About Mercutio

Animal:

Cat

Breed:

- Domestic Short Hair

Age:

3 years 2 months.

Sex:

Female

Meet Mercutio, a truly beautiful girl with a gentle and sensitive nature. She arrived in our care with her siblings after their previous owner was no longer able to look after them.

Mercutio is a shy cat who is searching for a calm, adult-only home where she can feel safe and secure. She has previously lived with other cats and could happily share her new home with a friendly feline companion. However, she has no experience living with dogs, so a dog-free environment would be best or introductions would need to be approached very carefully.

She will need a patient and understanding owner who is happy to give her the time and space she needs to settle in and build her confidence at her own pace. Once she feels comfortable, Mercutio will flourish and show her lovely personality. She will also need access to the outdoors in her new home.

If you think you could offer Mercutio the fresh start she deserves, please fill in an enquiry form—we’d love to hear from you.

Our Adoption Process

There are a few simple steps to go through before welcoming your new pet into your home.

Step 1:

Complete an application form

Once we have received your completed form, one of our animal welfare team members will contact you to arrange either a physical or virtual home visit before offering a viewing either at our Branch office, at the fosterer, or at the private boarding establishment the animal is being housed at.

Step 2:

Getting to know each other

We conduct a physical/virtual home check and once this has been passed, you can arrange to view the animal at a time that works best for you and the fosterer. Our home checks are conducted by our Animal Welfare Team who will contact you directly to arrange a time that suits you. Home checks are a common practice when adopting from most animal welfare organisations, and are done as part of our duty of care to ensure our animals find an appropriate home, so please do not be offended when asked to arrange one. They are nothing to worry about and our staff are suitably trained to make sure the process is as relaxed as possible – they are also a great chance for you to ask any questions you may have about your potential new pet.

Step 3:

Welcoming your new pet

Once the home visit has been conducted, we will arrange the adoption process to be completed at a time suitable to you and the fosterer. Please note: as part of your adoption from us, your new pet will be neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and will have received internal & external parasite treatment. If the animal is too young at the time of adoption, we will supply you with a voucher for neutering and pay for their first vaccinations. You will also be provided with a complete veterinary history of your new pet and 4 weeks pet insurance with PetPlan. This can take up to a week to be compiled so there may be a delay between a home visit being approved and the adoption appointment taking place.
