Meet Banana, A Three-Legged Character Looking for His Puurfect Human🍌

Don't let the missing leg fool you— Banana doesn't let anything slow him down. This handsome three-legged gentleman gets around brilliantly and approaches life with confidence, determination, and a healthy dose of sass.

Banana is not your typical lap cat. He knows his own mind and isn't shy about letting you know when he's had enough, so he's looking for an experienced cat owner who appreciates feline independence and understands cat body language. Think of him as more "distinguished gentleman" than "cuddly teddy bear."

His funny personality really shines through. He's full of character, enjoys things on his own terms, and will keep you entertained with his quirky antics and expressive opinions. He would thrive in a calm, adult-only home where his boundaries are respected and where he can build a relationship at his own pace.

What he lacks in legs, he more than makes up for in personality. If you're looking for a cat with resilience, confidence, and enough attitude to fill a room, Banana might just be your perfect match.

🐾 Meet Selma and Patty 🐾

These beautiful sisters are looking for foster-to-adopt homes where they can continue building their confidence and discovering everything the world has to offer.

Both girls are affectionate, gentle dogs who haven't had the easiest start in life. Having had limited exposure to the wider world, they can find new situations a little overwhelming at times. However, they are making fantastic progress and are growing in confidence every day!

Because of this, both Selma and Patty are looking for patient, understanding homes that can continue supporting them at their own pace. They would benefit greatly from living with a calm, confident resident dog who can help show them that the world isn't such a scary place.

🏡 Experienced, patient owners preferred
🐶 A confident resident dog is essential
👧 Older children only
❤️ Foster-to-adopt homes required

Both girls are food-motivated, eager to learn, and already showing just how much potential they have. With the right guidance and encouragement, they have every chance of blossoming into wonderful members of the family.

As part of our foster-to-adopt programme, we will remain closely involved, providing ongoing support and resources to help set both the dogs and their new families up for success.

⚠️ Please note: Selma and Patty are seeking separate foster-to-adopt homes and will not be rehomed together.

If you think you could offer either Selma or Patty the loving home they deserve, we'd love to hear from you.
