About domestic shorthair cats in Glasgow
Domestic shorthairs near Glasgow are listed with us by Purrple Cat Rescue, the only rescue we list inside the City of Glasgow, and by Fife Cat Shelter near Kinross. Purrple runs a rescue centre and cat café at 22 St Enoch Square and keeps other cats with foster carers across the city. After an application form come a phone call and a virtual home check by video, then approved adopters wait in a pool for the right match. Cats in foster cannot be met before you adopt, to protect the carers and the cats. Fees are generally from £250 per cat, and chasing your application by message can move you to the back of the queue.
Fife Cat Shelter, a Scottish charity since 1993, is about 39 miles from Glasgow. Many of its cats board in its own units at two private catteries, at Scotlandwell and near Cleish, so you phone the shelter, not the catteries, and arrange a time before visiting. The donation is £120 for a neutered cat and £100 for a kitten not yet neutered, paid when you collect; cats are collected in person, it never delivers, and a kitten must be neutered by six months.
