Has anyone got a kitten available in Nottingham/Derby/Lincoln area?
Hi, I am looking for a kiiten (or two) in the above areas. I have looked around local rescue centres but apparantly its not ‘kitten season’.
I have just moved to Notts from Scotland to live with my fiance who is in the military but unfortunately he is away a lot and I’m often left on my own so would love a little kitten (or two) to keep me company.
I am willing to travel to collect and willing to pay up to £40 (rescue centres charge 60-80). I promise it will go to a loving home. Thanks for looking x

Its probably not a wise idea to ask on here but there are websites out there,where you can browse through some and hopefully get one.I know its an extra £20/£40 but that moneys going towards helping a lot of animals out,so it is worth it.
Hope this helps

Cats are NOT free or cheap! Get a rescue kitten/cat instead of paying for irresponsible backyard breed cats! Cats cost alot more then $40. Don’t think a cat from a newspaper add will be cheaper or healthier. Most likely you end up paying more to get your new $40 or less kitten healthy- NO RETABLE BREEDER WILL SELL A KITTEN FOR $40 compaired to paying for an already healthy cat 60-$80 from a shelter, pound or rescue, that will likely cost less in the longrun then what you pay for a free or $40 from a newspaper add.Most likely your new cheap $40 kitten will die from Cat flu or other illness because the irresponsible backyard owners didn’t bother to vacinate the cat. Your balking to pay Max $80 for a kitten that been spayed/neuter vacinated and wormed from a shelter, yet your willing to support irresponisble breeder that has NOT bother to spay/neuter, vacinate or wormed. If you want a healthy cat/kitten DON’T go the cheap or free newspaper route! Yes kittens are available all year around at shelter,pounds, rescue, even if it NOT kitten season. DON’T KNOCK THE ADULTS!
DO NOT LOOK IN THESE-NEVER EVER BUY FROM NEWSPAPER ADDS OR ONLINE WEBSITES SUCH AS THIS!

1.What you see is what you get. Adult cats already know who they are. Kittens are undeniably cute, but you never know what the future holds, how large they may get, what their personality will ultimately be, etc. An adorable little kitten will be an adult in the blink of an eye.
2.Adult cats aren’t as “chewsy.” Kittens have a tendancy to chew things, lots of things. Whether teething or just exploring bits of the world around them, kittens chew on shoes, the corners of books, ear lobes and fingers, carpet tassels, electrical cords, drapery strings, plants, and much, much more. Most adult cats don’t chew inappropriately at all.
3.If you have an older cat in your home and are looking for a friend for him or her, another adult cat may be the best choice. Kittens can be too playful and may upset your cat instead of providing companionship. A kitten may cause your resident cat to be more annoyed than amused.
4.After a long day at the office, you may just want to come home and curl up with your furry friend–but most kittens prefer an action packed evening–lots of touseling, frolicking, and plenty of running and jumping. An adult cat will greet you at the door and be more than happy to curl up and watch your favorite shows on TV. They’ve already learned about the unconditional love thing.
5.Adult cats may sleep at the foot of your bed, under the bed or in a cozy spot somewhere else in the house, while a kitten will most likely run around all night, doing anything possible to wake you up for more games. Adult cats are generally happy to sleep when you do and don’t try to attack your toes through the blankets in the middle of the night.
6.Adult cats won’t be climbing up your leg or your curtains, they won’t be swinging from your chandeliers, knocking down knick knacks or just running full speed ahead for no good reason.
7.Adult cats are usually a better choice for families with small children. Kittens often play rough and are constantly underfoot. They’re sharp–they can’t help it, but kittens are all teeth and claws. Generally speaking, adult cats are more mellow, and often more patient with young children. The experience should be a good one for both the cat and the child. Ask to meet the shelter’s best “kid cats.”
8.Adult cats require less attention and supervision. They’re quiet companions. They have well-developed manners, use the litter box and the scratching post without constant reminders.
9.Many adult cats end up in shelters due to no fault of their own. Separated from their loved ones, surrounded by other cats, confined, confused, and sometimes frightened, many are emotionally devastated by their misfortune. Sadly, most people gravitate toward the cute, bouncy, big-eyed kittens. Older cats sit by and watch, as one loving family after another passes them over for a cute kitten. Adopting an adult cat is a way to say to a deserving animal “I believe in you.”
For the abandoned, forgotten, and heartbroken adult cats, you just might be their last chance to have the love and warmth of a home where they can live out their years in comfort. When properly cared for, cats often live well into their late teens or longer. Typically, they will remain active and even playful throughout most of their lives. Once a cat adjusts to a new home where they can feel safe and secure again, they’ll offer years of faithful companionship and unconditional love.

If you’ll be patient, in a few more weeks it will be kitten season and the shelters will be exploding with kittens whose lives depend on finding a home. Please don’t buy a kitten when so very soon you could save one’s life. The shelter fees are a bit higher but for that money you’ll be getting a kitten who has been tested for disease, had it’s shots, and will get discounted or free spay/neuter. Paying a vet for the same services will be much higher than the shelter fee. Getting 2 kittens is a good idea if you can afford vetting for two for the rest of their lives. I promise in a few weeks, there will be more than enough kittens in shelters to choose from.
