Cats for Adoption

Meet the cats currently searching for loving homes through Peterborough Cat Rescue.
Each application is carefully reviewed to ensure the best match.

You can also submit a general adoption, this is particularly good if you prefer Peterborough Cat Rescue to match you to a cat.
Specifically if you would like adding to the indoor cat waitlist or to have our volunteers to help find you the right match.

How Adoption Works

Online Adoptions
    1. See which cat is the best fit for you and them according to their write up.
    2. Complete the adoption application form on the cat’s profile page, giving as much detail as possible. You’ll receive an email confirming we’ve received your application.
    3. Your application will be reviewed via our adoption system. As we often receive multiple applications for the same cat, it may remain under review for a short time while we assess suitability for both the cat and the potential adopter.
    4. You’ll receive an email update on the outcome of your application. If your application is unsuccessful, the email will explain why. Please note the outcome email is sent automatically, check your junk folder if you don’t see it
    5. If your application is successful, a member of our homing team will be in touch to discuss the match in more detail. If it’s a good fit, we’ll arrange for you to meet the cat with their foster carer.
    6. Meet the foster carer at an agreed time. They may ask a few extra questions to ensure the match is right for everyone.
    7. If all goes well, you’ll complete the paperwork, pay the minimum adoption donation (cash only), and take your new family member home.

    Please note: Due to the high volume of applications and being a volunteer-run charity, response times may vary. You are welcome to apply for other cats on our website while your application is being reviewed.

    You can also apply for a general adoption submit an application, we assess it, and contact you when we find a suitable cat match.

  1. Attend a home day event. (Keep an eye on our events page and our Facebook pages for announcements)
