No, you're not seeing double (though you can be forgiven for thinking so if you've over-indulged this Christmas and Boxing Day!! 🍷🥂)...

Paige and Prudence came into our care from a multi-cat household-we also have four other cats from the same home who you will also see advertised on our website; Agatha and Sabrina; Phoebe and Piper.

Prudence (ginger nose) is the social butterfly of the group, and happily interacts with all of the others.

She is also the most confident-though this is not to say that she is entirely comfortable with human interaction, however she is definitely the least worried of the gang, and she will accept gentle strokes. We feel that Prue has bags of potential and while she is shy, she clearly has a very sweet nature.

Paige (white nose) was initially brought in buddied up with shy girls Phoebe and Piper, but she definitely prefers the company of the more playful girls in the group, and can always be found socialising with Agatha, Sabrina and Prudence. She is very skittish when it comes to humans, however we hope that by pairing her with the slightly more gregarious Prue, Paige will grow in confidence (which we have seen happening already). Paige does rely heavily on having other cats around, so we feel that she and Prue could be adopted as a pair to a home where there already other cats resident.

These beautiful young girls are barely out of kittenhood, something which is evident when you see them play together. They just need a cat-savvy, adult-only home.

They've not had the easiest of starts, having been rescued by RSPCA Inspectors from very poor conditions, but now is the beginning of the rest of their lives.

If you think you could offer them their forever home, please complete our online form:

Never work with children and animals they say…🤣

This is an attempt at a gift giving video with the lovely Clare (please excuse the dodgy filming…) 🙈

And the Christmas giving has begun… 🎁😻

Even our foster kitties don’t miss out when it comes to Ginger Cat Crafts - Quincy here has been a little bit poorly so he got an extra special gift, which he’s very excited about!

Quincy is a lovely and affectionate young lad (serious lap cat potential here!) and he will shortly be seeking his forever home…keep following for updates.

Next stop for the GCC Christmas gift giving…the cattery…. 😺

“T’was the night before Christmas…”🎄

This beautiful photo of ex-Holdings kittens Pickle and Poppet (adopted in May of this year) epitomises everything that we hope and strive for, for all of our animals.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish a very happy and peaceful festive season to our wonderful and incredibly kind supporters and adopters…as we always say, we couldn’t achieve any of what we do without all of you. ♥️

We have been absolutely blown away by everyone’s generosity this Christmas!

As well as all of the amazing items donated by Isabelle from the proceeds of her fundraiser, and the gifts from Ginger Cat Crafts (including Mickey stockings and rabbit goody bags-all hung on the pens ready for tomorrow morning), we have been completely overwhelmed by the number of deliveries arriving and people calling in with presents for our animals (and for our team too-let’s just say we have a LOT of chocolates and biscuits to get through!!).

Thank you all so much, we really are blessed to have such wonderful supporters. Merry Christmas one and all!

The difference a foster home can make!!

In the cattery, Lorelei was a deeply worried and unhappy girl. Her growling, hissing and spitting made her appear aggressive, and after several weeks of this behaviour we knew that not only was she deeply stressed, but finding a home for her would prove difficult.

Consequently, we appealed for a foster home, which we felt would be a much better option for her…and this is her now, just 9 days later!! (Please see Comments for “Before and After” pics).

This lovely girl just needed time, patience and the security of a home environment in order to decompress, and we feel sure that in the New Year she will soon be ready to find her forever home.

Keep following for further updates on Lorelei’s progress!

Our lovely volunteer Sally is back at Pets at Home & The Groom Room Worcester today! Why not pop along, say hi and have a go on our tombola??

Agatha and Sabrina came into our care from a multi-cat household-we also have four other cats from the same home who you will see advertised on our website; Prudence, Paige, Phoebe and Piper.

Though Agatha and Sabrina were originally brought in as a trio with Prudence, these two have always seemed particularly close, with Prue being that little bit more confident and independent, so when the other three arrived a few days later, we decided to house the girls in adjacent pens so that they could all interact.

Since then, this girl gang have really tested us with their constant switching of allegiances, but the bond between Agatha and Sabrina is the one that has remained unquestionable. We suspect that Aggie may be Sabrina's mum-they certainly have a typical mother/daughter dynamic going on!

Agatha is without doubt the grumpiest of the gang. She hisses A LOT, and is the epitome of the notorious "tortitude" reputation that cats of her colour are labelled with!

She is however won around easily with Dreamies, and despite her infamous "death stare", when she bats you, claws are always retracted. She's definitely defensive rather than aggressive, and she just needs someone who can see past her "cattitude" and recognise that she is simply very, very wary.

When she is left alone with her girls and observed from afar, while she is clearly the matriarch, she is also just a kitten who loves to play!

Mini panther Sabrina is a sweet but skittish little lady...she adores playtime and will lose herself in the moment once a wand toy is employed, and she also loves to run around with other cats...but she also spooks very easily and will always run straight back to Agatha for comfort. And the two of them do also enjoy playing together - though Paige and Prudence are also never far away when there's any fun to be had!

These beautiful young girls have so much potential - they just need a cat-savvy, adult-only home.

They could go with one or two of their pals, or to a home where there are already sociable cats, but one thing is certain-they MUST stay together!

They've not had the easiest of starts, having been rescued by RSPCA Inspectors from very poor conditions, but now is the beginning of the rest of their lives.

Wow!!!

Isabelle's fundraiser last weekend raised over £740...and just look what she bought for our animals with the money!!!

This young lady and her friends and family managed to pull off an incredible event, and our animals have been well and truly spoilt thanks to everyone's hard work and generosity. Thank you so much from all of the team at RSPCA Worcester!
