Rehoming Process.
Step-by-step guide.
Step One:

Fill in our perfect match form. You can express a preference for a cat or cats you have seen on Cats Available page or our Facebook page, but when we contact you we will advise whether you are a match for a specific cat. Please note it is RSPCA policy to rehome kittens in pairs for company, unless there is another cat-friendly cat in the home. You must live within one hour’s drive of Darlington.
Step Two: Sit back and wait. As we have limited rehoming resources, unfortunately we cannot acknowledge receipt of application forms. Waiting time for us to respond to applications is around two weeks, so please be patient.
Step Three: Your details will be added to our database and we will contact you when a perfect match is found. When we have a perfect match you will receive an email or phone call, asking for further information and/or advising you whether we are able to pair you with a specific cat at this time.
Step Four: If we can offer you a cat or cats for adoption, the remainder of the application process will be completed via phone, email and video conferencing.
Step Five: If the adoption process is successful, you will either be asked to pick up your cat, or your cat will be brought to your home by experienced RSPCA staff. There is an adoption fee to pay when you get your cat.
Step Six: You will receive ongoing support from us following adoption, and a post adoption home visit or video conference may be carried out.
