🐾 Care & Practical Questions

Are your cats health checked?
Yes – all cats receive appropriate veterinary care before rehoming.

Do you rehome outside your area?
Sometimes – this depends on the home and individual cat.

❓ How can I keep my cat safe when windows are open?

Keeping windows open can be a risk for cats, even those that are usually very cautious. Falls from height and escapes can happen quickly, especially during warmer weather when windows are left open more often.

One option we recommend is using window protection screens, such as those from Flat Cats.

These types of screens:

• Allow fresh air into your home

• Help prevent cats from falling or escaping

• Can usually be fitted without drilling

• Are strong enough to withstand claws

We want to be clear that we are not sponsored or affiliated in any way.
We simply recommend them because they are a practical solution we’ve seen work well for keeping cats safe.

As always, no product replaces supervision, but this can provide extra peace of mind.
