Adopt a Cat

Our main objective is to find good, loving homes for the cats in our care.

We vet all potential homes and send cats only to those that meet our requirements; once everyone is happy with the adoption we will deliver the cat to your home.

The Boote Home is not open to the public; visits to see the cats are not currently possible as there are not enough volunteers for this.

Sometimes things don't work out: in these cases we guarantee that we will take the cat back, but we do ask that you give the cat at least two weeks to settle into your home.

How to adopt

Adopting a cat could not be simpler:

1. Call us between 8am and 8pm, seven days a week, on 0151 228 4336

2. Leave your message and contact details

3. A volunteer will call you back to discuss your requirements and take you through the vetting process

4. Photographs and videos of the chosen cat(s) will be sent to you.

5. Your cat will be delivered to your home and you pay the relevant adoption fee upon delivery.

We guarantee that if it does not work out, for any reason, we will take the cat back.

How can I adopt a cat?

Can I foster a cat?

Yes! Fostering helps cats to transition from the cattery to a permanent home.

Fosterers provide temporary care, and Boote covers veterinary expenses. Having a spare room and a car is beneficial.
