About Rupert
🖤 Rupert: The Best-Kept Secret in the Kitten World
Meet Rupert. Or, as we like to call him, the kitten everyone's accidentally sleeping on while they rush to adopt the gingers!
While his orange brothers have packed their bags and headed off to their forever homes, Rupert has been patiently waiting for someone to notice what we've known all along:
🥰 He's an absolute stunner. 🥰
At just 10 weeks old, Rupert is a medium-haired black and white gentleman with enough charm to make a movie star jealous. Dressed permanently in a dapper little black waistcoat, sporting a distinguished goatee, and blessed with eyelashes that would have influencers booking salon appointments, Rupert is proof that black-and-white never goes out of style.
This cheeky, curious and mischievous little fluffball spends his days focused on three important life goals:
1. Eat.
2. Play.
3. Nap.
Then repeat as necessary.
Rupert is a professional explorer who firmly believes every houseplant is hiding a secret treasure. Unfortunately for him, his foster mum has cruelly moved all the plants out of reach after discovering his archaeological digs. 🤣🤣🤣
He also enjoys chasing toys, pouncing on rolling balls, investigating bubbles, and causing just enough trouble to keep life interesting.
When the adventures are over, Rupert can usually be found curled up on the nearest blanket, recharging his batteries for his next mission.
Unlike some kittens who arrive demanding centre stage, Rupert is a little more thoughtful. He can be reserved when meeting new people and likes to take his time deciding who deserves access to his inner circle. Once he feels comfortable, though, he'll happily accept a chin scratch, enjoy a cuddle, and lounge on a warm lap, or even better, a heated throw.
Because really, why choose between affection and luxury when you can have both?
Rupert gets along nicely with children who understand that kittens aren't stuffed toys, and he's shown himself to be confident around other pets too. He has politely greeted resident cats and isn't even fazed by the dog in his foster home.
His ideal family?
Someone willing to appreciate his wonderful mix of independence, playfulness and sweetness. A family who understands that the best friendships aren't rushed and who are happy to become his devoted, lifelong servants.
So if you've been scrolling past all the black-and-white kittens looking for something special, your search is over.
Rupert has been special all along.
He's just been waiting for the right person to notice.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
ADOPTION PROCESS:
1. An Adoption enquiry should be made via
https://form.jotform.com/shellys.place.rescue/adoption-enquiry
2. Once your application has been received, one of our volunteers will contact you for a phone interview. This is to determine whether one of our cats or kittens will be a good fit for your home. We all want long-term success in placing rescue animals, so finding the best fit for the animal AND the family is very important.
3. 'Meet & Greet' with the animal and their carer will then take place if the application is approved.
4. A property check will take place via a video. Once this has been successfully completed, adoption paperwork finalised and the adoption donation processed, the pet can be collected from foster care.
5. A 14 day settling-in period commences once the animal has been collected from foster care.
6. Adoption is finalised after 14 days. Paperwork/records will be included in an adoption pack.
7. All animals will be rehomed desexed, 1st vaccinated, microchipped and treated monthly for fleas and intestinal worms. Once the adoption is finalised, the new owners are responsible for all vaccinations and preventative treatments.
As we are run entirely of volunteers we endeavour to respond to your enquiry as soon as we can. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to hold any animals. Please only apply if you are ready to adopt now.
