"I adopted from Roxie’s Rescues and they were a fantastic charity to deal with. Professional from the outset, and they go above and beyond to find good homes for the animals being fostered in their care. Communication was brilliant and I just couldn’t rate them highly enough. Our little rescue kitten is the best thing that has ever happened to us."

"After losing one of our two cats in April 2020, I was hoping to adopt a kitten to keep our older cat company. I contacted a number of rescues locally, but given lockdown restrictions I did not seem to be getting much of a response. My friend had recently adopted through Roxies and recommended them. They arranged a virtual (video) home check and within a week matched me to a kitten. I collected him (hands-free and socially distanced) in January, as the rescue ensures that all kittens have completed their first set of vaccinations and are in good health before being homed. All the animals in their care are fostered, so are used to home environments and people and pets of all ages. Our little kitten is very confident and well adjusted which shows the work the volunteers and foster carers put in with him. I'm so glad I took the recommendation of my friend and adopted through Roxies and I'll be a lifelong supporter!"

"Roxies Rescue is great, for both adoption of animals and the shop, unfortunately due to Lockdown sales in the shop have had to go online and as most of roxies staff are volunteers and have day jobs it's sometimes difficult to get hold of someone, be patient! I adopted 2 beautiful kitty cats from Roxies and they have been very supportive. I've also recommended them to others. Again, please be patient and remember, this isn't their full time job x"

"I have nothing but praise and admiration for Roxies Rescue. Almost 2 years ago I adopted two gorgeous black kittens and they are wonderful cats, playful, fit and as healthy as they were when I picked them up from the foster mum. I have recommended Roxies to many friends. During the adoption process I couldn't help but notice the huge number of animals looking for adoption and although requests had been made it all came down to the all important home check. The team, all volunteers were struggling to get round everyone, often travelling 60/100 miles to do a homecheck so I decided to join in and help them. Over the short time before Covid I helped where I could and I met some lovely families who ended up with a their chosen pet. If you see a pet looking for adoption or foster and you are genuinely interested in helping this Charity out then send the person who posted the animals details a private message stating as much information about yourself as possible and give at least two ways of contacting you back. Please be patient because many of these volunteers have full time jobs and busy home lives too. If you are thinking of helping by fostering or adopting an animal in the near future then request a home check now and then there will be no delay once you find the animal you could love. I am hoping to find two more cats to love and adopt and with Roxies foster families helping me to choose I know they will be just Purrfect."
