Well hi there, this is Alan. He's a little shy and likes to hide if it's a bit noisy in the cattery. We know he would be a loyal companion to someone with a big heart, who can give him a little time to settle in.
Our volunteer photographer Nicky has only met him twice, and after this photo he was purring and rubbing around her legs which is a sign of trust and affection. You just have to meet him to love him!

Archie is a perfect tuxedo - a ruffly shirt, those white cuffs and a suave milk moustache as well. Always ready for dinner (and breakfast and lunch) - all he needs is a date, would you dare to adopt a cat this handsome?

Happy Tails from Bonita 🐈

We’ve loved receiving this lovely update from Bonita’s new family.

Bonny has settled in brilliantly and is showing off her playful, affectionate personality more every day. She’s full of energy, especially in the evenings, has found her confidence around the house, and now loves zooming up and down the stairs!

She’s also become quite the chatty cat and enjoys nothing more than morning coffee cuddles in bed with her humans ☕🐾

Bonita is still getting to know resident cat Big Sooz, and while there have been a few cautious growls and the occasional hiss, things are progressing really positively. They’re now happily eating meals together, relaxing in the same spaces, and have even enjoyed some peaceful naps near each other.

Her family say they’re hopeful the friendship will continue to blossom and we couldn’t be happier to see Bonita settling into home life so well 💕

Someone gave up on Cilla when she was still just a teenager.

Like many young dogs, she was learning how to cope with the world around her. Busy places, new people, and other dogs could feel overwhelming, and sometimes she reacted out of worry. She didn’t need blame. She needed support.

Despite her nerves, Cilla quickly showed us how bright she is. She loved food, learned new skills fast, and responded brilliantly to training.

She also adored playtime, especially soft toys, and her fun, cheeky personality began to shine more each day. With routine, enrichment and understanding, Cilla grew in confidence and learned to settle.

After waiting what seemed like a lifetime, Cilla found her forever home. Her new family understands she is still learning and will keep helping her become the happy, confident dog she was always meant to be.

But more teenage dogs like Cilla are still waiting for their chance.

Seven signs you live with a cat in their teenage phase:

1️⃣ Suddenly independent… like “don’t touch me” energy
(Young cats often become more independent and less clingy as they mature)
2️⃣ Mood swings go CRAZY
(Mood swings are common during feline puberty thanks to hormones)
3️⃣ Zoomies with zero warning💨
(Adolescent cats have bursts of high energy and curiosity)
4️⃣Testing EVERY boundary
(This phase is literally described as cats “testing limits”)
5️⃣More attitude + occasional aggression
(They can become more territorial or reactive as they reach sexual maturity)
6️⃣Loud at the worst times (usually 3am)
(Increased vocalisation is common)
7️⃣Suddenly obsessed with escaping/exploring
(Roaming and curiosity increase as they look for mates or new territory)

And while they’re figuring themselves out, many adolescent pets in shelters are still waiting for a chance.

Bath Cats and Dogs Home is helping these misunderstood pets - because they deserve love too.
