Spitfire was found in a scrap car with her kittens. The kittens have now flown the nest and it is now time for her to have a home of her own.
She was initially very unfriendly which is totally understandable. As her kittens matured she became less hostile and more accepting of our advances. She is food orientated which will stem from being on the streets and caring for her babies.
It is very unlikely she will ever be a lap cat but we believe given the time and patience she will adapt to living in a house or at a rural property. If she moved to a small holding she would be great at keeping unwanted lodgers at bay.
She has been the perfect house guest and has lived with a very chilled out dog in her golden years and an older cat.
She has been spayed and vaccinated and is FIV negative.
If you are interested in offering Spitfire her new forever home please email the branch or leave a message on our answerphone or send a text to 07954122481 to ask for a copy of our perfect match form.

Cat Adoption FAQs
- Can I come and look around? We currently privately board at Bowler’s Boarding Cattery where the majority of our cats and kittens are cared for. We also have some living in foster care in private homes so you will need to get in touch to arrange to meet a cat you are interested in via email (office@rspca-tameside-glossop.org.uk) or leave a message on our answer phone 07954122481.
- How do I adopt a cat? First, have a read of our adoption process. When you have decided you would like to adopt from the branch have a look at the cats for adoption and get in touch to start things rolling.
- Where are the cats boarded? Some of our adult cats and kittens are cared for by volunteer fosterers in their own homes until they are adopted, so you must make an appointment to meet these in addition to those in our shared (with RSPCA Stockport branch) cat accommodation in a private boarding cattery “Bowlers”.
- What is the adoption fee? The cost for adoption is from £85 for an adult cat and £95 for a kitten see the table above for what this includes.
- My circumstances mean I can’t adopt at the moment is there any other way I can help? Yes have a look at our animal welfare volunteering and fundraising pages.
- Can I make a financial donation to help branch cats? Yes, you can donate directly to the branch by cheque or postal order, please send an email and we will gladly send you the correct address to send this type of donation to, or by cash at one of our collection days.
Good to know…
- Kittens will only be rehomed to families where there is someone at home during the day and where there are no young children under 5 years of age.
