Where can I adopt a ginger cat in England?

With the rescue that has the cat. Today the ginger cats on this page are with Rescue Remedies (3), Cat Action Trust 1977 (Leeds) (2), Cheadle & District Animal Welfare Society (2), Feline Friends London (2), Freshfields Animal Rescue (2), Animal Concern Cumbria (1) and 11 other rescues. Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

Are all ginger cats male?

No. Cats Protection says roughly two thirds of ginger cats are male and a third are female. The rescue's profile will say whether a particular ginger cat is male or female.

Why are most ginger cats male?

Because the ginger gene is on the X chromosome. Cats Protection says a male cat, with one X chromosome, needs only one copy of the gene mutation to be ginger, while a female, with two X chromosomes, needs it on both, which is less likely.

Are ginger cats good with children?

It depends on the cat, not the breed. Most of the 23 ginger cats listed in England today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the cat could live with.

How much does it cost to adopt a ginger cat in England?

The ginger cats listed in England today are with Rescue Remedies at Smallfield (3), Cat Action Trust 1977 (Leeds) at Leeds (2), Cheadle & District Animal Welfare Society at Cheadle (2) and 14 other rescues; each profile shows that rescue's fee. Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Cats Protection says you can expect to pay £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten, varying between its branches, and Blue Cross fees start from £150 for cats aged 4 months to 7 years. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

Are there ginger kittens for sale in England?

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every ginger cat on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 23 ginger cats listed in England today are with Rescue Remedies at Smallfield (3), Cat Action Trust 1977 (Leeds) at Leeds (2), Cheadle & District Animal Welfare Society at Cheadle (2) and 14 other rescues, and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile. For comparison, Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten. If you searched "ginger kittens for sale England", the ginger cats here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that kittens under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Can I get a free ginger cat to a good home in England, or one under £100?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 23 ginger cats listed in England today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Rescue Remedies at Smallfield. At the large cat charities, fees for one cat are under £200: Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten, and Blue Cross fees start from £150 for cats aged 4 months to 7 years. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. In England, cats must be microchipped before they are 20 weeks old, so ask to see the microchip details.

Yes: 2 of the 23 listed in England are aged 10 or over by their listed age. Some rescues charge less for older cats: Blue Cross fees start from £100 for cats aged 8 or over.
