| Adopt a Cat |
|
We have many beautiful cats of all ages and backgrounds waiting for a home of their very own. Can you find room for one in your home? |
We are a small charity based in the Reading, Maidenhead and Henley on Thames areas. We aim to rehome our cats and kittens within approximately a 20 mile radius of Henley. |
Kittens (Please read our article : Adopting Kittens) We have several pairs of kittens ready for rehoming at the moment but as this can change very quickly please telephone for details. |
| Adult cats (Please read our article : Tips on adopting an adult cat) |
We have a lot of cats in our care at the moment which are not yet ready to be rehomed. Below are listed some of the cats which are now ready for rehoming. If you do not see what you are looking for please phone us as the situation is always changing as more cats are taken into care.
Sox - is a handsome, very friendly, black and white male cat, about 4 or 5 years old. He came to TVAW because his owner had died, the local council had closed up the house and Sox had been turned out on to the streets. Sox has been used to a quiet home but he is a very friendly, outgoing sort of chap who would probably adapt easily to a family home with older children.
Barnaby - is a friendly longhaired black cat who was a stray in Sonning Common. We think he is about 2 years old. Barnaby has been waiting patiently for a new home for three months. Whilst he's well cared for in his cathouse he really would like to be in a proper home with a chance to go out and enjoy the summer weather.
Simba & Angel - are pretty unusual as they are both ginger and are brother and sister (ginger females are not very common). They are 2 years old and both very friendly.They are used to living with children and a dog so would make good family pets. They are to be rehomed together.
Peaches - is an 8 year old tabby female (part Abyssinian). Peaches came to us for rehoming because her brother died and the other cats in the household started attacking her. She is a quiet little cat who is recovering from her ordeal but needs a new home without other animals.
Gizzy & Tigger - are mother and daughter, both tortoiseshell and 7 and 6 years old. Originally rehomed as young cats by RSPCA they have spent the last two years living in their owner's garden after the owner acquired a dog. When they arrived they were quite traumatised so they need a quiet home with an understanding owner who will enjoy giving them another chance of a happy life. Torres - is a white male cat, 2 years old. He was a bit of a handful when he arrived as he had not been neutered by his previous owners and had been the terror of the neighbourhood. He has been tested for FELV and FIV and neutered and has calmed down considerably. Torres is transforming into a nice, friendly cat with lots of personality but he would be best in a home where he is the only cat. Alfie and Sidney - are black and tabby brothers, about a year old. They were left behind when their owner moved away suddenly. They are lovely, friendly boys and need a home together. Poppy - is an 8 year old black and white female who has come into our care because her owner is going abroad. She is a little shy but is gaining confidence and will make a good companion. Poppy would probably not be suitable for a family with young children. 
Misty - is a handsome 2 year old grey male cat. He looks as though he may have some Burmese is his background but his parents were certainly not pedigree cats. Although Misty does not seem to enjoy sitting on laps for long he is really friendly, talkative and loves company. He is not used to living with children or other animals.
Tigger - is an elderly ginger male cat, about 16 years old. He was rehomed by TVAW in 1998 and has sadly come back to us following the death of his owner. In view of his age Tigger will be rehomed under the "Golden Oldie" scheme which means that financial help will be available for any veterinary treatment he may require. Tigger is a lovely old boy who just needs a quiet home for his twilight years.
Mittens - is a 6 year old tabby and white male cat. Mittens is a friendly cat but as he has had at least two homes already needs a stable home for the remainder of his life. He is not used to living with children or other animals. 
Charlie - is a friendly black neutered male cat, about 11 months old. He was found as a stray in Reading but efforts to find his owner have failed so he is now looking for a new home
Memphis and Tallulah - came into our care because of an allergy in the family. Memphis is tabby and white, 6 years old and quite a big chap while Tallulah is a petite grey and cream female aged 5. They look like a bit of an odd couple but they are very much a pair and need a home together. As neither cat had been neutered by their owner they were both bloodtested for FIV/FeLV before being neutered. They are lovely, friendly cats but need a home without young children. 
Rocky - is a neutered male about 2 years old. He is a lovely cat, very athletic looking, intelligent and alert and a really friendly chap. He was originally thought to be a stray. However, it was discovered that his previous owner had a new dog who Rocky wasn't very fond of and so he took to the streets to find himself a new home.
Purdy - is a lovely tortoiseshell female. She was a stray and when the people who found her were unable to find her owners they thought that they would like to keep her. Sadly their male cat thought otherwise. We think that she is about 3 years old. Purdy is a friendly cat who probably needs a home without other animals. (Ref. hfh)
Nibbles - was an unnuetered stray in Sandhust, breaking in through catflaps to get food. He has been tested for FIV/FeLV, neutered and had a dental. Nibbles is a young black male who was very frightened when he arrived but is settling down well. He does not like to be picked up but he is very talkative and enjoys being stroked and generally made a fuss of.

Feral cats - we have several cats who need homes at smallholdings, stables etc. They will undertake rodent control duties in return for having somewhere warm to sleep and two good meals a day. More on Feral Cats These are a few of the cats in our care at the moment. If you don't see what you are looking for please give us a ring on either 01494 484527 or 01189 721 871. |
Where are the cats? We have 26 cat houses with 15 of our members mainly within the Reading and Henley on Thames areas, with accommodation for up to 50 cats and kittens. |
Will the cats be spayed or neutered? Yes, all are spayed or neutered before rehoming. |
Do I have to make a donation if I offer a home to a cat? Yes, but it is usually left to you to decide how much to give. However, we depend on fundraising to pay for food, heating, spaying/neutering and veterinary treatment so we are very grateful for all donations. |
