Meet the Summer Kittens – A Special Litter Looking for Extra-Special Homes

This beautiful litter of five farm-born kittens—affectionately known as the Summer Kittens—are now looking for understanding, patient, and compassionate homes to call their own. Daisy, Summer, Buttercup, Breeze and Sunny are keen to find a home with adopters who accept them for who they are.

Born and raised on a rural farm, these kittens have had very little human interaction in their early weeks. As a result, they’re naturally wary of people and will require a calm, gentle environment to decompress, settle, and slowly learn that humans can be trusted. Some may never fully transition into cuddly, domestic lap cats—and that’s okay. They deserve homes where they are loved and respected just as they are. Since being in our care, although wary of humans, have grown in confidence and are now enjoying hands off play sessions, where they can stalk, chase and hunt their toys with our staff!

What They Need:

  • 🛏️ A quiet settling-in space – A spare room where they can feel safe while adjusting to their new surroundings is ideal.

  • 🐾 Freedom to choose – Once old enough and neutered, these kittens will need access to explore outdoor life. We’re looking for homes that allow them the choice between domestic comfort and outdoor independence.

  • Time, patience, and zero pressure – They will move at their own pace. Some may warm up over time, while others may always prefer observing from a distance. Adopters must be accepting of either outcome.

  • 💛 Experienced or understanding adopters – Ideal homes will have realistic expectations and a heart for semi-feral or shy cats.

    The Summer Kittens aren’t typical domestic pets—but for the right people, they’ll be deeply rewarding companions. Please note, it is likely these kittens will either be rehomed in a pair and a three, or two pairs and one single. Ideally, the single kitten would have the company of another existing cat in the home, however we are open to discussing options with potential adopters. If you believe in giving animals the time and space they need to be themselves, and you’re open to love in all its quiet, patient forms—please get in touch by completing a perfect match form below…
