Our Cats

Each of our residents has their own story, personality & pace.

Meet our residents

They are here to find their for forever homes - and help you slow down in the meantime.

Dorothy & Sophia

2 years old

Dorothy and Sophia are bonded sisters who must be adopted together. They can be shy at first, but once settled they love attention, cosy beds, and chirping away to each other throughout the day.

Marvin

2 years old

Marvin arrived as a very shy boy still learning to trust people. He has grown in confidence, and now loves being in the middle of things, as well as frolicking and romancing with Lily, his favourite tabby. He's still cautious about human touch, but loves to play, have a sniff of your hand and say hello!

*Lily and Marvin are bonded, so they come as a package, to be adopted together

Mim

Less than 1 year old

Mim is a super-affectionate and sweet girl. She was handed in to the vets as a stray with a very bad case of flea allergy, so she lost some fur and had to be treated to let her skin recover. Curious and playful, at around 8 months old (July 2026), her kitten days are not quite behind her yet.

Trudy

Less than 1 year old

Little Trudy was rescued as a very young kitten from a growing rural colony whose feeder couldn’t look after them any longer. She *may* be related to one of our original crew, the gorgeous ginger Teddy. She’s very small and quite timid at 7 months (July 2026), but once she has gained your trust she enjoys cuddles and will purr and purr.

Lily

2 years old

Lily is a timid little girl with very strong opinions about personal space. She likes to do things at her own pace, but with patience and kindness she slowly begins to soften.

*Bonded with Marvin. Lily & Marvin will be looking for a home together.*

Mikey

5 years old

Mikey is a quiet kitty that is still settling into Kumiko life. He was found in a poor condition by BKR but has healed wonderfully and is trusting humans more and more everyday. He loves to watch everyone in the lounge from his safe place high up.

Lola

2 years old

Lola is a stunning black cat that arrived to Belfast Kitten Rescue with three kittens. She is a timid cat, but so friendly, so she was likely owned at some stage and later abandoned. Lola will make an incredible companion and is looking forward to finding her perfect match at Kumiko

Nina

1 year old

Beautiful Nina was picked up while straying with her three tiny kittens, two of which sadly passed away. Nina is a very shy girl who has never experienced the comforts of a loving home, and will need time and patience to find her groove. We are hopeful that she will settle in and enjoy our cosy lounge while waiting for her forever home.

Thomas

1 year old

Thomas is a very handsome boy! Apparently fathered by a full pedigree Russian Blue straying in the Omagh area. He has all the hallmarks with his Smokey coloured coat, stunning wide eyes and sweet little face.

Toby

Less than a year old

Toby is a beautiful, tall and sleek tabby. He is a super friendly, affectionate boy who will happily enjoy some attention after a bit of encouragement. Toby was owned, but difficult circumstances let to Toby finding his way to Belfast Kitten Rescue.

A calm transition space

In partnership with Belfast Kitten Rescue, Kumiko welcomes rescued adult cats into a calm transition space while they prepare for adoption.

All of our cats are:

  • Neutered
  • Vaccinated
  • Health-checked
  • Carefully matched to the environment

Fur-ever home found

We honestly didn't expect the happy endings to come this quickly. Every adoption is a reminder of why Kumiko exists, and we can't wait to share each story with you.

The adoption process

One of the most special parts of Kumiko is seeing our rescue cats find their forever homes. If you meet a cat during your visit and feel a connection, we’d love to help you explore adoption.

  • 1. Meet the cats

    During your visits, you’ll have the chance to spend time in the company of our rescue cats. Sometimes a connection happens immediately — and sometimes it grows quietly over time.

  • 2. Submit an enquiry

    If you feel you’ve met the cat for you, simply complete our enquiry form.

  • 3. The Match Making

    Carol from Belfast Kitten Rescue will get in touch for a chat.

  • 4. The happy ending

    If everything aligns, the adoption will be arranged directly through Belfast Kitten Rescue, who will guide you through the final steps.

Belfast Kitten Rescue

Belfast Kitten Rescue is a self-funded local rescue run from their own home, caring for abandoned and unwanted cats from across Northern Ireland. Their work supports every stage of a cat’s journey — from rescue and rehabilitation to everyday care and rehoming.
