Animals available for adoption

Find the right match

Every animal is different. Some need an experienced home. Some need a quieter environment. Some simply need the right person to see their potential.

Browse by animal type to discover who needs a home. We’ll guide you towards the most appropriate match - for you and for them.

Adoption process

How adoption works

We want every adoption to be the right fit. That means taking care to understand each animal’s needs, your home environment, and making sure you both have the best chance to thrive.

Our process is thorough, supportive, and guided by welfare at every stage.

    If the match looks promising, we’ll arrange the next steps. Depending on the animal, this may include a visit, further discussion, or an introduction process designed around their welfare.

    Welcome them home

    If everything feels right, we’ll guide you through the final stage of adoption and help your new companion settle into home life with confidence.

Our priority is always the best possible outcome for each animal. Sometimes that means taking more time to find the right home - which, we’re sure you’ll agree, is exactly how it should be.

A real PACT story

Jordan & Steffie

Left behind. Never abandoned. From urgent treatment to a safe indoor home, Jordan and Steffie found their second chance together.

When Jordan and Steffie were found abandoned outside Norwich, both rabbits needed help. They arrived at PACT with different medical needs, but the same need for safety and care.

Jordan’s condition required urgent action: surgery for a maggot-infested wound. Steffie needed treatment for a severe flea infestation. Getting the right care to each rabbit was the first step towards recovery.

With fast intervention and expert care, both rabbits recovered. Their story is a reminder that rescue does not end when an animal reaches the sanctuary. Treatment and rehabilitation are part of helping them move towards a better future.

For Jordan and Steffie, that future was together. Once recovered, they went on to find a safe, loving indoor home as a pair - a new beginning after being left behind.

Every animal’s journey is different. Some need urgent veterinary treatment; others need time, patient care or a home suited to their needs. At PACT, rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming are connected parts of the same commitment: giving animals a second chance.

Stories like Jordan and Steffie’s show why that work matters. Whether you donate, volunteer, foster or offer an animal a suitable permanent home, your support helps make more second chances possible.

Fostering an animal

Offer safety, stability, and care

Not every animal is ready for adoption straight away. Some need time, temporary care, and the comfort of a quieter home while they recover or wait for the right long-term outcome.

By opening your home, you can offer stability, routine, and one-to-one care at a time when it matters most - and play a vital role in an animal’s second chance.
