Please consider the following before applying to adopt:
Out of consideration to our very small volunteer teams it is important that you read the points below carefully before submitting an ADOPTION APPLICATION form:
-
Thoroughly read our guide for newly adopted kitties to have realistic expectations of the responsibility of owning a kitty.
-
Please familiarise yourself with our FAQs to learn more about the adoption process and our response times.
-
For kittens, we prioritise those who are looking for pairs of kittens and in the second instance, those who already have one cat.
-
Kittens get the most interest and we only rehome them as indoors and very rarely on their own
-
The most applications we get are for kittens, so please be aware that we might not get to you, let us know in your application if you would consider other types of cats as well.
-
Be sure that you are ready to adopt and do not apply on whim out of consideration to our very small adoptions volunteering team.
-
Think if you are ready for a commitment of looking after a kitty for many years to come (including during their senior years), cats can live 16+ years.
-
Make sure you get permission to have a kitty at home before applying.
-
Only submit one application, if you wish to update it, message us via email, Instagram or Facebook and let us know which kitty you like.
-
Ensure you have specified what kitties you are interested in, including your previous experience so we can get a sense of you and your home to try to find the best fit.
-
We will only adopt outdoor kitties if they have been used to the outdoor life before or when it is the best choice for the kitty. We will publish this information for each kitty on our website and will assess this on an individual basis and will check the candidate's home for busy streets close by and other possible dangers.
-
We will prioritise applicants that do not have a cat or have 1 cat. If you 2 or more cats, we will only consider your application for cats who may be considered as 'difficult to adopt'.
-
Cats specified as indoor cats, should be kept indoors at all times, please read our FAQs for more information.
-
Terms apply to all adoption applications.
-
Please keep in mind that we will most likely not be able to provide vaccinations during covid.
We have received hundreds of applications due to covid we won't be able to get back to everyone individually, please read our FAQs to familiarise yourself with our process.
Make sure to check your SPAM or 'Promotions' folder in your email for any communication from us.
Kitties for adoption
Please note that most ages are approximations as we don't always have the kitty's history.
Butter & Fox
10 weeks / female & male / indoors
Butter and Fox are playful and adorable kittens. They are the tabbies out of the litter, so they are paired to go to a home together.
Butter is the most shy out of the litter. She likes to play with her brothers and is very good at dribbling. However she is still scared of people so she will need a patient home. She doesn't mind being handled and is open to getting more comfortable with her forever family.
Fox has the most gorgeous eyes and a playful nature. He adores being stroked and will eventually ask for tummy rubs. He has recently been enjoying watching the football!
Butter & Fox are very excited to go to their new homes where they can warm up to people even more and grow up with their forever family!
Baby Bear & Kiwi
10 weeks / male / indoors
Baby Bear and Kiwi are a curious pair of brothers who like to explore all corners of the home. They are affectionate and playful with humans, as well as each other.
Kiwi is a big eater and loves to playfight with Baby Bear. Baby Bear loves his tummy rubs and has a signature sleeping pose. Baby Bear is the more affectionate one out of the pair whilst Kiwi is more vocal.
Butter & Fox are very excited to go to their new and loving homes where they can continue to explore and grow!
Lady & Splodge
3 years & 1.5 years / male & female / indoors
Lady lives up to her name - she's a small round ball of fluff who likes to keep to herself and keep an eye on Splodge, and will groom and nap with him sometimes. She loves a good scratch & head rubs, and will let you know by coming and asking for them! She's so cute, very playful, and loves her lounging time.
Splodge is a very long cat - almost like a dog! He's very sweet and enjoys following you around the house - he just wants to be with you, and loves attention. He naps on the sofa next to his fosterer a lot.
Christophe
.jpeg)
14 years / male / indoor
When he came into our care, Christophe had ear cancer, which meant sadly he had to have both of his ears removed.
Christophe is a people kitty, he loves being with his humans but also doesn’t mind being left alone for long period of times. When his fosterers are in the living room he will sit next to them, as close as possible and loves being pet on the head!
He follows his fosterer around when awake and doesn’t like to be excluded, but he definitely spends a lot of time sleeping (and looking too cute). If you are after a big softie, Christophe is definitely the one for you.
He is a purring machine, vocal when hungry and getting used to eating at a normal pace (with not many teeth) which means he must have not had much food available to him in the past. He loves attention but also has boundaries.
Seth
.jpg)
10 years / male / indoor / FIV+
He's cute, curious and at times cautious. He secretly loves strokes when he's in the mood, but won’t let you know it. He loves chasing toys and playing in general and will need lots of stimulation during the day to tire him out!
He came to us with an injury that required that some his tail was amputated, and he sometimes seems a little surprised when he forgets and then notices!
We think that he faced some form of abuse in the past, as certain things do spook him out, and his behaviour mimics that of a cat trying to survive. He is still scared of sudden movements, but he's learning to trust and the rewards are incredible. 💕
Matthew ('Matty')
5 years / male / in&outdoors
Matthew 'Matty' went from being a timid, shy cat who hid under the bed to a super friendly and playful kitty! He's a super affectionate (and very attention-seeking) cat nowadays, who loves to follow his fosterer around, greet them at the door, and always wants to be stroked!
He doesn't love being picked up, but does enjoy strokes and affection, and is getting more comfortable around strangers. He requires a lot of attention - because of this we'd suggest that Matty goes to a home where at least one person is home for most of the day.
Sprog & Pete
12 weeks / male / indoor
Sprog is super affectionate and loves sitting in your lap, and begins to purr and flops over immediately when you stroke him! He likes to play with his humans and the other kittens, but isn't too fussed on toys. He can get easily spooked, but he's learned that he doesn't need to hide (although he does still like sitting in small hiding spots).
Pete is also a floppy guy, and loves some lap time. He has the cutest wide eyes and little white patch on his chest. He's been nick-named 'Pete the Poet' by his foster parents as he comes across as a thinker, and will be vocal if he's alone and wants some company! He's very playful, but as with many kittens he can be a bit clumsy!
Callum & Dilly
12 weeks / male / indoor
Callum comes across as an ancient soul, not just because of his Sphinx-like face. He's the most playful of the bunch, absolutely loves playing with toys - he needs a lot of play time, otherwise he gets a bit boisterous with the others (although they all seem happy to play with him). He's exceptionally friendly, and loves to bump heads and loves to touch you, or curl into a crook of the leg or arm when you're relaxing or napping.
Dilly reminds his fosterers of E.T. with his wide eyes - he'll often look at you and cock his head, as if trying to understand something that's alien to him. He's mega affectionate, and likes a head-bump and being close to you. He's really playful and loves a game of chase, and loves toys!
Legend
4 years / male / indoor/outdoor
Legend is a sweet and independent cat. When he first went to his fosterer, he was shy, but within days he was full of energy and love.
His favourite activity is sitting in front of a window and seeing the birds come by, hearing the different sounds. He loves the outdoors, but he requires a safe and enclosed outdoor space to be able to explore while remaining safe from traffic.
Legend is like a bodyguard, following his fosterer room to room. He does not love being picked up, but he likes to snuggled on his own time (bed time). He even enjoys watching TV with humans! Legend is a very loving kitty who is looking for a home with people who love him and have a safe outdoor area for him.
Queen Peanut's kittens (homed in pairs)
10 weeks / indoor
Mayhem Coconut (female) is the most adventurous of Queen Peanut’s Kittens; she’s a little daredevil. She likes to walk around the desk when her foster human is working from home, and climb any object she can, and that includes people.
Tygra Pine (female) is still the smallest of the litter, but she can definitely out-eat all of them. Tygra Pine likes to smack her lips while eating, she fully believes in enjoying her food. Tygra loves a cuddle and has the best falling asleep faces.
Danzig Apple Seed (male) literally squeals until he gets what he wants - and what he wants is cuddles and snuggles. Except, on the odd occasion when he just wants to play.
Zorg Macadamia (male) is a bit of a loud mouth! He's very chatty and likes to jump! His special move is to do a sneak attack onto his fosters knee before curling up for a nap on their lap.
Samson
2 years / male / outdoor (needs garden)
Samson “Sammy” is a moody teenager that’s finding his independence.
He’s a fiercely loyal and cuddly little creature. He’s smart, active and craves human attention. He is looking for a home where there are humans around for the best part of the day as he struggles when left home alone for long periods of times.
He’s looking for a home in a quiet neighbourhood where he has lots of territory to explore. He is quite territorial and isn’t shy of using his classes so would not be suitable for a home with other pets or young children.
Betty
16 years / female / indoors
Betty could be the sweetest cat you’ll ever come across!! She loves attention and never ever stops purring. She is incredibly loving and gentle, never scratches or bites, and doesn’t mind being picked up for cuddles.
Although she is 16 years old, you’d not be able to tell as she is still very lively and enjoys investigating new environments and sounds. She recently had some blood tests done and she will require thyroid cream applied daily.
Betty spends most of her time cat napping, receiving strokes, or following her foster parent around the house. She is a confident kitty and will not take long to warm up to her new family.
Timmy
6 years / male / indoors / FIV+
Timmy lived on the street for a few years but you'dd never know it - he’s a true gent and very mild mannered. He enjoys being spoiled with lots of affection, and loves a cuddle!
He loves to be groomed! As soon as his foster parent picks up his brush he’ll be straight over. He even allows the occasional claw trim...
He enjoys: sleeping, sitting on window sills, laying in the sun, classical music, most TV, scratching his scratch-post, his cat-nip mouse and eating. He dislikes: sudden movements, dancing and vacuum cleaners.
Timmy would enjoy being in a fairly quiet home maybe with older kids that pay him lots of attention. He is FIV positive so will be need to be kept indoors at all times, and will need medical insurance.
Zara & Tango
Both: 1.5 years / female & female / indoor
Zara went from skin and bone, to a happy and healthy kitty. Attention is always welcome, if she is not asking, then she is expecting it. She loves to greet you with a little meow first thing in the morning, and as soon as you get through the door. When excited, Zara will wag her tail in the same manner as a dog.
Tango is a delicate and shy boy. Due to a tough past, Tango can be easily spooked and will take a little while to settle into his surroundings.
He is a sweet and gentle boy with a face that will melt even the coldest of hearts. Once he feels comfortable, he will accept love in the form of endless belly rubs. When excited, he will make chirping sounds as if he is talking.
Zara really enjoys playing with tunnels and chasing her toys in and out. It is quite enjoyable to watch and will definitely make you laugh. She encourages Tango to play too, demonstrating the strong bond between the pair. Zara has been a rock for Tango, helping him to come out of his shell. He depends on her just as much as she depends on him. They are an amazing pair who deserve a lot of love.
Madelaine - Assigned to an adopter!
12 years / female / indoors
Madelaine was found as a stray - she had a feeder but was quite skinny and very matted - so she had to be shaved, as you can see in the photos.
She can be quite cautious when her foster is moving around the house, but always wants cuddles when they've settled. She's very friendly, but cautious, and can take some time to build up trust.
She's very vocal when she wants her food, and a is very much a lap cat on her terms. She loves a cuddle to keep warm, and likes to join her fosterer in bed rather than sitting on their lap on the sofa.
Dexter - Assigned to an adopter!
1.5 years / male / indoors/outdoors
Dexter is a sweet and gentle boy. He’s very talkative and loves physical contact.
He likes to be picked up, held and stroked. He’s well behaved at night, either entertaining himself or sleeping at the foot of the bed.
He’s looking for a forever home with lots of things to climb, or a safe, enclosed garden.
He is litter trained and love teasing toys. He isn’t partial to wet food, but loves himself some cat treats
Ralph - Assigned to an adopter!
4 years / male / indoor
Ralph is a sweet, affectionate and curious cat. He requires quite a lot of attention and is high energy (but also loves his sleep!). He loves to chase feathers attached to his wand toy but is also willing to sit and cuddle on your lap. He also loves a game of hide and seek and will chase you around the house!
Ralph is an indoor kitty and does not get along with other cats, so would benefit from a household that doesn’t intend on owning other pets. That said, he loves people, and he’s pretty needy - he’ll meow after you or wait by the window for you to come home, so would prefer a home where someone is around for most of the day.
Miu Miu & Scrabble - Assigned to an adopter!
10 years / female / indoor
Scrabble and Miu Miu are the cuddliest pair of kitties. They love the company of humans of all ages (basically anyone who is up for a snuggle or some endless playtime).
Scrabble is the most dominant of the pair, she loves so set up camp on your lap and will happily spend the best part of the day there.
Miu Miu doesn’t like to be picked up for cuddles, but will nuzzle into your armpit for head massages. Miu Miu has no teeth.
They are both fine with children, but are quite skeptical around other animals.
Naomi - Assigned to an adopter!
5 years / female / indoor/outdoor
Naomi is the sweetest little girl and is going to make her adopters very happy!
She’s quite chatty and very laid back. She loves relaxing and napping in what looks like uncomfortable places to humans. She spends ages playing with her tunnel toy, and loves to receive attention in the form of scratches.
Naomi is looking for a loving home with an enclosed outside area far away from busy streets so that she can still explore while being safe!
Adopting with L.I.C.K
We will review applications on a cat by cat basis (as they are ready to be adopted), in the order that they came in and we will prioritise the best match for each kitty. Therefore, it is quite difficult to provide timelines.
Once a kitty has been decided and you have been approved to proceed via an initial phone call, we will put you in touch with the fosterer so you can meet the kitty. We try to make this process as speedy as we can, as we don’t want to lose potential adopters for the kitty. Please note that this step is currently done via a video call.
After this, please let us know if you wish to adopt the kitty. We sometimes have multiple people wanting the same kitty, so we would appreciate you letting us know as soon as possible.
We will then arrange the transfer and will do a home check (this can be done via video call during Covid) . Once this is approved, you will have to sign an adoption form. We will change the chip ownership transfer and the kitty is officially part of your family! :)
If for any reason you are unhappy with the kitty, we will take them back.
The Adoption Donation for a kitty is £80.00 or £150.00 for a pair. All donations go towards veterinary care for our kitties. All other costs are paid by fosterers, trustees and volunteers out of their own pockets.
If you are residing in a congestion zone, we kindly as that you help pay for the congestion charge.
