The legal age to adopt a cat in the UK is sixteen, which applies to all pets. This is due to considerations of money, responsibility and care for our cats. Once sixteen and over, anybody can use our site to research the requirements and difficulties that can come with owning a pet cat, following our helpful advice and guides.
If under sixteen, you will have to have the support of your parents or guardians to legally rehome a cat.
It is important to remember: not all cats are happy and comfortable around children and younger teenagers. When researching to rehome cats, you should aim to filter out cats who would be stressed by your current living environment or company.
The most important factor is the safety of the cat in your home!
