Adopting a rescue cat in Fife
- Kitten or adult cat? Kittens are full of energy, while adult cats already have settled personalities, which makes it easier to find a good match.
- Consider a bonded pair. Rescues often have pairs of cats who need to be rehomed together, and they keep each other company.
- Indoor or outdoor? Some cats need to live indoors for health reasons, while others need outdoor access. Rescues will help match a cat to your home.
- Prepare a safe room. A quiet room with food, water, a litter tray and a hiding place helps a new cat settle in.
- Plan for the costs. Budget for food, litter, vet care and pet insurance as well as the adoption fee.
