🏠Rehoming Update🏠

Thank you for all of your support so far on our cat introduction posts.
We wanted to share the fantastic news that on the back of these posts, we have been able to rehome Marley and Cassie. Beans is also soon to go to his new forever home!

Suki, Aura and Sooty (pictured below) are still to be rehomed, along with all of our other wonderful cats at the centre.

So, if you're thinking of giving a loving home to one of our cats, please do not hesitate to get in contact.

😺Introducing Beans😺

Beans is a handsome 2 year old domestic short hair tabby male. He has been with us for 4 months.

Beans is a sweet soul who adores cuddles, almost as much as he loves his treats!
He is a very vocal boy who has so much love to give to the right person or family.

He is fully vaccinated and neutered. However, currently Beans is finding life at the welfare centre rather stressful. He has taken to pulling out patches of his own fur and we believe this may be due to boredom.

As a result, Beans would need an understanding home that gives him opportunities to play but also his own quiet time so he doesn't become overstimulated.

Beans is suited to a family with older children and can live with other cats (NO DOGS), provided the proper introduction overtime is conducted.

If you match Beans' requirements and think you can give him the home he so desperately deserves, please contact us for more details.

😺Introducing Sooty😺

Sooty is a magnificent 4 to 5 year old black male who has been in our care for 10 months.

Sooty is not our friendliest of residents and can be rather temperamental. He is not one for fuss or lots of cuddles, however, is a big fan of his food and treats and we have utilised this to gain some of his trust.

Sooty is fully vaccinated and neutered, ready to find an environment he can thrive in, which he thoroughly deserves.

It is essential that Sooty goes to an experienced and dedicated owner and into a home where there are NO other cats and NO children. It is also vital that he eventually gets to have access to outdoor space.

So, if you meet these requirements and think you can give Sooty a loving home with independence and are willing to provide the time and patience he requires, please contact us for more information.

😺Introducing Aura😺

Aura is a beautiful long - hair female aged 2 years.
She has been at our shelter for just over 8 months.

She is in good health and fully vaccinated as well as neutered, ready to find her lifelong, much deserved home as soon as possible!

Through no fault of her own, she has become mistrusting of humans and therefore can be temperamental. She is also very territorial so is disliking of other cats.
She has taken to certain staff members only so would need a routine and a lot of independence, however, she has great potential to be the perfect feline friend FOR THE RIGHT PERSON.

Once again, due to her circumstances prior to being surrendered to us, it is imperative that she goes to a home with NO other cats and NO children.
She must be an indoor cat initially but may be more suited to having outdoor access with more space as time goes on and she becomes familiar and learns to feel safe within her new surroundings.

If you think you can give Aura the time, patience and dedication she needs to help her thrive and live her best life, please contact us for more information.
She truly deserves so much love.

😺Introducing Suki😺

Suki is the sweetest 7 year old, black and white female.
She has been with us for a year and 5 months and has unfortunately gone through a failed rehoming during this period.

Suki has ongoing cystitis, however this has been kept under control at our shelter and she has had very few accidents.
She is fully vaccinated and neutered so is ready to find her permanent home straight away!

Suki is the kindest, most gentle sweetheart and absolutely adores all the fuss and cuddles! She will be sure to make for the best friend and furry companion.

She requires a calm environment as stress can exacerbate her cystitis, so medication as directed by a vet must be given regularly as required.
Due to her loving nature, she can be rehomed with children as well as other cats AS LONG AS the sufficient introduction process is carried out AND a calm homelife is maintained.

If Suki sounds like she might be the purr-fect addition to your home, and a calm and tranquil space can be guaranteed, please contact us for more information.

😺Introducing Cassie😺

Cassie is a 7 year old, black and white female who has been in our care for 1 year and 5 months, in which time she has seen a failed rehoming.

She is in very good health, fully vaccinated and neutered so is ready to go to her forever home straight away.

Cassie can be a little aloof and is quite independent but once she gets to know you, she enjoys having cuddles (on her own terms of course!)

Cassie is best suited to a one - cat household and due to having no experience with children, is only to be placed with older children or only adults.

Cassie has been waiting so patiently for her forever home where she can feel safe and settled for such a long time. If you can provide the time and space she needs and are cat - free + have no children/ only older children she might just be the perfect companion for you!

If you are interested, please contact us for more details.
