Rescue kittens for adoption and rehoming in Northern Ireland

As of 8 November 2026, 13 kittens are listed for adoption in Northern Ireland on LocalPetFinder, from Kumiko Cat Lounge, Paws and People, Petal's Place Cat Rescue, Almost Home Animal Rescue NI and Friends Of Rescue NI. Each profile links to the rescue, and you apply to adopt with them directly.

As of 8 November 2026, Kumiko Cat Lounge (at Belfast): 5, Paws and People (at Banbridge): 3, Petal's Place Cat Rescue (at Newry): 3, Almost Home Animal Rescue NI (at Moira): 1 and Friends Of Rescue NI (at Derry~Londonderry): 1. The newest was added on 6 November 2026. Each profile links to the rescue, which handles the adoption.

Only in England, where cats must be microchipped before they are 20 weeks old. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland microchipping a cat is your choice. Check the kitten's profile or ask the rescue whether it has been chipped.

At the large charities, the fee pays for that vet work. Cats Protection says its cats are vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated and neutered (or come with a neutering voucher if they are young kittens), with a vet health check and four weeks' free insurance. Smaller rescues set their own terms, so ask what a particular kitten has had and whether a vaccination or neutering is still due.

As of 8 November 2026, none of the 13 kittens listed in Northern Ireland is marked by its rescue as part of a pair to be adopted together, but you can ask a rescue whether two kittens could go home with you. Each rescue sets its own fee for a pair, so ask what it charges. Cats their rescue lists as a bonded pair are on our bonded cats page.

It depends on the cat, not its size or age. As of 8 November 2026, the rescues mark 12 of the 13 kittens listed in Northern Ireland as able to live with children, 11 with other cats and 6 with dogs. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue, and supervise early meetings with children whatever the cat.

The kittens listed in Northern Ireland today are with Kumiko Cat Lounge at Belfast (5), Paws and People at Banbridge (3), Petal's Place Cat Rescue at Newry (3) and 2 other rescues; each profile shows that rescue's fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every kitten on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre.

For comparison, Cats Protection says £100 to £120 for a kitten on average.

Not here: we only list cats with rescues, so every kitten listed here is adopted for the rescue's fee, which usually covers vet work already done. Whether to buy is your choice. Adopting means the rescue can tell you what it knows about the kitten's history and health before you apply. If you decide to buy a pedigree kitten, Cats Protection suggests a breeder registered with a breed association such as the GCCF, and seeing the kitten with its mother at home rather than buying from a video or social media advert.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 13 kittens listed in Northern Ireland today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Kumiko Cat Lounge at Belfast. 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. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue.
