Pixie and kittens

Pixie and her kittens are currently in the care of one of our foster homes.  They were brought to us when the kittens were four weeks old by someone who could no longer care for them. They told us that they had been feeding Pixie as a stray for 4-5 months, she then became pregnant so they took her in but now that she had given birth and the kittens were becoming more mobile they could no longer cope with caring for them.

This family are all very friendly and will be ready for new homes from mid July.

Pixie – (aka Zazu) - If Pixie had her way she would spend every minute of every day being stroked and fussed over. She likes to stick close to her human friends (bonus points if there’s an empty lap or sofa spot around!) and is very happy and trusting when making new ones! A constant trill-purr is the soundtrack to her very cuddly company.

Rafiki – leader of the kitten pack Rafi is a bundle of energy and fun constantly exploring and rounding up siblings to play, before spreading flat out belly up with legs in the air to fall asleep.

Simba – the sweetest and sleepiest soul; loves a good chin scratch and belly rub, often reciprocating by grooming you back. Can otherwise be found napping in a quiet corner.

Nala – very much a people cat she loves being held and stroked and will launch herself up and at any nearby hand/arm that presents an opportunity for adoration. Smaller than her brothers but channels Joey from Friends at feeding time making clear that Nala does NOT share food.

Mufasa – Mufi radiates happiness and smiles. Like Nala, he is also known to launch himself at humans in the vicinity demanding to be held and adored by them, or cuddling up with his siblings for a good nap. In between times Mufi loves to play, chase and explore his surroundings with his siblings.

Pumba – Pumba is a very playful but gentle kitten who is very relaxed and happy when being held. He seems to see life as a team sport and likes to be close to his siblings and human friends at all times.

ADOPTION PROCESS:

Because our cats are rescued we do like to meet potential adopters this can either be at your home (home visit) or via a video call e.g WhatsApp this is an informal visit to provide advice about caring for cats or kittens e.g health care, feeding, settling in and also an opportunity for us to feel reassured that you could provide a good home.

Following a successful home assessment we can make an appointment for you to come and meet our cats.

We are prioritising homes that are local to our centres. Lewisham Branch Homing catchment area: All SE London and BR (Bromley) postcodes. Also N.Kent (Welling, Bexley, Sidcup, Swanley, Dartford), Croydon and SW London (SW8, SW9, SW2, SW11, SW4, SW12, SW16) If you can offer a home to a 'harder to rehome' cat we will consider homes outside our usual rehoming areas.

Our Rescue Centre reception is also open every Saturday and Sunday afternoon between 1p.m and 5p.m for potential adopters to drop in to meet us for an initial chat about adopting one or more of our cats.
