Hello lovely people, I’m Sugarplum
I originally came into care as a stray with my mum and two siblings. I was rehomed, but sadly returned due to a change in my owner’s circumstances.
I’m a sociable girl once I get to know you, but I can be a little cautious at first and need time to warm up. When I’m comfortable, I do enjoy a gentle stroke—especially an ear tickle! I don’t mind being picked up for a short while, but I can become overstimulated, so I prefer not to be handled too much.
I can be quite vocal, particularly at feeding time (I like to make sure I’m not forgotten!) and I may even try to help myself by knocking food out of your hands. Treats are definitely the way to win me over.
I’m a very intelligent cat and love puzzle feeders and food toys. I tend to show off my clever side at night when it’s nice and quiet. I’m currently on an obesity diet, so I’ll need support to stay healthy in my new home.
I’m not a fan of other cats, although I’m less stressed seeing them than I used to be. However, I would still prefer to be the only pet in the home, ideally in a quieter area with fewer neighbouring cats. I would also prefer a home without young children, as I can become overstimulated by noise and too much handling.
When I feel stressed, I may overgroom, which has caused some patches of hair loss. This is something my new family should be aware of, and I may benefit from calming support while I settle in.
I have been spayed, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. I’m also up to date with my vaccinations, flea, and worm treatments.
If you think you could offer me the calm, loving home I’m looking for, please fill in an enquiry form—I’d love to meet 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.
