Huge Thankyou to Mike and all at WCWT for pairing me up with beautiful 13 year old Freya, who sadly had to be rehomed after her mum Elaine had to go into a Nursing home. She has settled in so well with me, and is thriving.. I absolutely adore her, it is a match made in heaven! Thankyou!

Do not recommend if you have any colour to you or strongly suggest Jackie doesnt do the home visit. EDIT / RESPONSE: My review was regarding the lies that were used against my application. It would have been nice to have a cat rehomed with me, but thats not why I left a review. Please see my email I sent a couple months ago detailing the below - I didnt get a response. I was rejected on my application for 3 reasons: 1. The first reason, which I agreed to, was because I hadnt moved all my furniture into the property I just bought. Jackie mentioned during the home visit to have all my things in the property and then to get back in touch. I agreed as I dont want them to get lost in the boxes. A week later, I had moved in and emailed to let them know that in a month (I had surgery and was recovering) Id be ready for the cats, leading to new information not shared on the home visit for why I was rejected: 2. I was told I didnt have heating. This isnt something discussed during the home visit and is simply untrue. The heating has always been working. Moreover with cats in the house Id make sure its warm for them. Pushing for the truth, I was given a third reason: 3. My house is on a busy road. If this was true, I wouldnt adopt any animal just for my own wants. My road is in a residential cul-de-sac with cats regularly roaming the street. The streetlights go off at 11PM each night because its so quiet. I asked for a genuine reason I wasnt suitable to rehome and the reasons are disingenuous. Only when I pushed for a reason why from Jackie on the phone, did I get the other 2 reasons. Considering I am 28, I work from home, a homeowner with 2 bedrooms (one for the cats!), a front and back garden, a car and lifelong experience with cats, it just doesnt make sense to me. Jackie spent 5 mins with me in my home, came in just enough to close the front door behind her. She didnt have a look around the house at all in that time. For these reasons I believe I was unfairly treated and cant think of what else it would be apart from colour. If there is now a 4th reason I implore you to let me know.

Very disappointed, had a home visit that went well, Pam was very friendly and easy to talk to. Had a phone call 2 days later saying that because I wanted a indoor cat none of the cats available are indoor and that all the cats they have are outdoor cats, My sister has 4 cats all rescue strays that used to live outdoor and now all are indoor cats, cats adapt to being indoor . I myself previously had strays that became indoor cats with no problems. (I've had cats for over 40 years) And on the website alot of the cats say only cat which I think is odd because cats love cat company, I wanted a another cat because my older cat died last year so my other cat is missing the play and interaction .I'm not only disappointed for myself but for my cat who would of benefitted from having another cat.

Thank you so much for offering to rehome Misty who was my Mother's cat who died in December 2021 and therefore we had to sell her home. The lady who came to see me (Jackie) picked her up and was most helpful and I sure you will find Misty who is etting on a bit a home. Many thanks Welfare for cats
