RSPCA Cats & Kittens For Adoption - Keighley & Craven District
Name: SABLE
Age: 2 YEARS APPROX
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Sable came to us via the Inspectorate team from a 17 cat household! She may be beautiful but she is definitely not for the faint hearted and needs a very special cat person. Someone cat confident and experienced who accepts that the way she is now may be the way she stays. She also needs a home with no children and someone who is quite active. You can read what her foster carer has said about Sable so far below..
‘Sable is a stunning black cat with big saucer eyes but she is quite nervous and can be hissy.
She doesn’t like sudden movements and if startled she will hiss and bat out . She lives in my conservatory and initially just hid under the throw on the settee but I kept going in and stroking her over the cover and then leaving her alone. Now when i go in and sit on the settee she will come over and rub herself against me and enjoys being stroked BUT its on her terms! and she will hiss if shes had enough.. when that happens i just get up and leave her alone. I have learnt not to go and fuss her if she’s hiding as she will hiss and lash out.. She does not like being held, restrained or picked up. At the moment even if I just put my hand on her side as if I am going to pick her up she will quickly jump away so I am applying a little pressure every time i stroke to to try to get her used to it. But she will stay for fusses much longer now.
Sable has been with me over three months now and still hisses at me but she does come for a fuss much easier than she used to. Any new owners would need to accept that this may be the way she stays and that fuss or affection will always be on her terms. We leave the conservatory door into the living room open and she will venture in but not far, we do have three cat friendly dogs and she does not seem overly fazed by them but it may restrict her more. She has not met any other cats in my home and may be ok but again there are no guarantees. She loves playing with her toys especially her tinsely ball ones and its lovely to see, and she does seem very interested in the outside world, she could be happy living a life where she can go out as long as she has somewhere warm and cosy to come into later – this will be something that needs to be built up to. Sable is definitely not feral but goodness knows what has happened to make her like this but she does deserve a life where she can do as she pleases. Could you be the special person who offers her a new home?

PIMMS IS RESERVED
Pimms is an 8 month old cat who is now in branch foster care and looking for a new home. Please read below for the latest update from her foster carer..
‘Pimms was quite timid when she came to us but has gained confidence with patience and time. She is a very sweet young girl and loves to play and run around, she is not a lap cat but does like being stroked and her tummy tickled and gets on well with our very calm and laid back resident cat. She would prefer a home that does not have very young children and would like a safe garden away from busy roads where she can venture outdoors when she is ready. Could you offer this lovely girl a new home?’

Name: JD
Age: 10 MONTHS OLD
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
JD IS RESERVED
JD is the last of the cats who came to us from a multi cat household where the owner had sadly passed away. He is approximately 8-10 months old and is initially a shy boy but friendly when he gains his confidence. He will need his new owner to be patient and spend time with him and allow him to settle at his own pace, he will also need a home away from any busy roads. He needs his second vaccinations on 23rd of December and will need to stay with us until then - unless he is being re-homed locally and can be brought back to us on that date.

Name: BRANDY
Age: 10 MONTHS OLD
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR

BRANDY IS RESERVED
Brandy came to us via the inspectorate team with 5 other cats from a 20+ multi cat household after the owner passed away. Unlike most of the others, Brandy isn’t shy at all, it’s really hard to get pictures of him because he is never still for long! He really wants your attention and at only 8-10 months old he is playful and full of mischief although he does need to learn to how to play. He is friendly with a loud meow (which sounds like he is saying Hello!), his foster carer said they can hear him running round in the bedroom exploring and having fun. Brandy would most likely be ok with another friendly cat or he would also enjoy getting all the attention of being an only cat. He definitely needs a home where his new owners can give him lots of time and attention. He will need his second vaccinations on 22nd December and will need to stay with us until that date - unless he is being re-homed locally and can be brought back to us on the day.

Name: PUMPKIN & PARKIN
Age: 12 WEEKS APPROX
Breed: DOMESTIC SEMI LONG HAIR
Details:
PUMPKIN & PARKIN ARE RESERVED
Parkin (male) and Pumpkin (female) are a gorgeous, friendly pair of kittens aged 12 weeks old - see multi image for pictures of both kittens. Parkin is a little nervous of anything new but soon comes round and loves to sleep on your knee at every opportunity. Pumpkin is more confident and also likes a knee to curl up and sleep on. They love chasing each other and play fighting and love all their toys. They are both litter trained and enjoy their food. Both cats need to stay together so we are looking for a new home where they can carry on playing together, they would need a safe garden away from busy roads so they can go outdoors when they are old enough. A home with older children would also be best for them. Could you offer this lovely pair a new home together?

MERLOT IS RESERVED
Merlot came to us via the inspectorate team from a multi Cat house where the owner sadly passed away. He is only 9-12 months old and is very friendly and playful. His foster carer tells us that he is very curious and like to sit and watch the tv and keep an eye on what the resident dog is doing! He is also litter trained but initially we would advise keeping him in a small area until he is settled in. Merlot needs his second vaccinations on 22nd of December and would need to stay with us until then - unless he is being re-homed locally and can be brought back to us on that date.
