Adopted Kitties
When we first opened, we fostered cats for a rescue & helped facilitate finding them their fur-ever homes.
After 14 adoptions in just 4 months, it became clear that coordinating new arrivals & departures was too difficult to sustain, & the heartbreak of seeing them go each time was taking a toll on our mental health, so our adoption aspect ended.
Below are the details of some of our successful adoptions, with many of our Hoo-Mummies & Daddies remaining in touch with us to keep us updated with how our fur-babies are doing.
Magic - adopted December 2023 Magic was one of our founding 4 kitties & came to us with her sister Harlow.
Lucky - adopted December 2023 Lucky was a nervous girl at first, & always followed Panther's lead, but as her confidence grew she really came out of her shell.
Lucy - adopted January 2024 Lucy was 3 years old when she came to us & spent 3 days hiding behind the sofa. But once she came out, she was out-out, & loved being fussed over, & to date, no other kitties have claimed our TV bed as much as she did.
Lenny - adopted January 2024 Lenny was a big lad with a really sad back story. It took him a bit of time to get used to the Catfe atmosphere, but one on one, he was really affectionate & loved climbing up for cuddles. He was adopted with Lucy &, although they didn't really mix much in the Catfe, being together has really suited them in their fur-ever home.
Lola - adopted January 2024 Lola was our most senior resident to date at 11 years old, & although she wasn't especially active, she's a real character & gave a few disapproving looks to the younger kitties that disturbed her naps. But she loved being fussed over & has really flourished in her fur-ever home. We aren't ashamed to admit that there were a few tears during our last cuddle before she left.
Buttons - adopted February 2024 Buttons came to us from the vets that looked after him after he was found in a plastic bag. He was such a confident, cuddly boy that he hopped up onto the lap of his Daddy-to-be & completely melted the hearts of the family that then adopted him.
Keiko - adopted February 2024 Keiko came to us with Kentaro & settled into the Catfe really quickly. Like Buttons, she won over her new family by jumping on to the lap of her sister-to be & snuggled into her for a cuddle & a snooze.
Kentaro - adopted February 2024 Kentaro (which is Japanese for “Big Boy”) arrived to us with Keiko & settled in very quickly. Kentaro was an instant hit with Catfe visitors with his cute heart shaped nose & chilled manner.
Ace - adopted February 2024 Ace was only with us a short time, but was an affectionate soul once he came out of his shell a bit. He looks fabulous with his bow tie on, & his new family informed us that he was well & truly settled within a few hours.
Lulu - adopted February 2024 Lulu came to us a moody girl & left us a slightly less moody girl. But considering her past before we met her, you couldn't really blame her. Once she settled in, she showed Catfe visitors just how affectionate she really was & is now very happy in her new home as the only kitty getting all the attention.
Frank & Scarlett - adopted March 2024 When Frank & Scarlett shared a car ride to the Catfe from separate places, we didn't realise the love story that was in the making. We knew Scarlett was a nervous girl from her previous foster home where she spent months under a bed, so it was no surprise that she hid under our sofa for a good while. But Frank joined her under there, & the romance between these 2 blossomed while they hid together. When Frank decided to show Catfe visitors how awesome & adorable he was, Scarlett tentatively did the same. We were over the moon when their prospective Hoo-Mummy & Daddy told us they wanted to adopt them both, & after less than 24hrs in her new home, Scarlett is no longer a hiding, nervy girl - she & Frank are living their best lives together. They even have their own Instagram account!
Pixie - adopted April 2024 Pixie was only with us a short time, & was adopted the weekend she arrived. She enjoyed her short time at the Catfe, but is enjoying her fur-ever home with her new Hoo-Mummy & Daddy way more.
Harriet - adopted April 2024 Scarlett's sister arrived to us shortly after Scarlett left, but she didn't have a special friend to guide her through the way her sister did with Frank. As a result, Harriet took longer to settle in & spent even more time in hiding. But she eventually did come out of her shell &, whilst she still wasn't really interested in making friends with our other kitties, she did make friends with a few Catfe visitors - particularly her new Hoo-Mummy that adopted her.
