Remember us putting an appeal out in April time to see if we could find anyone with a Bobby shaped hole in their heart and home, well she is still searching for her forever home.

Bobby is by far Cat and Kitten Rescue Middlesbrough’s longest resident in foster. She came in on the 3rd of November after living for a few months on her own as her owner was hospitalised. She was signed over.

Bobby is 8 years old.

Initially Bobby was terrified. Everything was too much for her but they have since worked out her triggers which lead to her being swipy so the following needs have to be taken into consideration.

Bobby needs an ADULT home with no visiting children initially, certainly no young children under the age of 12 will be considered.

No other pets (unless it swims haha!)

A perfect home would be with a single adult, she is a little flirt when she gets going so she does prefer men to women, but it just takes a bit more time if your female.

Patience, she's so much better if you just basically ignore her initially till she finds her feet, she then will start to come to you when she realises that her needs are being met. Ignore the bad behaviour and move away if she is hissy or tries a swipe, praise good behaviour with cheesy dreamies.

This phase can take months... she likes chilling on her own, listening to the radio or the TV, just quiet and relaxed, she does like it if you chat away to her.

Bobby is a strictly indoor cat, she has never known the outdoors.

What can Bobby do for you?

She can provide the most wonderful sense of pride when she comes round, the first time she has a stroke or a purr, that's a serious high.

She is loyal, once she's accepted that she now owns you as her own personal servant, she won't let you down.

She is currently the only cat in the entire rescue that has her own bedroom, she needs more than that now she needs to spread her wings and have a proper wander around....

So if you are interested please please message us so we can pass your details on to the rescue who will tell you all of Bobby's history. As with any rehome it needs to be the right one for her so support will be offered right the way through the process and beyond.

£80 adoption fee and home check applies

Thanks for reading 🙏🏻🩵🐱

Simba still has a little limp but last night he went on his wheel for the first time in days which is a super good sign and shows that his poorly leg must be feeling much better! 🩵 Well done sausage x

**A forever home is desperately needed for a beautiful girl who has had a hard life!**

It’s National Pet Day today which allows us to reflect on how much our furry friends mean to us and how much love they bring to our lives… but sadly not every companion animal has the best start to life or a family/home to call their own.

This is Bobby, she is 7 years old and has had a very difficult past. Because of her past Bobby needs a special forever home and a special person who will be patient and able to meet her needs.

Bobby needs to be an inside cat and in a home with no other pets or young children (12+ is fine). Bobby needs her person to be patient and allow her time to get used to her new home. She will swipe and growl but that is because she is absolutely terrified, not because she doesn’t like you, she is just not used to receiving affection. Bobby needs someone who understands cats and can read the signs that she is becoming overwhelmed and overstimulated.

Bobby will need to get used to her new person so local applicants only please (she is currently in Loftus) so you can visit her a few times and she can get to know you to reduce her anxieties when she makes the move to your/her home.

Bobby has the rest of her life ahead of her and would love a place to call her home. Next year could you be celebrating National Pet Day with this beautiful girl?

If you have a Bobby sized hole in your heart and home then please get in touch so we can pass your details on to her fosterer. Thanks everyone, much love 🩷

Good evening to all of our lovely Steampuss family, the amazing rescue centre that our beautiful Rocky and Niffler came from need your help. The floor in the cattery is completely rotten and fallen away and they are in desperate need of funding to repair it. We know money is so tight for everyone at the moment, but we know Lise would be so incredibly grateful for anything that can help reach their fundraising goal. Thanks everyone🐱🩷🙏🏻

Hi I’m mostly known as the crazy cat lady in Middlesbrough or Lise! For nearly 15 years mysel… Lisa James needs your support for Cat & Kitten rescue cattery

Our little brave boy Jasper Carrot is 4 today!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Baby Carrot! 🥕🐈🧡 As you will all remember he was dumped in a plastic bag when he was a baby and we don’t think he’ll ever get over that trauma but we feel so privileged that he has chosen to trust and love us despite his difficult start in life.

A huge happy birthday to our gorgeous boy Simba!!! 5 today! 🩵 We can remember when a not so lovely lady sent us a message once informing us that we were irresponsible for having a vicious Savannah cat amongst our other cats and visitors… (wasn’t worded quite as politely as this but you get the idea…😅) But this beautiful boy proves her wrong everyday as he one of the sweetest and gentlest souls we’ve ever met. He squeaks in excitement when he sees another cat or his people and runs over for snuggles… sounds very ferocious that haha! 😉 We love you millions sweetheart x

15/02/2024

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY HAGRID, our big, clumsy, loveable scruffball! We definitely gave you the perfect name! Love you lots gorgeous boy 🩷 x

We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are enjoying your Boxing Day too!🎄 Throwback to our fave photo of Wolfie and Simba, the little besties! ❤️🥰

10/12/2023

Oh Jasper Carrot, you’re so handsome!!! 🥰

09/12/2023

The bond our kitties have with each other melts our hearts. It is definitely challenging having 15 kitties as a now ‘normal’ couple and not having the excuse that we have a cat cafe haha, but all these moments of seeing them snuggling together or licking each other makes it so worth it. We are one big crazy family and we wouldn’t change it for the world. 🩷
