✅UPDATE 23 Aug - now matched✅
Thankyou for everyone who enquired she has now been matched with viewing confirmed.

Yooo hooo humans… I am a 6 year old full-figured fluffy Ragdoll lady who enjoys a good pamPURRR. I’m very much loved, but my owners circumstances mean I’m looking for a new home.

I enjoy lying next to you and may occasionally sit on you, but basically I just want to get as close to you as possible. Typical Ragdoll. I love cuddles and BIG tummy rubs and will follow you around. I like my paws to be rubbed too and I LOVE cheese dreamies to be hand-fed to me. I did say I like a good pamPURRRR. I love lying in the sunny spots and when the light hits my beautiful blue eyes… WOW!

What with Ragdolls being quite a big breed I’m more like the size of a small dog! Especially with all this longhaired fur.
When winter comes my coat almost doubles in size.

The type of fur on Ragdolls is like millions of the thinnest finest threads of silk which can easily tangle seemingly overnight or almost in the breeze sometimes! DAILY GROOMING with an appropriate cat brush is needed to avoid tats ever forming. Willows have seen cases in the past where meticulous grooming is neglected, so small tats soon become bigger tight mats that then can’t be untangled and can eventually tear the delicate skin at the base by which time expensive professional grooming with possible sedation and clipping is needed. This is of course ideally best avoided and can be with simple, proper daily care. THANKFULLY I’m not like that I AM TIP-TOP and TAT-FREE and looking every inch the gorgeous lady. I’m very proud about my cleaning/beauty routine. But anyone taking on a Ragdoll or any other breed with the same fine-easy-tangle-type-fur needs to not neglect this daily grooming care.

Whilst I have lived with another cat… I think I may prefer to be a pampered lady alone… to be the apple of your eye. I’ve lived mostly as an indoor cat, but access to a safe fully enclosed garden or a catio would be fabulous.

I’ve been around a visiting child 6 years+ so a kind gentle child or maybe two might likely be ok.

Its cold. Are you coming back?

Remember me? You couldn't wait to have me. I was so small and cute and I was FREE. You thought about getting me fixed,
but I was a baby and that was a long way off. We were best friends. Then you started packing, and I was excited, we were
going to go on an adventure. And then you were gone, and lam still here. It's cold. Are you coming back?

When you take on a pet, you are taking
on a life and a moral and legal
responsibility to take care of that life.
Please don't abandon pets.

She brought a leaf in exchange for my barbecue skewers. As I tended to the sizzling grill, I noticed her standing there—a small, scruffy dog with eyes that held a world of stories. Her fur was matted, and her ribs peeked through, evidence of a life filled with struggle. Yet, despite it all, she had a certain grace about her.

I watched as she observed the bustling crowd around my food cart. People came and went, their hurried footsteps echoing on the pavement. Some stopped to buy my skewers, others simply glanced and moved on. But she stayed, her gaze unwavering.

It was then that I realized she wasn't just hungry for food; she hungered for connection. She studied each customer—their expressions, their interactions, their kindness or lack thereof. And in that moment, I saw her vulnerability. She wasn't just a stray dog; she was a survivor, a silent observer of human behavior.

I decided to offer her a skewer. She hesitated at first, as if unsure whether to trust this unexpected act of kindness. But when she took the meat from my hand, her eyes softened. It was more than a leaf; it was a bridge between two worlds—the world of humans and the world of animals.

From that day on, she became a regular visitor. She'd bring me leaves, twigs, even a flower once. Each offering was her way of saying, 'Thank you.' And in return, I'd give her a skewer, our silent pact unspoken but understood.

As the seasons changed, so did our bond. She'd curl up near my cart, seeking warmth on chilly evenings. Sometimes, she'd nudge my hand, reminding me that she was there. And I'd stroke her head, feeling the rough texture of her fur, knowing that our connection transcended words.

People passing by would smile at our unlikely friendship. Some even snapped photos, capturing the essence of compassion in that simple exchange. But they didn't know the whole story—the nights when she'd disappear, returning with scars from street fights, or the moments when she'd look at me with eyes that held both gratitude and longing.

One day, she didn't show up. I waited, hoping she'd return, but she never did. Perhaps she found a forever home, or maybe she moved on to another corner of the city. Either way, I like to believe that our shared moments made a difference—for her and for me.

So, if you ever pass by my skewer cart and see a leaf tucked among the sizzling meat, know that it's not just a leaf. It's a memory, a lesson, a reminder that even in the simplest gestures, there's a connection waiting to be forged 🌿🐾

‼️Adopted ‼️

🐈🐈‍⬛ Meet Bumble and Loki, this adorable pair are looking for a new home together🏡

Bumble is a 7 year old ginger boy who is a real sweetie who loves to sit on your lap and have cuddles, he adore being brushed and will roll onto his back to let you do his tummy.
His best friend Loki is a handsome 2 years old black boy who although can be a little wary of new people at first, once you earn his trust he’ll come over for stokes and even occasionally sit on your lap. Loki is the more playful of the two and loves to chase a ball across the floor and enjoys his fishing rod teaser.

They are looking for a quieter home, one where they are the only pets, and without small children but older sensible ones should be fine.
They will need access to a garden or safe outdoor space where they could go out and explore after they’ve settled in.

They are both neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated and up to date with their flea and wormer treatments, and you get 4 weeks free Petplan insurance too.

If you think they are the perfect pair for your home then please click on their links below and fill out our online applications,

How can anyone resist that face? 😻

Closing with a reshare for our gorgeous Lauren! Unfortunately she hasn't had much luck finding her 😿 could you lend a helping paw and share her story? 🐾

Lauren (9) arrived into the centre after being abandoned on an industrial site 😿

Understandably, she is still adjusting to life here at the centre and can be a little shy, but once she's comfortable with you her sweet little personality shines through and she doesn't stop purring 😻

Lauren has a Grade 1 Heart Murmur, which may have been brought on by the stress of her past, but our team can chat this through with any potential adopters 🥰

Lauren is looking for a patient, kind and understanding who can help to rebuild her confidence and show her that the world isn't such a scary place after all 🫶🏻

Could that be you? 👀 if so, we'd love to hear from you! Simply give us a call on 0191 653 1052 between 11am and 3pm, any day excluding Tuesdays, or email us via [email protected] 🐾

EDIT: May has been reserved ❤️

Coming back at ya with our gorgeous, May! 😻

Unfortunately May (6) isn't having much luck in finding her - could you lend her a helping paw and share her story? 🐾

May is an incredibly sweet little lady, who thrives on human interaction and would love nothing more than to snuggle with you on the sofa 🥰 May isn't too keen on sharing the attention she gets so would prefer to fly solo and be the only pet in the home 🏡

Whoever adopts May is going to be one incredibly lucky and loved person 🍀

Does she sound purrfect for you? 🫶🏻 If so, we'd love to hear from you! Why not give us a call on 0191 653 1052? Our centre is open between 11am and 3pm, everyday except Tuesdays, or you can email us directly via [email protected] ❤️
