to be monitored. It doesn’t affect his quality of life in any way right now. We are looking for a calm, quiet home with no children or other animals in the home so he can come out of his shell more. Once fully settled, Eric will require outdoor access as this is what he is used to.

Apply online to adopt Gravy

Gravy came to us after being found with kittens in a garage they had snuck into. She is a shy girl who has clearly had little to no human interaction. We are looking for either a quiet home with no young children or dogs (can live with a compatible feline) or a small holding. Once settled, Gravy will require outdoor access.

Apply online to adopt Nokia

Nokia was brought to Bleakholt with her daughter, Messi as their owners were moving away. They are not particularly bonded so do not have to be rehomed together, but can do if someone would want to rehome the pair. Nokia is an extremely timid lady who needs time and patience to come out of her shell. An ideal home will be a quieter one with no young children and possibly a compatible feline friend to help bring her out of her shell a little. Nokia has never shown any interest in going outside, and given her timid nature, we feel it will be best to keep her as a house cat in the future. She has slight damage to one of her eyes from having cat flu in the past but this doesn’t cause her any issues.

Apply online to adopt Meeka

Our lovely Meeka who came to us in October 2021, was returned in February 2022 after spending a few months in a home. She was brought back through no fault of her own as the new owner was allergic. When Meeka was originally with us, she was nervous and shy, but with having time in her previous home she had come on in leaps and bounds with her confidence. She was rehomed again however Meeka’s story still hasn’t had it’s happy ending as her most recent owner has passed away, so she is back with us again three and a half years later, this time oozing with confidence! She does have mild cataracts due to her age which isn’t giving her any difficulty right now. We feel a quiet, laid-back home would be the best for her, without other animals or young children, so she can be the centre of attention. When she is fully settled, she would like access to a garden to potter around.
