We are delighted to announce that from the end of October 2020, we will be working in Partnership with Java Whiskers. The cats that you’ll see in the café are originally from The Scratching Post Cat Rescue. You can find out more by reading the below or you can visit the Java Whiskers UK website by clicking here.
An extract from the Java Whiskers website reads…
We are delighted to be opening our Java Whiskers Cat Café in London and would love you to join us to celebrate our Grand Opening on the 31st October. Java Whiskers, already loved by many in our first Stockholm Catcafé, are thrilled to be bringing the experience to London Marylebone. Java Whiskers is a relaxing haven for everyone to enjoy, with a core mission to raise the public awareness of homeless cats, and together with the public and our partners, to find forever homes for as many cats as possible.
Meet some of the cats and kittens…
Hoxton | Female | 1 year old
I’m a real sweetheart and I’m super friendly to everyone I meet! I love attention and love, lots of love! In my new forever home I dream of just that -LOVE- and also a garden would be wonderful
Jasper | Male | 3 years old
I’m an adorable ginger who loves my best friend Wrigleys. A dream come true would be adopted to a calm, peaceful and loving home with plentiful food , toys and my friend. We want to live indoors without small children.
Wrigleys | Male | 3 years old
I’m a friendly sweetheart! Me and my best friend Jazz are looking for a new forever home together. I love playing around with him especially running away with his toys. We are looking for loving humans that can offer us a calm home with plenty of food, toys, no kids and indoor.
Willywaw | Male | Born 2022
Boy, I’m a confident kitten who loves to play and fun time, just as much as I love sleeping on your lap. I’m a sweetheart meowing for love. That’s why I want a cat friendly in my new home if possible.
Ballyhoo | Male | Born 2022
Shy, me? No, no! I’m a fearless little heartbreaker charming everyone I meet. Bold, friendly and playful- and I won’t say no to a good belly rub! FYI: I will persuade you with my gentle eyes that I NEED some of your clotted cream!
Teazel | Female | Born 2022
I’m a tiny girl and I’m friendly and playful! Cuddles are my favourite activity, I love cuddles. I may be small and I may be a little feisty but I have the softest purr they say! I dream of a forever home with another cat friendly.
The Scratching Post Cat Rescue and Java Whiskers UK Rehoming Policy
Procedure for adoption
1. Register your interest directly by sending an email to: adopt@javawhiskers.co.uk, providing the following information:
Which cat are you interested in? Either name of cat or ‘open’ if you do not have a specific cat in mind.
Have you ever had a cat before?
Do you have other pets at home and if so, how many?
Will the cat be living with any children? (please specify ages)
Are you looking for an indoor or outdoor cat?
Tell us a bit about yourself…
2. The Scratching Post Manager will review all emails. If you are selected as a potential adopter, you will then be contacted by The Scratching Post for a virtual home check. This will be done via video call and will take approximately 20-30 minutes. During the call, you will be asked to show us around your home as well as answer some further questions. You will also be asked for proof of address e.g. council tax bill.
3. If successful, The Scratching Post will contact you to confirm.
4. Adoption will take place from the Java Whiskers Café, by appointment agreed with Java Whiskers. On adoption, you will be provided with: the cat’s vaccination card, microchip registration forms and one month’s Petplan Insurance.
5. All cats rehomed are: vaccinated, neutered, health checked, flea and worm treated prior to rehoming.
Disclaimer
The cafe houses a max of 35 cats during each cycle for rehoming. There will be many applications. Therefore, it is inevitable that some applications may not be successful for each cat. If you are unsuccessful, you may wish to be kept on file for future cats, or alternately rehome direct from The Scratching Post, where there are many other cats waiting to be adopted.
By registering your interest in a cat, you are in acceptance that Java Whiskers and The Scratching Post reserve the right to make any final choice of adopter. These decisions will be made in the very best interests of the cat.
When rehoming one or two of our cats, the most important aspect is finding the right match for both the cats and the owners.
