Success Story of the month
Update
James & Lamin, home together
James was rescued from the streets of Dubai extremely sick and malnourished, while Lamin was found alone at just five weeks old, struggling to survive the summer heat. Once safe, the two became inseparable - playing, wrestling and cuddling like brothers 💕
After everything they went through, James and Lamin have now travelled to the UK together and are happily settled in their forever home in Eastleigh. Their difficult days are behind them, and their new life has begun ✨

Your questions, answered
How do I adopt a cat with Forever Paws?
Search our available cats using location or traits filters. When you find a match, complete our short inquiry form. We’ll reach out within 48 hours to arrange the next steps
What is included in the adoption fee?
Our adoption fee helps cover: full vet health check, vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, and the microchip.
Adoption fees can vary depending on where you are in the UK as local vet and care costs differ, or if the cat is an international adoption. On average, you can expect to pay £150 to adopt an adult cat or kitten within the UK, and £200 to adopt a rescue from abroad.
Can I see the cat before adopting?
Yes! Many cats are in foster homes and visits are by appointment only—this helps reduce stress for rescued cats. We’ll arrange a safe meet‑and‑greet in a calm setting
Can I adopt if I live in a flat or rented property?
Absolutely, as long as your landlord allows pets. All our cats can thrive indoors; some may need an indoor-only home. We can help you find a match suited to your living situation. Please provide documented permission if renting
Why should I adopt instead of buy?
Adopting saves lives—each cat from Forever Paws has been rescued from street conditions, given medical care, and placed into foster before adoption. We focus on matching cats based on temperament and your lifestyle—often more insightful than buying from a breeder
Why haven’t I heard back about my inquiry?
We review all inquiries carefully—this can take up to 5 business days due to ongoing rescue operations. If you haven’t heard from us within that time, please reach out via email or phone—we’re happy to support you
