A sensational start to September adoptions!
Four cats out the door today to new homes - including Charlie the Siamese who has settled splendidly, little kittens Darla and Calippo and a permanent place from foster to adoption for Viola. To add to this reserves were placed on ELEVEN more cats and kittens!!

What do you reckon is September going to be a record breaking month for adoptions …it feels like it just might 👀🏆

Please help! 🆘 Harp and Cello are less than one week a way from spending ONE HUNDRED days confined in the cattery. 😕😕😕

This delightful duo are less than a year old and the firmest of friends …you don’t ever get one without the other …yet have been repeatedly overlooked and other cats chosen instead.

They are looking for a quiet home together, of course, without very young children and with a garden they can enjoy in time.

They are ready to go right now. Please help them to escape the cattery before we reach 100 days!

Are you looking for a pair of outta this world kittens??

Meet Mars and Jupiter! 🪐🪐 Sister siblings looking for a new life on Earth together! 🌍

They are a little shy so are looking for a calmer home without very young children where they can build their confidence and enjoy the time and space to let their personalities bloom.

They love mealtimes and are very interested in toys so should settle in just fine. They will want garden access once they are older too.

*Trumpet now reserved*

You may remember we mentioned taking in quite a few young cats from one home…with so many we decided to build our own orchestra, naming them after musical instruments!

It’s taken some time but they are are all steadily finding homes with little Oboe adopted this weekend and Gong heading off later in the week.

Leaving behind just a trio now …. And we wanted to show you the delightful Trumpet! As you can see she is beautiful! She is desperately trying to be brave but cattery life is holding her back!

She, we feel, would do really well living with another cat as she adores our resident cat, Betsy. We find them chirruping and rubbing against the cattery pen against each other.

We know Trumpet will bloom in a quiet and loving home. Could it be with you?

Sometimes, despite being abandoned, left alone with a litter of kittens in Home Bargains (Dover) and then getting struck down with cat flu ….little darling cats like Bev show extraordinary resilience, tolerance and recovery.

Bev, now named Bolina broke down all her challenges and has shown herself to be a truly delightful, playfully perfect family friendly cat who is happiest living with her new playmates - young children, a tortoise and a dog who couldn’t care less!

Not all cats who experience trauma can cope with the hustle of family life but when they do we love love love love to find that purrfect match.

This we think the girls, our resident dynamic duo Betsy and Belinda should grace these squares! 13 years young and living their best lives every day.

Give a kitty a choice and wow they certainly know how to LIVE THE LIFE!

Maybe they’ve even said hai to you if you have visited us!

Happy goodbyes this week!

We said goodbye to Bev, Bumblebee and Venus on the 31st of July and kicking off August with already 7 adopted and 10 reserved including Willow and Bob.

Over the last few days we have said goodbye to Earth, Uranus, Paprika, Triangle, Webbigail Vandaquack, Waddlesworth the First as well as Baklava! We wish them all well in their new homes!

Pictured below is Bumblebee when he first came into RSPCA care, likely dealt with all sorts, maybe even a potential road traffic accident. He’s now settling in his forever home being king of the palace and loving life! We love to see how our cats are settling and Bumblebee definitely had fans at the centre.

It’s thanks to you all that this is possible.. so thank you for choosing to adopt 😊

After two long (and warm!) weeks of getting stuck in, we say farewell to vet med student Morgan! She has been epic to work with, got stuck in and been a welcome pair of extra hands in the busy summer season!

Morgan’s feedback on working with us was pretty nice too:

‘As a vet med student hoping to develop my knowledge of cat husbandry and gain some hands-on experience, the RSPCA offered me the fantastic opportunity to undertake a two-week placement with them.

I was able to get involved with the daily tasks in the cattery, assist with the vet visits and spend lots of time socialising with the cats (definitely a perk of the job!). It was a privilege to have gained such an insight into their incredible work, and I am delighted to have now joined the team of volunteers. A huge thank you to all of the staff!’

We do run a year round work experience and volunteer placement scheme so if you are aged over 14 and completing your DoE or over 16 if not and looking to do a week or more placement then do get in touch at [email protected] to apply.

We do get a lot of requests so we run a first come first served booking placement each week.

Kittens Webbegail Vanda Quack and Waddlesworth the First are sad today. 😔

No one chose to adopt them at the adoption weekend and they are still patiently waiting.

They could be rehomed together or separately and are absolutely full of fun, totally bomb proof enthusiastic joyful kittens! They love meal times and playing and snoozing. They would enjoy living with children of any age and could live with a cat friendly dog. They will need garden access too.

They have had a bout of cat flu so no other cats in the house is advisable.

They are already neutered and vaccinated and are ready to go…NOW!

Add sheer joy to your summer with these two purrfect pets!

Meet Juliet …looking for her Romeo…

Well kinda ….

She’s looking for a new person to sweep her off her paws. This graceful gentle wonder in white is an easy going laid back little lady looking for her new abode.

She’s looking for a simple stressful life - no other pets or small children.

An ideal companion for someone who is either home during the day and enjoys having a pal to potter around the garden with, or if you are out at work during the day, no bother, Juliet will greet you when you return with a head bump and a tummy rub.

Juliet is in good health, vaccinated, neutered and all ready to pack her bags and start her new life.

Is it with you? 🤞🏼
