Adopt a Cat from Feline Friends London
Our adoption fees are £125 for a single kitten under 6 months, £200 for a pair of kittens under 6 months, £120 for an adult cat, and £90 for cats of 10 years and over.
All adult cats in our foster care will have been vet-checked, neutered, fully vaccinated, deflead, dewormed, and microchipped by the time they are rehomed. Kittens of 9 weeks are rehomed with a first vaccination and will have had a full vaccination course if rehomed at 13 weeks. For cats under 6 months, we need you to agree to get them neutered and microchipped by 6 months of age, which can be arranged through us.
Cats rehomed directly from their current owner or carer are assessed for their health, but may not have been neutered, fully vaccinated, deflead, dewormed, or microchipped by the time they are rehomed. If this is the case with a cat you would like to adopt, we need you to agree to get them neutered and microchipped, which can be arranged through us.

Meet the Cats Looking for New Homes
Polly and Slinky
Polly and Slinky
Slinky Pinky and Rolly Polly were rescued a few years ago by a volunteer and Feline Friends London. Slinky was a young stray who was crossing a busy road to raid bins from a restaurant. Polly is Slinky's only surviving kitten and was rescued the night of the Coronation after she and Slinky were found in a front garden shed.
Thanks to their rescuer’s loving care, both of them opened up tremendously and have been enjoying the good life ever since. After their rescuer moved, we’ve had the pleasure of looking after them.
Slinky can be best described as an adorable force of nature whose life revolves around how many treats she can dupe you into providing her. Second to that, she adores playing with us (and Polly) and fetching us her favourite catnip fish. She loves to call out to us and deliver said fish, and it has become a ritual we observe multiple times a day (you must thank her for this meal despite its inedibility!). She is also missing a canine, which gives her an endearing snarl whenever she looks up. She loves being pet on the head and having her nose rubbed (fear not, we’ll demonstrate live). She does love a back rub, too, but she’s a dainty lady who prefers to be touched on her own terms. In the two years since her rescue, Slinky developed what appears to be a dermal allergy that affects her leg. We manage it with a small steroid pill and an antihistamine daily, which she loves to take alongside her treats. Despite being experienced fosterers, pilling cats was never our forte, so we’re extremely grateful that Slinky willingly takes her pills! Long-term, we’d like to wean her off the steroid and manage the itchy leg with antihistamines. Beyond keeping us entertained with her shenanigans, she spends most of her time sleeping in cardboard boxes and taking as much space as possible next to us in bed. She dotes on Polly and enjoys grooming her every chance she gets.
Polly is twice her mum’s size, and despite being almost 3 years old, maintains her kittenish habits. She has an endless amount of energy for playing, and will bring you her toys whenever she wants you to join her. She shares her mum’s vocal abilities and will cutely call to you whenever you abandon your toy-wielding duties. She’s an intelligent creature who communicates her needs very clearly. She also enjoys rolling around carpets, truly living up to her name. She was quite timid when she came to us, but has blossomed into a cat that loves to sleep in our bed and be pet. During the colder months, she loves to nap on our legs and watch TV. Like her mum, she’ll follow us around the house like a shadow and chill out in her favourite box when she’s tired (or her transport cage, oddly enough!). Lastly, one of her many passions is fly-hunting, so don’t be alarmed when you see her bounce and spin in the air!
If you’d like to give Slinky Binky and Rolly Polly a chance to live out their best years in a loving home with a garden, then do get in touch with us. Until then, they’ll be safely in our care, hunting flies and hoarding cardboard boxes. Please note, they find small children overwhelming, so they'd do best with teens/adults. They are curious but afraid of dogs. Polly is very interested in other cats, but Slinky is less so. We can see them doing well with kittens, though.
