✨ Golden Oldie Pumpkin is looking for her forever home, or a special long‑term foster ✨

• Approx. 13/14 years old
• Good eater and on a renal diet to support her kidney disease.
• On daily gabapentin for artheritis.
• Cat friendly.
• Deaf, but it doesn't affect her lifestyle.
• Looking for a quiet indoor retirement home.
• Managing a cyst that needs draining every few months

Pumpkin is a very sweet, gentle old girl who wants nothing more than a warm lap, soft fusses, and a cosy place to snooze. She came to us as a long‑term stray in very poor condition, but has blossomed beautifully in her foster home, where she enjoys endless cuddles and attention.

Not much is known about her past, but she has settled incredibly well and adores spending her days curled up on the sofa or in a sunny window. Despite her arthritis making her a little wobbly, she still manages to hop on and off beds and sofas, her favourite napping spots.

For long‑term fosterers, we will cover all veterinary treatment, food, litter, and essentials. All we ask is that you can take her to vet appointments and give her the comfort and love she deserves. It would be especially helpful if you are close to one of our preferred vet practices: Animal Doctor, Minster, Scarsdale, or Hucknall Medivet.

If you can offer Pumpkin a home, please complete an application form for adoption or email the team for fostering and a member of the team will be in touch.

• Approx. 12/13 years old
• Very chatty, affectionate and loves tummy rubs.
• Can be shy to being with so looking for a quieter home.
• Loves food and will attempt to help you finish yours.  

Say hi to Cleo, a friendly chatty 12-year-old girl who deserves a wonderful home to live out her days in luxury. She thinks about food 24/7, so you’ll have to learn not to be tempted by her pleading for second servings, or leave your chicken pasta in her reach!

She loves a snuggle on the sofa watching rom coms and if you speak to her extra nicely she’ll roll over and let you tickle her tummy. Shes super soft and as gentle as a cat can be. She’s a little shy to begin with, but once she’s got to know you she’ll be straight on your lap for a cuddle.

We think she’d be ok with kids who are a little older as she can be spooked by loud noises. 

We’re not sure how she’d be with other cats, but as she is more shy we think she’d probably prefer a quieter home, though she prefers company to an empty house.

If you can offer Cleo a home, please complete an application form and a member of the team will be in touch.

• Approx. 6 years old
• Super affectionate and loves a head bump and kisses.
• Loves company so would like her humans to be around most of the day.
• Looking for a home with no other pets and safe access to outdoors. 

Clemmie is a very sweet 6 year old girl who loves to give head bumps & kisses. 

She’s initially slightly wary but quickly relaxes and her affectionate nature shows. She will happily curl up on you and likes to be close to her humans. When she's not sleeping she's curious, playful and chatty. 

She also likes being outdoors & needs an interesting garden to explore in a quiet area, where she can roam freely & safely away from main roads. Clemmie needs a pet & child free home and where her humans are home for company. When humans are away from home she would need someone she knows to feed and spend time with her.

If you can offer Clementine a home, please complete an application form and a member of the team will be in touch.

• Approx. 5 years old
• FIV+
• Needs an adults only, indoor home.
• Very affectionate and chatty. Likes to be social. Can occasionally nip if overstimulated. 

This is Gaius, possibly the most grateful cat you’ll ever meet. Abandoned and living in a garden, he was being cared for by the kind couple next door and had captured their hearts so much they only reluctantly handed him over to FAWR due to them already having their own cats.

When he arrived in foster care, Gaius was very nervous. The only thing he was sure of was that he didn’t want to be outside any more. He hid away at the slightest sound. But his naturally friendly personality quickly started to show and his love for home comforts now knows no bounds. Just give him a window sill to stare out of and that’s enough ‘outdoors’ for him!

He loves to doze next to you on the sofa, and will climb on your lap for a fuss, although he will politely tell you when he’s had enough of being stroked and cuddled with a soft nip on the hand, which is happening less and less as he becomes closer to us. He also likes little headbutts and gets so giddy with affection that he dribbles.

When he’s not napping, he’ll be hoping you’ll play a little game with him. He absolutely loves interacting with humans and a feather on a stick and will have him running around, honing his chasing skills. He also loves his catnip toys and will ‘kill’ them several times a day. After all that exercise, fuss and napping, his favourite pastime is following whoever is going to the kitchen, sitting quietly, hoping for a snack. Not that you’d know he’s there - his meow is so quiet it’s like a little whisper.

Gaius is around 5 years old and FIV positive, but it doesn’t bother him at all. In fact he seems quite relieved that he will be an indoor cat now. More time to spend being loved and fussed over.

Gaius likes to meet new people on his own terms but doesn’t like noise and seems to prefer a quiet, stable existence with routine. For that reason we think he would prefer to live with a couple or single person with whom he can build a special relationship. He has so much to give, has bags of entertaining personality and is so grateful to be off the streets that he just wants to find someone who will love him as much as he will clearly love them 

If you can offer Gaius a home, please complete an application form and a member of the team will be in touch.

• Approx. 11 years old
• Affectionate girl who loves head boops.
• On a gastrointestinal diet.
• Would need to be an only pet and indoors. 
• Suffers from stress when travelling/with small spaces.

11 year old Nala came to FAWR after being at risk of euthanasia when her previous owner could no longer care for her.

She is such a beautiful, loving older lady who will give hours of affection and head boops.

Nala needs an understanding family, as she suffers from stress when travelling and when she’s confined to small spaces. She doesn't like being picked up but will tolerate it when necessary.

Nala is on a gastrointestinal special diet. She doesn't get on with other cats or dogs, so would need to be an only pet and indoors. 

This little lady deserves a second chance at finding her forever home 

If you can offer Nala a home, please complete an application form and a member of the team will be in touch.

• 13-week-old kitten
• Hand-reared after being found abandoned.
• Typical playful and affectionate kitten.
• Ralph will need to be rehomed with another kitten/cat, or in a home with a resident cat already.

Ralph came in with his brother and sister as a tiny two‑week‑old and has been lovingly hand‑reared by one of our amazing fosterers.

Because he was hand reared, he absolutely adores people of all ages and gets along brilliantly with other cats. He’s playful, sweet, and purrs like a little motorbike. 

Ralph is now looking for a home where he’ll have another cat for company.

If you can offer Ralph a home, please complete an application form and a member of the team will be in touch.

• Short King!
• King of mixed signals - he’ll curl up on your lap for fuss, gently nibble when “done,” then instantly head‑bump you for more attention. 
• FIV +
• Indoor Only 
• Rehomed with other FIV+ cats, an only cat or with other indoor only cats. 

Short king alert!

Aslan came in as a stray with a sore eye from a scratch below it. He ended up with an eye ulcer that needed ongoing treatment that has now cleared up! 

He's the king of mixed signals - loving nothing more than having a fuss and sitting on your lap, that is until he decides he's done with that and gently bites or smacks you to let you know he's done (he doesn't break skin though!). But then instantly rubs his head back on you again for ask for more fuss...

If you're thinking he sounds like the perfect guy for you, make sure you have life insurance because he loves nothing more than running in front of you on stairs and then stopping. Or swiping at your feet as to go to step over him when he stops in front of you at some very inconvenient location. 

Many of Aslan's quirks can be put down to the fact that he is FIV positive (not just because his legs are oddly short for his body size). FIV is a condition which leads to a weakened immune system and isn't treatable but don't let that put you off! Cats with FIV can live long and happy lives, some never showing signs they have it. 

What does that mean? 

Aslan will need to be an indoor only cat to make sure he can't pass on the virus to any other cats. It is transmitted by saliva, most commonly through deep bite wounds or by mating therefore, ideally, Aslan would be rehomed with other FIV cats or as an only cat or with other indoor only cats. 

With Aslan in your family, your home will never be quiet again! Whether it's meowing to let you know he's used the litter tray or just generally chirruping to let you know about his day, this little vocal boy loves nothing more than when you talk back to him

• Approx. 11 years old
• Shy but loving boy.
• Hyperthyroidism - takes medication with food well.
• Home with no other pets (or at least quiet ones), no children. 

 Sometimes you stare into the void and.... the void looks away because it has anxiety and doesn't like eye contact. 

Meet Ali. 

Ali came back into foster through no fault of his own and, after a few months of settling in and getting his hyperthyroidism under control - he's now ready to find his forever home.

Ali is a very quiet guy who likes to be in the same room as you and does actually enjoy your company but the thought of you actually knowing that fills him with embarassment. He occasionally loves a fuss and will love you forever if you scratch his cheeks and chin - but only until he realises you can actually see him loving it, then the embarassment takes over and he has to leave. 

He's basically like a teenager who doesn't want to accept that he likes spending time with his family.

Ali is secretly one of the nicest cats you'll ever meet. He craves a quiet life with no other animals, a small corner or table to hide under and someone who will be patient in building up trust with him. He loves looking out of windows and will happily spend time with you on the couch while you binge your favourite program. He doesn't play apart from occasionally batting his own tail but that doesn't mean he isn't happy, just that he doesn't know how to play.

He's missing an eye due to an old injury when he first came in to us but he doesn't miss it. He does have a sensitive stomach so too many treats or changes in food can upset him but he can eat whiskas and felix happily. He does get hairballs but regular brushing hugely helps with this.

He also has hyperthryoidism but is stable on his liquid medication which he takes well in his food. This means he'll need occasional vet visits for bloods to make sure he's stable but that's usually only every few months. 

Ali would be best suited to a quiet house with no other pets (or at least quiet ones), no children. 

He's around 11 years old and wants nothing more than to find his forever home where he can relax and enjoy the finer things in life.

If you can offer Ali a home, please complete an application form and a member of the team will be in touch.
