Important

We help find homes for cats and kittens who need them. These are usually stray, lost or abandoned cats. They come in all sizes, shapes and colours. That does not make us a sort of cat supermarket, able to produce a feline that matches your decor, taste or lack thereof.
We get way too many people asking us for cats of a particular colour and shape - usually 'white with a bushy tail'. If you have a particular preference, you know what, go look for a cat yourself. If you're genuinely interested in changing an unfortunate cat's life, you won't care what colour it's going to be. Otherwise, please, don't waste our time.

People.

We help kittens find loving homes. That's how it works. We're not a kitten supermarket, we don't supply kittens on the basis of colour, weight or size. If you really want a feline friend to care for, the colour isn't that important. I've seen people turn their noses up at grey tabbies or tortoisehells, and yet two of the most loving cats we have are a grey tom and a tortie girl.


We have to draw the line somewhere - actually we draw a lot of lines when it comes to adopting out kittens - and I'm afraid we can't really entertain requests that state a strong colour preference. I've always had cats who either moved in on their own or had to be taken in because no one else would have them, and I have never found that colour makes a difference to how awesome a cat is going to be.

WHAT NOW? I still remember a rather annoyed Yasmine telling me to google grey tabbies before I came in to see Thorn and Saphira. We are racists, and not just with animals!

Hello!

Sorry, we are kind of desperate and cannot find a home for our 2 little kitties.

We live in Edappally, Kochi. My husband and I rescued 2 small kittens off of the streets. We brought them into our home and love them very much. However, we have to go back to the U.S. in August and need to find a good home for them here. Money is no object, we could sponser them until they get adopted out. They are potty trained to go in shredded newspaper as we cannot find kitty litter here in Kochi. They have seen a Vet and go back to get their rabbi shots at the end of this month.

We have to go to Bangalore in August and could take them with us and bring them to you if you could take them and find them a good home.

I could send you a picture of them if you like.

Thank you.
