Merlin
Gender/Age:
Male 11mths
Breed:
Domestic Long Haired
Colour:
Black & white
Location:
New Romney
Merlin is a very sweet and cuddly lad who will happily sit on your lap for a fuss. He is very food motivated and will steal food from other pet bowls and plates. Potential new owners will need to be careful with food laying around and separate other pets at feeding time. Merlin has previously lived with other cats and will happily get on with gentle children over the age of 6. He will also get on with cat friendly dogs. Please pop in to our New Romney centre, during opening hours, to meet Merlin, or phone 01797 366620 to discuss further.
Tilly
Gender/Age:
Female 6yrs
Breed:
Domestic Short Haired
Colour:
Tabby
Location:
Edenbridge
Tilly has arrived at Last Chance in the early stages of pregnancy. She is looking for a very safe home where someone is keen to adopt a mum and 1 or 2 kittens and will look after the family until the other kittens are ready to rehome. Or a foster home where the family will be looked after until they are all ready for their new homes. Mum needs a quiet room of her own, and Last Chance will supply everything she needs including veterinary care and advice at any time. In a forever home, mum and her kittens must be the only pets, but a foster home where mum and kittens can be kept completely separately from other pets would be fine. Mum is looking for a home with very gentle sensible children 8yrs and over, and she will need someone at home most of the time. There will be lots of feeding and cleaning and socialising to do. It is a lovely opportunity for adopters to know their kittens from the very start and choose their favourites, or a really enjoyable experience for a foster family to look after and socialise kittens, particularly for children.
Pepper & Poppy
Gender/Age:
Male & Female pair, 8 years old
Breed:
Domestic Short Haired
Colour:
Black
Location:
New Romney
Pepper and Poppy are brother and sister and are a bonded pair. They can be a little shy at first but with time and patience will warm up and become very sweet affectionate cats. Despite being short haired cats, they have previous history of struggling with hair balls and must be brushed daily. Luckily for them they absolutely love being groomed and pampered. They are used to having outside space to roam, Poppy loves to explore but Pepper prefers to stay close to home and loves a comfy lap to sit in. If interested in this gorgeous pair, please phone staff at New Romney on 01797 366620, or pop in to the rescue during our opening times.
Tibble & Dibble
Gender/Age:
Male & Female 7weeks
Breed:
Domestic Semi Long Haired & Domestic Short Haired
Colour:
Black and Black& White
Location:
Edenbridge
An absolutely darling pair of little kittens who have sadly been brought to Last Chance after their owner had a baby and could no longer cope. They are too young to have left their own mum, but they have each other which is very important and they are doing very well. They are a pair of absolute loons, chasing each other back and forth and pouncing on their toys until they are exhausted and curl up for a big snooze. These sweeties are looking for a home with very gentle kids 5yrs and over, and can be homed with very cat friendly dogs and cats. They need a safe home with no access to main or busy roads and they will not be left for more than 4 hours in the whole day, they are eating little and often throughout the day and must keep up their socialisation. Tibble and Dibble will be the most perfect new members of a very lucky family, but be prepared to get nothing useful done for the foreseable future!
Gramsci
Gender/Age:
Male 2yrs
Breed:
Domestic Semi Long Haired
Colour:
Black
Location:
Edenbridge
Gramsci is a very sweet boy with a lovely temperament. He can be homed with gentle children 7+yrs and a friendly cat, no dogs please. He was bought as a kitten by a couple who are out during the working day and he has grown into a very independent cat who spends a lot of time outside, hunting and enjoying the great outdoors. However, he is very sweet with children and is an affectionate, placid boy who will be indoors more if the weather is cold and sit on a lap quite happily when he is in the mood. Gramsci is only 2 years old, and with lots of love and affection, he might be persuaded to spend more time in the house. He will need a very safe home, as he is used to a safe place where he could wander and hunt.
Jet & Luna
Gender/Age:
Females 4yrs
Breed:
Domestic Short Haired & semi long haired
Colour:
Tabby and Black & White
Location:
Edenbridge
Jet and Luna are looking for a new home as their beloved mum is not well and can no longer take care of them. They are a very sweet pair of half sisters who are very tolerant with children and can be homed with children as young as 2yrs old. Jet is the more adventurous of the two and goes outside, although not far. Luna has never gone outside so she will always need litter trays and both cats will stay in at night. The girls are looking for a home as the only pets and will make a really lovely addition to a loving family home.
Goldie
Gender/Age:
Female 14 years
Breed:
Bengal
Colour:
Brown
Location:
New Romney
Goldie was handed in to our New Romney centre due to her owner moving and being unable to take her abroad. Goldie very soon became a much loved girl, with both staff and volunteers. She is a beautiful, affectionate and vocal lady. She has had investigations due to a tummy issue and is now on veterinary recommended food. We had Goldie fostered, but sadly the fosterer was unable to carry on looking after her. We wish to invite applications to foster Goldie (with a view to adoption, once her physical needs are addressed). Please phone staff at New Romney 01797 366620 to discuss more, or pop in to the rescue during our opening times.
Pickles
Gender/Age:
Male 21weeks
Breed:
Domestic Short Haired
Colour:
Tabby
Location:
Edenbridge
Pickles had a poor start and has had treatment for a poorly tummy. He is on a special diet and we are expecting this to improve. Any problems will be taken care of by our vet at Edenbridge. A very loving, playful boy who is desperate for a home where he won't be left alone for more than 4-6 hours, with a friendly cat who will love him and let him play. He can be homed with gentle kids 7yrs and over and will be fine with a gentle cat friendly dog. Pickles needs a very safe home as he will be adventurous and is already interested in hunting. He will want to be involved in all aspects of family life and enjoys being cuddled and having lots of fuss and company. A very lovely, perfect family pet.
Max & Ella
Gender/Age:
Male & Female 5yrs
Breed:
Domestic Short Haired
Colour:
Black
Location:
Edenbridge
Max and Ella were found as little kittens and taken in by a very kind man who has sadly died after contracting COVID. They have been looked after by his kind neighbours while they were looking for a home and have now come to us to find a very loving home together. They are both very sweet and affectionate, Ella will sit on a lap and have a big fuss and Max will sit beside his person or sit behind their head on the sofa. Both cats will be fine with gentle children 8 yrs and over, and if they have had enough they will take themselves off somewhere quiet. Ella is very greedy and will steal Max's food given the chance, she is very overweight and a new owner would need to feed them separately to give Max time to eat properly and to help Ella to lose some weight. These two will be really lovely family pets, they have been through a difficult time and need lots of love and stability.
Millie
Gender/Age:
Female 5.5 years
Breed:
Domestic Short Haired
Colour:
Black and White
Location:
New Romney
Millie has come in to our New Romney rescue due to her owner relocating. She is a friendly girl, who enjoys sunbathing and a fuss! Millie has lived with a small dog prior to coming in to us, however Millie is most definitely not a fan of other cats!! Millie has been around children, so we are suggesting sensible, calm children, 10 years plus. Millie is quite a foodie and she is not fussy of brand or flavour. Millie is like most cats a seasonal outdoor explorer, but we ask all our cats have cat flap access to the outdoors should they wish to go out, but be kept in overnight. Please pop in to our New Romney centre, during opening hours, to meet Ivy, or phone 01797 366620 to discuss further.
Mogget
Gender/Age:
Male 6yrs
Breed:
Domestic Short Haired
Colour:
Ginger & white
Location:
Edenbridge
Mogget has never been outside and has been suffering from frustration which has become worse recently after the arrival of a new baby. He is a loving lap cat with his owner but takes a long time to warm to strangers and can turn and bite if he feels overwhelmed. He is looking for an adult only home, with no visiting children, and would benefit from a single woman owner or a gentle couple who are happy to take their time getting to know him. He will stay indoors for 8 to 10 weeks before being slowly introduced to the great outdoors in a very safe home. No other animals please. Given time and space, Mogget will be a very happy, affectionate pet.
Sooty
Gender/Age:
Female, 6 years
Breed:
Domestic Short Haired
Colour:
Black
Location:
New Romney
Sooty is a very shy girl, she would like understanding humans who will allow her to become part of the family in her own time. She has never liked being handled by humans (so far), could you be the ones to gain her trust and allow her to really feel settled in a home?
Juno and Ceres
Gender/Age:
females, 2yrs
Breed:
Domestic Short Haired
Colour:
Black & white
Location:
New Romney
Juno and Ceres are a pair of very nervous and frightened young girls who are looking for a quiet experienced home where they will be given lots of time and space to settle. They may never be entirely comfortable with being touched or handled as their previous owner stated they have always been this way so any adopter taking these girls on will need to understand this and not try to push them or force them to accept affection. They have mostly been kept indoors but may benefit from having a safe outside space to explore once they are ready, however this would need to be done very slowly and only after the girls have been kept indoors in their new home for at least 3-6 months. They will need to be the only pets in a quiet adult only home. If you are experienced with dealing with nervous, frightened cats please consider giving these poor girls the loving home they deserve.
Loki
Gender/Age:
Male 5yrs
Breed:
Domestic Short Haired
Colour:
Tabby & White
Location:
Edenbridge
Loki is an affectionate and playful lap cat once he knows a new person, but he has trust issues and is looking for a very brave, patient, kind new owner who will cope with a difficult start. When he is nervous or over-excited Loki bites and scratches very suddenly, and he needs someone who will ignore it completely until he feels safe and knows nothing bad is going to happen to him. Loki lived with his human mum since he was a kittten and has come to us, bewildered and sad after her death to find a new loving home. He needs an adult only home with no other pets. He will be fairly outdoorsy once he is settled in and is likely to bring his lucky owner "gifts". Loki is going to be a really lovely, busy, noisy very playful companion once he has found his paws, he just needs a chance and all support and advice would be given to help him and his new owner to adjust to each other. He and I get on fabulously and I am greeted every morning by a very loving boy. He particularly enjoys sharing my vegan ham sandwiches.
Cleo
Gender/Age:
Female 9yrs
Breed:
Domestic Short Haired
Colour:
Tabby
Location:
Edenbridge
Cleo is extremely fear aggressive and it is impossible to predict what might frighten her. Once scared, she lashes out fiercely without warning, and while she is recovering, which can take some time, she will continue to skalk and attack the person who she associates with the fright. So she needs a room of her own, where she can settle in, getting used to new sounds and people, and which she can return to if scared, to keep her person safe, and to help Cleo to recover. She has had three homes where her new owners found her behaviour too hard to manage. Cleo needs an indoor home where no children will ever visit and there are no other pets. She could live with a couple, where both people are happy to take their time getting to know her and take her fears seriously, or a single person. When Cleo knows and trusts someone, as she does me, it does not stop her from being scared, but she becomes less likely to react violently. She is enormously playful and so incredibly affectionate. Anyone interested in her would visit several times to become a little bit familiar before she went home, and would follow advice carefully in order to bond with Cleo in the safest possible way. Ideally Cleo would be homed not too far from Edenbridge, and I would do everything possible to help a new owner to settle her in. For a brave, gentle, patient, compassionate person who will work hard to make things right for her, Cleo will be an absolute darling, as she is with me, loving, ridiculously playful and sweet. Please get in touch if you might consider offering this unusual little cat a chance at a new life.
Milly & Misty

Breed:

Two very sweet girls whose owner is moving and cannot take them. Both are shy with strangers but will be very sweet, affectionate lap cats who will definitely want to sleep on the bed, yes please! Both cats have been nervous about going outside and will need to stay indoors for 8 to 10 weeks before being given the opportunity to go outside, and will always need litter trays in the house.
