Take the time to adopt a new cat/kitten, and please listen to our advice. Cats cant take 2 to 4 weeks to adjust to new surroundings, and you should keep your new cat inside for at least 4 weeks. Once it has adjusted, your cat should be kept inside at night for it's own safety of the local wildlife. It is also council requirements that your cat is contained to your property.

We have a 28 day cooling off period whereby any cat purchsed can be returned to the refuge within 28 days. At the discretion of the refuge, no refund is given but a credit for another animal is allowable within 6 months. This is a once only option.
