Rescue charities across the region are looking for households willing to open their homes, and their hearts, to a feline friend. With many cats currently up for adoption, some are sadly, not being looked at twice.
Jasmine came from a very loving home where unfortunately the family’s new baby was allergic to cats. Jasmine came in with her best friend Sierra, and it is hoped they will find a home together, but staff will consider applications for one or other cat.
Sierra is a 10-year-old tortie and white cat, who has obviously been very much loved and cared for, like her BFF Jasmine. Sierra is an independent huntress of a cat who would not be out of place roaming the Serengeti, as she loves to explore and have adventures.
Staff are struggling to find someone who will take both Sierra and Jasmine as they said: "We know it’s sometimes a big ‘ask’ to take a pair but these two love each other and we would really love to find them a home where they can stay together."
Mimi is a strikingly beautiful 13-year-old Bengal cat. She much prefers her human friends over her fellow felines. She’s very outgoing, which is not typical of Bengal cats.
Mimi behaves much more like a domestic cat, and is more than ready for a loving home. Her ideal home would be one with either no children, or sensible older children.
Beautiful Bella is the rescue's longest-staying cat, and would dearly love to find a cosy spot, comfy sofa and a place in the sun. Bella has been overlooked for some time now and staff think her diabetes is a big factor in that.
Her condition is easily managed with daily injections, which are not painful and cause her no stress as she’s used to them by now. Bella will do anything for a treat, which of course has to be given sparingly as she needs to have a proper diet.
12-year-old Kitty has had some tough luck being rehomed and is needing a quiet family that can look after her. She is nervous, loud noises can spook her but once she is settled and trusts her humans she is the best lap cat.
Jasper and Tilly came in as a trio via an RSPCA Inspector from a home of various cats living in filthy conditions and not being attended to. There were meant to be five kittens but two were missing, presumed deceased.
