ADOPTIONS

Are you interested in adopting an ex breeding female?

From time to time we are offering retired breeding queens for adoption.

After a spay operation the retired female’s rank in the group drops due to her hormonal changes. These are picked up by all cats in the group. This “shift in power” greatly influences group dynamics, often with the result that the spayed female isn’t able to comfortably settle into her now lower rank position. This even occasionally leads to fighting.

In those instances we feel that it is kinder to find such a girl a pet home where she can claim the sole attention of their new family or of a single owner.

It varies from cat to cat if they are wanting to share their new pet home with another cat or if they prefer to be a single pet from then onwards. We carefully assess this before any re-home.
