How Cat Adoption Works in Liverpool
Adoption is usually free or low-cost. Rescues often neuter, vaccinate and microchip. They may ask about your home, other pets and experience. British Shorthairs are generally low-maintenance; they need regular but not excessive grooming and a safe indoor or supervised outdoor environment. Private rehomers may want to meet you and see your home. Always ensure the cat’s history and needs are clear before committing.
