Hi, my name is Vern!

I have been waiting 24 days for a home

Learn more about Vern

Meet Vern – a distinguished older gentleman with a quiet charm and a strong sense of personal boundaries.

Vern isn’t the type to demand constant attention, but he does enjoy companionship on his own terms. He’ll happily keep you company, lounge nearby, and share calm moments, as long as you respect that he has a limit when it comes to pats. Think of him as a “consent first” kind of cat – he’ll let you know when he’s had enough, and he appreciates someone who understands that.

Behind that independent streak is a genuinely lovely boy. Vern has a gentle presence and a soft spot for a peaceful home where he can relax and be himself. He’d do best with someone who values a low-key companion and is happy to build trust at his pace.

If you’re looking for a mature, character-filled cat who will reward your respect with quiet affection and companionship, Vern might just be your perfect match.

While I'm awaiting my forever home, I'm being fed Royal Canin, who are generous partners of AWLQ!

Please Note:

Please visit our Animal Rehoming Centres during opening hours to meet our animals and adopt. No appointment is needed. For select animals, we will require an email application. Where this is the case, instructions will be specified on the animal's profile.

This website is live and updates frequently. To check if an animal is available, please check their adoption profile. If it is active and hasn't been marked as 'adopted', the animal is still here.

Please be aware there is a chance that by the time you arrive at our location, the animal you have an interest in might have been adopted, or another party might be going through the adoption process.
