• 🐾 Cat Adoption Application

    Thank you for your interest in giving one of the cats in Jesika's care a loving home.

    Jesika regularly cares for cats who may be looking for safe, loving and permanent homes. Every cat is different, so this form helps us learn a little about you, your household and the type of home you can provide.

    We ask these questions because:

    • The right match matters: We want to match each cat's personality, age, health needs and temperament with a home where they are likely to thrive.
    • Adoption is a long-term commitment: Cats can live for 15–20 years or longer, and we want every cat to have a secure and permanent home.
    • Safety comes first: We want to understand how the cat will be kept safe, including their indoor and outdoor arrangements and any other animals in the household.
    • Every cat has different needs: Some cats may need an indoor-only home, a secure catio, a quieter household, careful introductions to other animals, or ongoing veterinary care.
    • We want the adoption to work for everyone: The aim is to find a home that suits both you and the individual cat, rather than simply placing a cat as quickly as possible.

    There are no perfect answers.

    Please answer as openly as you can. Completing this form does not guarantee adoption, as Jesika will consider the individual needs of each cat when deciding whether a home is a suitable match.

    Thank you for taking the time to help Jesika find safe, caring and permanent homes for the cats in her care. 🐱

  • 🐾 Cats Currently Available for Adoption

    The cats in Jesika's care who are looking for homes may change from time to time as cats are adopted and new cats come into her care.

    Please check this form regularly for updates. The cats shown below are those currently looking for suitable homes. Availability cannot be guaranteed until an adoption has been discussed and confirmed with Jesika.

    Bandit

    Bandit

    Male · Approximately 5 years old · Black and white
    Desexed · Microchipped · Vaccinated

    FIV-positive

    Bandit is shy at first, but once he feels comfortable he becomes affectionate and enjoys attention. He is happy to be patted and particularly enjoys being stroked along his back and tummy. He also enjoys being brushed.

    He is not especially interested in toys and seems to prefer being close to people. Jesika thinks he would enjoy being a lap cat.

    Best suited to: A calm, patient home where Bandit can settle at his own pace and build trust, particularly with someone looking for a gentle and affectionate companion.

    Kitten

    Kitten

    Male · Approximately 3–4 years old, turning 4 · Tabby
    Desexed · Microchipped · Vaccinated

    FIV-positive

    Kitten is affectionate, intelligent, curious and playful. He loves toys and enjoys interacting with people. He also enjoys being brushed.

    He is unusually trainable. He gives high fives, comes when called, and is generally very responsive and obedient.

    Kitten can be dominant and territorial with other cats and tends to want to establish himself as the leader. He can also be protective of his group.

    Home requirements: Jesika would strongly prefer Kitten to be placed as an indoor cat because he is FIV-positive. A home with a secure catio or enclosed outdoor area would also be ideal so he can safely enjoy outdoor stimulation without roaming.

    He may be best suited to an indoor-only home, a home with a secure catio, or a carefully matched multi-cat home.

    🐾 FIV-positive cats

    Both Bandit and Kitten are FIV-positive. If either cat is to be placed in a home with another cat, Jesika would prefer that the resident cat also be FIV-positive.

    If you are interested in one of these cats, please select their name in the application below so Jesika knows which cat you are applying to adopt. 🐱

  • 🐾 FIV-positive cats

    Some cats in Jesika’s care may be FIV-positive (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus).

    FIV affects a cat’s immune system, but many FIV-positive cats can live long, happy lives with good care. FIV is not transmissible to humans. It is transmitted between cats primarily through deep bite wounds, so preventing roaming and fighting is particularly important.

    An FIV-positive cat should generally:

    • live indoors or have access only to a secure enclosed catio/outdoor area
    • receive regular veterinary check-ups
    • receive prompt veterinary attention if they become unwell
    • have good-quality nutrition, parasite prevention and routine preventative care
    • be introduced carefully to any other cats in the household, particularly where there is a risk of fighting

    Do you have experience caring for an FIV-positive cat, or do you understand and feel comfortable providing the care an FIV-positive cat may need?

  • 🐾 Two-Week Adoption Trial

    When an adoption application is approved, the cat will begin a 14-day trial period in their new home. This gives both you and the cat time to settle in, get to know one another and make sure the home is the right long-term match.

    During the trial:

    • The cat lives with you as they would after a normal adoption.
    • Please allow time for the cat to adjust, as some cats may initially hide, seem nervous or take time to show their usual personality.
    • Jesika is available to discuss any settling-in concerns or questions.
    • If you feel the placement is not working, please contact Jesika before making any other arrangements for the cat.

    The adoption fee is paid before the cat goes to their new home. If the trial is not successful and the cat is safely returned to Jesika within the 14-day trial period, the adoption fee will be refunded.

    If everyone is happy at the end of the two weeks, the adoption is considered final and the cat can continue settling into their new home for life.

    Please remember: During the trial period, the cat must not be sold, given away, surrendered or transferred to another person or organisation. If the placement is not suitable, the cat should be returned directly to Jesika.
