About Katkin
A beautiful and sweet kitty, Katkin is approximately 5 years old.
Her elderly owner passed away and so Katkin ended up at a pound but wasn’t coping in that environment but is thriving in foster care!
Katkin loves to snuggle up and is super affectionate when she's in the mood.
She likes to hide in the top of closets or under couches, wherever she can curl up and have some quiet time.
She's highly curious and will leave no stone unturned, drawer uninvestigated, corner uninspected or toilet bowl untouched.
Even after a tough few weeks between shelters and losing her mum, the first interaction with her foster parents was all love and affection. Smooches and pats for hours. She hasn't been afraid to say hi to friends when they visit either.
Katkin is happy to do her own thing during the day, often spending most of the daytime curled up in one of her cosy hidey spots.
She has her playful moments but they're usually short and sweet.
Katkin likes to come up onto the bed at night for a good night snuggle. Will often be at the end of the bed when you wake up as well.
She is a Calico/Torti and the "Torti-tude" does come out from time to time, but it's always followed by an "I’m sorry" snug shortly after.
She does also communicate by hissing occasionally.
She's not food motivated and will eat when she feels like it. Can be fussy but will usually eat what she's given (eventually).
We believe Katkin is best as an only cat where she can be the centre of attention.
If this lovely girl has caught your eye, send the team an enquiry and they’ll send you an adoption application to complete and return as the first step in the adoption process.
Adoption details
1. Initial email enquiry via Pet Rescue messaging system. *This email may go to your junk email folder.*
-Please do not enquire if you are only thinking about adopting - enquiring should only be done once you are 100% certain that you are going to go ahead with adopting.
2. Full application form required to be returned before Bast will contact a prospective adopter (check your messages / email / junk mailbox messages within 24 hours for the form).
-If we don't hear from you we may presume you are no longer interested, so please let us know if you have changed your mind, or adopted another kitty.
-Bast Team will only allow cats to be adopted who are given the best care, and this starts with their food. Our adopters must choose Vet food (Hills/ Royal Canin) only.
-Please ensure that you have written landlord approval to have a pet before enquiring.
-Please message us on the cat or cats you are interested in and we will ask you to fill in an adoption form and send it back to us, so we can get the relevant details from you.
3. Phone conversation IF your application has met the needs of this cat(s) from our team lead.
4. Meet and Greet with cat or kitten
5. Adoption (with trial period - contact Bast Team should there be any issues, even years in the future)
-All adoptions are subject to a settling in period. If for any reason your new addition is not suited to your lifestyle, we ask you contact us, rather than dropping the kitties off at a shelter or another organisation.
Please note we are a volunteer run, small organisation so please be patient with us, and understand that with some of our kitties, we get several responses, and if you are not successful with a kitty you applied for, perhaps you are more suited to another of our kitties.
Thank you
Bast Team
