I reckon pretty much all rescues will have a few cats that need indoor homes - I'd just ask around and see. Good luck :)

The North London branch of CPL (Archway branch) won't rehome kittens to indoor homes.

Hence why i will never donate to the HQ fund and only to CP branches that don't have such a policy.

:thanks:

The problem with old/blind/FIV cats is these people already have a cat who's very lively so they're looking for a new cat that will match his energy level.  I'm not against pedigree cats - and of course have one - but it's a shame if people end up buying a pedigree from a breeder simply because rescues won't let them have one.

The North London branch of CPL (Archway branch) won't rehome kittens to indoor homes but will sometimes rehome cats indoors particularly if they are already indoor cats and seem suitable for such rehoming. They never answer the phone so email is best (their contact details are on CatChat rescue pages...).
As others have said, blind or deaf cats in some London rehoming centres (such as HAWS) are often given indoor homes.
Also worth considering FIV+ cats.

Battersea will rehome to indoor if the cat shows signs of being afraid of outdoors or if they know its an indoor only cat.

OOOh an FIV cat or a blind/deaf cat would be ideal for indoor - that's what I'd get if I had to keep mine indoors or maybe an old cat which doesn't want to go out?

Please consider the harder to home cats in rescue.

A friend of mine had a similar problem she lives near a busy road and wanted indoor I think Hounslow Animal welfare are ok although they only let specific cats go to indoor homes - they have a couple on the web at the moment

London rescues that will rehome to indoor homes?
« Reply #1 on: November 21, 2006, 20:31:34 PM »
Anyone know of rescues in London area that are happy to rehome cats/kittens to indoor homes??

Reason I'm asking is someone on another forum asked for information about what breed cat would best suit them.? One of the reasons they are looking for a pedigree is that they believe rescues in their area will only rehome to people who have a garden and a catflap (they live in a flat).? I pointed out that policy on this kind of thing tended to vary from rescue to rescue but that many were happy to rehome to indoor homes.? They may go for a pedigree in the end anyway, but I thought it would be useful if I could suggest specific rescues for them to try if they do want to get a rescue cat.? They already have one cat who is a cornish rex cross and very playful and energetic so a golden oldie or FIV cat is probably out of the question.? I don't know what part of London they're in either.
