Luke (grey) and Leia (grey/silvery tabby) are 3.5 month old brother and sister. He's a little shy, she's a cheeky little diva! They love snuggling together, and play fighting. He loves chasing his tail and treats, she wants all the fusses and will reward you with licks, nibbles, and the loudest purrs ever!

These two little ones are never far from each other. Their favourite place to chill is in the (clean) laundry basket!

They've started their vaccinations, have been microchipped, and will be neutered when they're big/old enough. They're ok around older children, and have lived with other cats before. They're untested around dogs, but we feel they're young enough to accept a friendly pooch.

Luke and Leia's adoption fee is set at £250. 

To apply to adopt any of our lovely rescue animals who so desperately need to find their forever families, please message and ask for the adoption application link! 🐾

As always, assessments are ongoing and information can be updated at any time. Adoption fee and home visit apply. The adoption fee is generally much lower than the expenditure on each animal whilst in our care and we always massively appreciate any additional donation you're able to make to help us continue with our vital work 🐾❤

Twinkle Toes is the sweetest girl! She came to us as a stray a while back, no owner was found, so she's now looking for a wonderful new home. She's a fantastic girl, and only the best home will do!

She's a cheeky girl, likes to play and really loves her fuss. Like, if you stop stroking her she'll grab your hand (or leg, whatever's closest) to encourage you to give her more fuss! She's got a teeny tiny croaky voice, but if she wants you to do something (like open the treats) she'll find a way to let you know!

We're unsure on her age, but she's probably somewhere between 4 and 8 years old.

She's sweet and gentle, could live with other cats, and older children. She's untested around dogs and small furries.

Twinkle's adoption fee is set at £100. To apply to adopt any of our lovely rescue animals who so desperately need to find their forever families, please message and ask for the adoption application link! 🐾

This beautiful young man is Brian! He's quite shy at first, and really makes you work for his trust! But it's worth it, as he loves nothing more than a snuggle on the bed at the end of a long day!

Brian is 5 years old, neutered, microchipped, and has restarted his vaccines, with the second due in a couple of weeks.

Brian can get a little overstimulated at times, he lets you know by popping you with his paw. But mostly he's a sweet little chap who just wants to be loved and fed and cared for.

Brian's adoption fee is set at £100 this helps us to keep helping vulnerable animals.

This crazy little firecracker is Sue! Sue is around 12 months old, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to go off and terrorise her new family!

She's lightening fast, she loves to play, and eat! She tends to be a bit shy and standoffish at first, but once she gets to know you you'll be allowed to give her some fuss!

She's not a massive fan of other cats when she first meets them, but we think she could settle in to a home with 1 or 2.

Sue's adoption fee is set at £150, this helps us to keep helping vulnerable animals.

Meet our little lovebug, Baby Jack Jack! He's 10 months old and ready to find his place in the world. He's neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Jack Jack is a little shy at first and will need time to find his paws, so a family with patience is a must! He's used to living with other cats, though we've been advised by his vet that it would be best for Jack Jack to be rehomed as a single cat in the household.

Once this shy guy is comfortable with you he adores a snuggle! When he's settled on your knee he can be there for hours! Only people with lots of spare time to dedicate to kitty cuddles need apply!

***UPDATE***

Our sweet Jack Jack has been diagnosed with gingival hyperplasia. "Gingival hyperplasia is a medical condition by which a cat's gingival tissue becomes inflamed and enlarged. Enlargement is typically caused by dental plaque or other bacterial growth along the gum line. This condition is relatively rare in cats, and in many cases can be prevented with good oral hygiene habits."

He's had a gingival resection, with extractions, and thorough scale and polish. There may be need in the future for another dental procedure, to remove more/the remaining teeth.

Please keep this in mind when applying to adopt our sweet little dude. We understand adopting a young cat with complex health issues isn't for everyone, but he really does deserve all the best things in life, all the love and freeze dried chicken nibbles and lots of lap time and kisses, he loves his kisses!

Jack Jack's adoption fee is set at £150. To apply to adopt any of our lovely rescue animals who so desperately need to find their furever families, please message and ask for the adoption application link!

🐾 What can we say about this bouncy, sweet, full of kisses, crazy girl? She's 3 years old, a little nervous of other dogs, and absolutely full of energy!

🐾 She's spayed and up to date with her vaccinations.

🐾 Wilma has spent a lot of her time alone while her previous owner has been at work earning pennies for treatos. We'd love to find Wilma a family who's around a lot of the time, for snuggles!

Wilma's adoption fee is set at £250, this helps us to keep helping vulnerable animals.

🐾 Onyx is Cassie's sister, they've both grown up in care, mostly in a kennel setting. The family were part of a cruelty case, which has now been heard by the courts and our owner has been prosecuted. 

🐾 Onyx and her siblings were born in care, so they weren't directly mistreated but have missed out on a lot of the love and experiences that other dogs have.

🐾 Onyx can be a bit nervous at times, and while she loves other dogs, she may be best in a home on her own, as she can get a little too much for other dogs at times!

Onyx's adoption fee is set at £250. To apply to adopt any of our lovely rescue animals who so desperately need to find their furever families, please message and ask for the adoption application link! 🐾

🐾 Cassie is a headstrong young girl, who’s grown up in care, mostly in a kennel setting. Her and her family were part of a cruelty case, which has now been heard by the courts and our owner has been prosecuted. 

🐾 Cassie and her siblings were born in care, so they weren’t directly mistreated but have missed out on a lot of the love and experiences that other dogs have.

🐾 Cassie needs a decent amout of physical and mental stimulation, she may become destructive if she gets bored. She'll need a lot of training and walks and playtime and cuddles!

🐾 We're on the hunt for a collie experienced owner with a Hugo shaped hole in their lives!

🐾 Hugo is almost 18 months old, is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

🐾 The vet suspects Hugo has been scalded, which has left a bit of scarring and furloss on his back. Despite this Hugo is a happy-go-lucky kinda guy.

🐾 He's had very little input, struggles to walk nicely on the lead, isn't housetrained, is very bouncy, so the person who adopts him needs to have a lot of time on their hands and the confidence to help him learn to be the very best good boy he can be!

Hugo's adoption fee is set at £300, this helps us to keep helping vulnerable animals.

Hi nice to see lots of people in town today enjoying the drier weather. A big shout out to 99% of our customers who are absolutely fantastic and help keep us ticking over and able to help so many needy local animals. However there is always one who scoots off on something they shouldn't up James Street around 12.30 today. We do have CCTV coverage and sometimes accidents happen, but would rather you either return the goods to the shop or just pop in and pay for them. Every couple of pound could be that essential can of food or be put towards our ever increasing vet bills. Once again many thanks to the vast majority of our customers for the continued support!

02/04/2024

Are you ready for our reopening?!?! Our volunteers have been busy over the Easter holiday giving our shops a big spring clean and restocking. Be there from 10am this morning when we reopen and pick up a bargain! Remember everything we raise goes towards helping local animals!

🩵 Beautiful Lady, a senior kitizen at 10+ years old, is looking for her furever retirement home!

🩵 She's just had a dental, which included multiple extractions. She only has her canines now, which are pearly white!

🩵 She's tolerant of other kitties, but is untested around dogs, small furries, and children.

🩵 As any parent will tell you, this breed is very vocal! Lady is no exception and has so much she wants to talk about!
