Oh hi, I'm Ami (pronounced Am-e). I sometimes answer to it—95% of the time I don't, all depends what kind of mood I'm in really, because I'm a cat at the end of the day. 😹 I'm around 4 years old.
I came into foster with my kittens, but now they're grown they've become a nuisance, so now I'm looking for a place of my own, somewhere I can lay stretched out in peace without the fear of being jumped by tiny ninjas and their tiny murder mittens. Can you offer me that safe haven?
I don't mind being picked up, just don't expect me to remain there for long. I will however come and sit and sleep near you, and over time I may grow in confidence and sit closer, but it's unlikely I'll be a lap cat.
I'm not a huge fan of being shut away by myself all the time—if I am, I will yell really loudly until you come and comfort me.
I think I'll get on ok with another cat with careful introduction.
We're a foster-based charity, so each cat lives in a home environment before adoption. This helps us see how they cope with things like children, other cats, and dogs.
Because we don't always know a cat's full history (especially if they were a stray), our guidance is based on what we've observed in foster care. For example:
As a foster-based rescue, when one cat is adopted their space is quickly filled by another in need. If a cat is adopted into an unsuitable home and has to return, it unsettles them and creates real challenges with our limited foster spaces.
We also believe that, where possible, cats should have safe access to the outdoors. Unless a cat is specifically listed as indoor-only, outdoor access is a requirement for adoption.
Our priority is always to match each cat with the home where they'll feel safe, settled, and happy.
