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.

Do long-haired cats need a lot of grooming?

Yes, more than short-haired cats. Cats Protection says long-haired cats need brushing daily to prevent tangles and mats, while short-haired cats need about a weekly brush. PDSA says domestic longhairs have a much longer coat which requires regular grooming.

What should I do if my long-haired cat is matted?

Take the cat to a vet. Cats Protection says not to brush or cut mats out yourself, because knots close to the skin can tear it, and scissors are especially dangerous. A vet can clip the mats under sedation.

It depends on the cat, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 2 of the 8 domestic longhair cats listed in and around Plymouth as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the cat could live with.
