Maple and Acorn are a 2-year-old mum and 11-week-old son ginger duo who are looking for their forever homes together or separately.

Maple is a sweet but feisty little lady who is incredibly affectionate and friendly in her own way and very much on her own terms. She will headbutt, nuzzle and rub herself up against anything and everything around her, often with so much enthusiasm that she regularly bonks her head or knocks herself off balance. She is incredibly playful and will happily bowl her son out of the way if it means getting to a toy first. She loves string toys and bouncy balls and has a particular talent for impressive jumps and back flips when chasing her favourite mouse toy. With time and trust, she enjoys a head scratch or chin tickle and is becoming more accepting of strokes in general. After a few months of being a busy mum and looking out for herself and her kittens, Maple is ready to find a safe and comfortable home where she can relax, have some fun and continue to discover just how lovely people can be.

Acorn is a typical ginger boy kitten who is incredibly fun, playful and enthusiastic and, since day one, has toddled around the house with complete confidence as though he owns the place. He loves any and every toy he can get his paws on, whether that’s charging through his tunnel, wrestling with a string toy, chasing balls and mice, trying to catch fish and mice on his foster family’s phones or even getting into a scrappy wrestling match with their hands. Once he’s worn himself out, he has a wonderfully cuddly side, complete with a very loud purr, and is starting to headbutt and rub against his foster family just like his mum. Acorn was the only one of his three siblings to survive and, as a result, has had to learn to entertain himself and rely on his mum and foster family for companionship. He’s now ready to find a forever home where he can have plenty of fun, cuddles and adventures.

Maple and Acorn have previously lived with other cats and would likely be happy to share their new homes with feline companions. Maple would also be happy to live with children who are respectful of her boundaries.

Both Maple and Acorn will be neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before adoption.
