Looking for a kitten? We have temporarily closed our kitten waiting list as it is full. Please check back regularly as new cats and older kittens are added to our website as soon as they are ready to find a new home. We will put the link to our kitten application form back on here once we reopen our waiting list.

“Alex has been such wonderful company for me. I would like to thank the RSPCA Derby for helping me find the perfect match and assisting me with tips on introducing Alex to my other dogs.”
“My adoption of Pixie and Mew at RSPCA Derby was relaxed, happy and a very friendly process. Mew and Pixie are best of friends and so loveable.”
“Taking Alice on foster to adopt was so helpful, as it meant that we could continue the bonding process in our own house and were not rushed or pressured to mix.”
“As soon as I saw William, I knew he was the rabbit for me. It is wonderful how many rabbits the RSPCA Derby helps and am proud to have given one of them a home forever.”
It’s hard work (lots of cleaning, cuddling and grooming), but lots of fun. It is also interesting to research in order to provide for all their physical and emotional needs. Well worth the hard work when you finally win their love and trust. I wouldn’t be without them.”
Two weeks ago I adopted a beautiful tortoiseshell and white cat called Marnie who is the best £150 I have ever spent. She came to me neutered, vaccinated and with up-to-date treatments fully detailed in the adoption pack. She’d obviously been taken great care of looking at this and her clean, well equipped surroundings. The centre gave me excellent guidance both there and within the adoption pack on how to care for her. They really made sure Marnie and I suited each other's needs and got it absolutely right!
