Cats for homing
| Details | |
|---|---|
Dodger15+ yrsMale |
We just hope that someone out there will take pity on him. Dodger came to us because his elderly owner's nurse demanded she rehome him after one too many bites. Though it pained her to do so she had to admit he was now a danger to her and he had to be rehomed. He has bitten his fair share of people here and been quite ferocious with the other cats. Over time he has calmed a great deal and is much more trustworthy now. He is let out of his pen everyday and rarely causes any trouble. It is simply important to let him have his own space! In quiet moments Dodger can't wait to purr on a lap and if not over-stroked won't strike out. We couldn't consider homing him with children or other cats due to his history but we would home him with cat friendly dogs. Dodger needs someone to offer him a home for the golden years of his life. Do you have a big enough sense of humour for such a grumpy old beast of a cat? |
TallulahUnder 1 yearFemale |
She is very good with other cats, having come from a massive household, but would probably find it hard to come to terms with young children or a bouncy dog. Given her nervous disposition she would probably cope well with an indoor home although it would be a shame to think of a young cat not ever having the chance to go outside in life. |
Sooty15+ yrsFemale |
Sadly Sooty's owner recently went into residential care and Sooty finally lost her home, garden and greenhouse. She now desperately needs a new place to call her own, with no cats or dogs please. She is not keen on too much fuss but a stroke would be nice please, she will swiftly tell you when she's had enough. As she is totally deaf some things can make her jump so she must always be approached from the front. Sooty is a sad soul who really does need a knight in shining armour to take her on for her final years. We will happily support her veterinary care if you live locally to us. |
Eddie5+ yearsMale |
Upon arrival in our quarantine area he would start growling as soon as he heard the door open and lived in fear of anyone coming near him. At feeding times it was tough to even get food into his cage as he would attack if we came within striking distance. We gave him a safe place to hide and have spent time every day to encourage him that we're not so bad after all. He's come on in leaps and bounds and is no longer such a danger though he will need an experienced owner to continue his 'training'. He is curious with other animals but most certainly should not be homed with children, just to be safe. Eddie will bring the right person huge pleasure and great satisfaction in knowing you've given a traumatised and very special cat a home. UPDATE: Eddie's improved so much that he's now in our communal area looking for a home with lots of other cats. Things still confuse and worry him sometimes but he's one of the first to come and say hi when hears there's people about! We're so proud of his progress and have everything crossed that it's not long before he finds someone who wants an Eddie to follow them round their home! |
Molly18+ monthsFemale |
She was taken away from litter mates when she very young which has left her unable to understand cats - this is a common problem for single cats and the reason why we will NOT home single kittens. As if that wasn't bad enough she then had the added confusion of her home turning violent, some of which was towards her. She endured the escalating situation for several months before her owner finally had to flee the home and Molly was surrended to a rescue group. They felt it best that she leave the area altogether and she came to us for rehabilitation. Molly is calming down gradually and learning day by day to accept a fuss. She loves a stroke but fear often overwhelms her and she sometimes smacks us or runs away. She is such a sweet soul and it's so sad to see the fear and confusion that humans have impressed on her. Could you give Molly a chance? |
Tola5+ yearsFemale |
She has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia which means she doesn't have the same ability to move around and balance as most other cats. It is likely that the damage was done to her cerebellum before she was born and it will not get worse, or better, and she has the same life expectency as any other cat. She is very capable and is able to do most things, like use a litter tray and play with toys, though she can't jump and appears drunk when she trys to get anywhere in a hurry. Her home doesn't need many special adaptions though she may need a cushion to help her climb onto the sofa or bed! She also needs soft flooring as hard flooring is slippery and she falls over easily - many of her front teeth are broken from bashing herself when she loses balance. Tola's condition doesn't make her a very demanding cat but her personality does! She might not be keen on being picked up but she loves to purr and stamp her happy paws on your lap - this amazing little cat will change your life! |
Mischief2+ yearsMale |
We know very little about his history but he one of the reasons for giving him up was that the family dog was bullying them. He went through a stage in which he didn't want anyone to touch his back (thankfully, he seems to be over this now). We can only presume that he had something nasty happen to his back and perhaps related to the issues with the dogs. Mischief is a lovely looking, large, prime-aged male who does like to prove his worth to the other cats in his pen. He does seem to have calmed down since an even bigger male moved in but we would still like to find him a home as an only cat. Though he may not always be comfortable with his back being touched, he always loves his head being fussed and is very people orientated. Given his background we would not want to see him homed with a dog and, because he can be naughty at times, small children would do best to steer clear of Mischief. |
Kittens!VariousMale and Female |
If you are thinking of taking on kittens then thank you for looking to adopt as it's people like you who make the world a better place for cats. By chosing to support a rescue centre (rather than someone ignorant and selfish enough to let their cat breed!) you are helping make room for more cats or kittens who might not survive without our help. If you are set on kittens and don't want to consider young adults then try looking up other local rescue centres using www.catchat.org Thank you! |
Attila3+ yearsMale |
The surface of his eye was so badly injured (probably through fighting other tom cats) that it required two hourly medication and his other eyelid is also in need or surgery. Entropian surgery on the other eye will be carried out by our vets along with his neutering and then he will be looking for a home. He's a very big cat and will require an experienced owner just so that he is never taught bad habits. He is very food orientated - perhaps he was once a stray? This should get better with time as he learns that he's never going to be left to go hungry again. So far he has been very calm with our other cats but he is very aggressive/defensive against dogs. He's also been a very clean guest here - despite arriving here un-neutered he's never sprayed. Due to his extreme size and strength we would prefer not to home him with young children as they will be an easy target for thieving food off! UPDATE Attila has now been reserved! |
Misty & Bella9 & 18 monthsFemales |
Their last owner handed them in to us when she was moving home and couldn't take them. Sadly this is the number one reason for people getting rid of their pets and a great frustration to us. At least as a result of coming into Feline Care they have now been neutered! They aren't very confident girls but absolutely love a fuss when people are calm with them. They have recently moved into our main communal area (from our quarantine) and seem to be getting on well, hopefully their confidence will grow a little more now they have more space. They've never lived with children or dogs and as they are already a little nervous we would prefer not to home them with either. |
