Our Adoption Process

We have many wonderful cats looking for their forever homes. Here’s how our adoption process works and what we require from you.

Step 1

Get in Touch

First of all, please email adoptions@byfleetcatrescue.co.uk or download an adoption form.
When emailing, please attach the following:

A copy of your photo ID
A recent utility bill showing your address

Photos of your home – including an indoor photo, the front of your property, and your garden.

Step 2

Home Checks & Safety

Our main stipulation is that we do not home cats to properties located on or very close to a main road, unless the cat is confirmed as an indoor-only cat.
This rule is in place to protect the cats in our care — many have already been through difficult situations, and their safety is our highest priority.

Step 3

Application Process

After we receive your documents, we will log your request and send you an Enquiry Form to complete.

Once your form is returned, our team will carefully review your application and begin matching you with a cat that suits your home, lifestyle, and experience — ensuring the best possible match for both you and the cat.

Step 4

Meeting the Cat

If we feel a particular cat may be a good match, you will then be invited to visit and meet the cat.

This gives you the chance to get to know each other and see if it feels like the right fit before moving forward with adoption.

Step 5

Adoption Donation

An adoption donation will be required to help cover the costs of veterinary care, including neutering, microchipping, vaccinations, and health checks.

Step 6

Adoption Agreement

You’ll be asked to sign an Adoption Agreement confirming that you’ll provide a loving, safe, and permanent home.

Step 7

Bringing Your Cat Home

Once everything is approved, we’ll arrange a collection date and remain available for post-adoption advice and support as your new family member settles in.

Become a Cat’s Lifelong Friend 💛

Your generosity makes a lasting difference. Every donation helps provide food, medication, and comfort to the cats who depend on lifelong care in their foster homes.
