🟢I AM AVAILABLE🟢

Fred is our Bouncy 1 Year-Old Bull Breed

Fred came to the RSPCA after being abandoned in a multi dog household, rest assured this hasn't stopped Fred from being a vibrant and energetic boy with lots and lots of love to give.

Fred didn't take long to settle into kennel life, he's been a bundle of joy from the day he arrived and he's definitely won over all of the staff with his cute face and affectionate ways.

Fred is a very affectionate boy and loves his cuddles and kisses - but sometimes Fred can forget how big he is and is currently learning that he must keep all 4 paws on the floor when greeting new people. This is definitely a working progress. Fred loves to play with toys such as tennis balls, and whilst he may want you to chase him for it- he is very good for letting go of toys so you can throw it for him again

Fred is a little foodie so this makes his training very easy, Fred is learning all his commands and working on his recall and so far he's smashing his training!

Fred is looking for a home with children of secondary school age 11+ that are dog savvy and understand that Fred can sometimes be excitable and boisterous.

Fred can live with other dogs as long as they are tolerant of his energetic behaviour as Fred is still learning how to be polite when greeting other dogs! Fred cannot live with cats or small furries due to high prey drive.

If you think you can give this beautiful boy a home he so rightly deserves then please email [email protected] for an application form

🟢 I AM AVAILABLE 🟢

Pip is our beautiful 3 year old domestic short hair.

Pip came to us from a multi-cat house and took a little time to settle in, but has started to really come out of her shell.

Pip is a timid girl who can be a little unsure of new people, but if you give her a moment to come up and sniff you she will ask for some headbumps and then you're great friends. She wont stop with the headbumps, she will want as much fuss as you can offer.

Whilst she is a super friendly girl if you give her the time she needs, she does get spooked easily by noises and if you surprise her so its important to let her know you are around. She will need plenty of hidey spaces in the home to allow her to feel safe if she needs them.

This beautiful girl isn't too keen on toys at the moment, she does have some curiosity towards them and has started to bat and chew some toys if you initiate play but tends to stay away from toys otherwise, this is something that will grow as her confidence does.

Pip hasn't quite got the confidence to explore the cattery yet and isn't
keen on being out of her pod so hasn't yet been cat tested so at this time she is looking for a home as the only pet. This may change in the future as her confidence soars.

Pip can use a cat flap and is litter trained.

Pip is looking for a home with no other animals and children of secondary school age.

If your interested in Pip and think your home would be perfect for her, email us at [email protected]

🟢I AM AVAILABLE🟢

Jack is our handsome 2-year-old black and white Domestic Shorthair boy.

This sweet lad hasn't had the best experience with humans, previously being abandoned, so understandably he has been a little on the shier side since arriving in our care. His confidence is blossoming daily and it's so lovely to see him come out of his shell and gain trust more and more.😍

Jack can be unsure when people approach him. He used to just find a safe spot in the other direction, and come and investigate in his own time. Now, he'll stick around with some curiosity and slowly come over for a head scratch.

When he is comfortable with you, and you introduce yourself in a calm manner he really does adore his fuss and attention. He will hop on your lap for some strokes, purring and twirling his way around your arm.

Jack is still developing his trust around people, so when it comes to handling he is still a little unsure, this including being picked up. It's important to work alongside Jack at a pace that works for him.

When in his pod, Jack watches the word go by from the comfort of his bed or cat tower. He hasn't quite got the hand of toys or playing yet, instead he much prefers to spend his time in company receiving the attention he so rightfully deserves.

Loud noises and sudden movements can spook Jack, it's important he has some hidey spaces when settling in to the home so he can have his safe space, and explore from there. He is looking for a quieter home because of this.

Jack is fully litter trained and can use a cat flap.

He is looking for a home with no dogs, and no other cats. He has shown that he is quite unsure around his feline neighbours and just generally lacks confidence.

Jack can be rehomed with cat-savvy children of secondary school age that understand he will need his own space, and time to settle in the home.

If you think you can offer this precious little boy the forever home he's so ready to find, then please email [email protected] to request an application form.

🟠I AM RESERVED🟠

Rose is our beautiful 3-year-old Semi Long Hair girl.

You would never expect this sweet lady was ever abandoned with her love for people.. being in company is simply her most favourite thing. 😍

Rose settled straight into cattery life, without any hesitations.
Initially she was quite explorative until finding her preferred spots to chill. Since then, she snoozes the afternoon away from the comfort of her cozy bed or her cat tower.

You can be sure to be met with a big stretch and purrs when you arrive at her pod door, Rose simply adores fuss and attention.
She lets you know how much she's enjoying herself by leaning her head into the strokes. This is a great way to build a bond with her, not that she'll take any convincing to be your new best friend!!🐱

Rose is also very content with being picked up for a snuggle, she'll purr away standing for all the fuss you have time to give!!

She does like a gentle brushing session, at a pace she is comfortable with. She will need to be groomed regularly to keep on top of her lovely coat.

This pretty girl does occasionally play independently, but her preference is definitely the flirt pole.

Rose can use her cat flap and is fully litter trained.

Due to her nature being quite confident, Rose can be rehomed with children of primary school age and above.

She can also live with a cat-savvy dog that doesn't chase.
Rose may be able to love with small furries and exotics depending on accommodation location and security in the home.

Rose has shown she isn't too fond of other cats being in her space, so is looking for a home where she'd be the only cat.

If you think you can provide this precious and lovable lady the home she is so ready for, then please email [email protected] to request and application form.
