Adoption Process

1. Fill out a form

First things first- Check out the furries we have available, and once you find a wee one that’s a perfect fit for you, click on the ‘Adopt’ button to fill out an online form! Once completed, we’ll be in touch (usually 48-72hours) to let you know if you’ve been successful.

If you live in rented accommodation, please forward a copy of your tenancy agreement that states you are allowed to have animals at the property. Without this we can not take your form into consideration.

Please also include proof of neuter for any current resident cats. We will only rehome to households with neutered cats.

(Psst.. incase you missed it, our email is info@minibeastsrescue.co.uk)

2. The home check

Once we’ve had your form back, if successful, we will contact you to arrange a virtual home/enclosure check to ensure that everything is safe and adequate, which we are sure it will be! 

This will either be a video tour of your home sent to us via WhatsApp (please include all rooms and areas where your fur baby will be allowed) or we will pop by and visit you in person!

3. Come and meet your new fur baby

With the home/enclosure check being successful, we will book you in to come and meet your new fur babies! If they’re ready to leave us, you could potentially take them home same day.

Don’t forget- 50% deposit is due after you meet your new fur babies. Remainder of the rehoming donation will be due on day of adoption.

Home tour video required no more than 3 days after submitting the adoption form. If successful, animals must be collected no more than 7 days after the home tour is submitted. This is to allow them to settle in at home quicker and to open up space in our care for other animals in need. A meet will usually be arranged within 24-48 hours of your application/home tour being successful.

If your adopted animal needs to be returned to Mini Beasts, under certain circumstances, a partial/full refund will be considered, providing said animal remains in a healthy condition. We also offer full rescue back up at Mini Beasts. This means that should there be any reason to rehome your fur baby, they will always have a place back with us (subject to space).

We are now happy to announce that we offer 5 weeks free insurance through our partner Agria Pet Insurance (currently only applicable for cats and dogs). Please let us know if you would like us to register you for this when you adopt your furbaby. 

We will not test for FIV or FeLV unless there is a clinical reason to do so. These tests can be requested but there will be an additional cost to the adopter.
