RSPCA Cats & Kittens For Adoption - Keighley & Craven District
Name: BONNIE
Age: 3 YEARS APPROX
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Meet our gorgeous girl Bonnie. She is tabby & white, aged 3 years old and is looking for a new home as her owner sadly passed away and her husband couldnt keep her due to his work and travelling commitments. We have managed to place Bonnie in foster care and you can read her update below..
‘Poor Bonnie has had a lot of changes in her life and was quite nervous initially but she has settled into foster care really well. I think she would benefit from a confident, cat experienced owner who will let her gain confidence in her own time. She is a cat that loves to play and is not slow to let you know when she wants to be fed (usually by climbing all over you) but she is also a cat that lets you know when she has had enough attention with a twitch or even a very gentle smack. She doesn’t like to be shut away and I let her have full access to all the rooms in my house, I have found that she does like to be close to me - especially at night time. I have woken up to find her curled up by my head and even in the middle of my back! She will also walk along the edge of the bath just to make sure I am ok. She lives along side my house dog and although she still hisses a little at him, she gets closer and often just stares at him. Bonnie will want to go outdoors when she has settled in her new home and will need a quiet area away from busy roads with a safe garden to explore. She would be best in a home with older children too. Bonnie really deserves to find her special home soon, could you give her that chance?’
Name: ALBERT
Age: 7 MONTHS APPROX
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Albert is a lovely, friendly boy who loves cuddles and snuggling on your lap. He also likes to play with his toys and chase feathers. He has come from a multi cat household but would prefer to be the only cat as he likes to be the centre of attention. He would be suitable for a family with children as he is lovely and friendly. He will want to go outdoors once he’s settled and will need a safe garden area that is away from any busy roads
Name: WILLIAM
Age: 11 MONTHS APPROX.
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Meet William, he is approximately 11 months old and a lovely cat, friendly but a little unsure. He is currently in foster care, please see below for the first update from his carer..
‘At the beginning, William would run and hide when he saw me but when I went to pick him up he was never nasty or lashed out, I kept going in the room and stroking him and after a couple of days he wasn’t hiding the same. As you can see from the pictures, when he was up high he enjoyed a fuss and I just kept going in quietly stroking him then leaving him alone. I am sure with the right home he will come round, he just needs someone who understands that and will spend time with him and not just let him hide away. He did live with another cat of the same age but obviously that is no guarantee he could live with another.
He never went out in his previous home so would need to be kept inside longer than normal to build his confidence but he is young enough to want to go out and needs a quiet & safe area where this could be done slowly under supervision. William would make a lovely companion if someone could give him a chance.’
Name: MORRIS
Age: YOUNG KITTEN
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Morris is a young kitten who is now ready to find his forever home. Initially it was thought that he was a feral cat and the vets clipped his ear but one of our foster carers decided to look after him and although he is timid around new people, it quickly became clear that he definitely isn’t feral and actually enjoys company. He isn’t keen on being picked up and isn’t a lap cat but he is very playful. He sometimes gets a little rough when he’s playing and due to this fact he wouldn’t be suitable for a home with very young children. Morris uses his litter tray without any issues but he does like it filled with compost and newspaper! Obviously this is only a temporary measure because he will want to go outdoors when he is settled in his new home. He would like a home with a safe garden area that is away from any busy roads for when he can be let outside. Morris has had a hard start to his young life and would love his new owners to be patient and let him settle at his own pace. He really deserves a nice, loving home to call his own. Could you be the person to offer him that?
Name: CHER
Age: 12 MONTHS OLD APPROX.
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Cher is a petite little lady aged approximately 12 months old. She came to us via the inspectorate from a multi cat household, Initially she was quite scared and unsure (she had never been out of the house) but what a transformation once she went into foster care! She will need her 2nd vaccinations on the 25th of this month but can be viewed and reserved now. Please see the update from her carer below..
‘Cher is a young and petite girl with a lot of curiosity about the world. She has already settled in very well in just a few days. She is very energetic, likes to be with you and has a lot of love to give, expect a lot of loving head bumps from this very loving girl. She also uses her litter tray without any issues. As with all our cats, we like them to have the choice of being able to go outdoors or staying indoors - Cher had never been outside but as she is so young and curious we do think she would enjoy exploring. She would need to be kept indoors longer than usual due to not being used to the outdoors and would need a quiet area with gardens away from any busy roads. She didn’t have a great start to her life but hopefully we can find her a lovely home to call her own.
Name: MAXINE
Age: 2 YEARS APPROX
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Meet the very pretty Maxine with her striking white whiskers, she is only just 2 years old. She came to us with her son Bagheera (shown on a separate listing) Both cats are fine to be re-homed separately but they can also go together if anyone wanted to take the pair. Both Maxine & Bagheera are really friendly and used to lots of attention, they were used to having a lot of people in the house as they came from a big family which included young children. They did go outdoors in their previous home but not very often. As with all our cats, we would like it to be their choice if and when they go outside and not to be forced but they would need a quiet area away from busy roads. They are both very clean cats and use their litter tray without any issues. Maxine doesn’t like other pets, as we found out when she went into temporary foster care, she will need to be an only pet in her new home, unless someone wants to re-home her with Bagheera. She will come to you for a fuss and likes to be stroked. Maxine will definitely make someone a lovely companion.
Name: BAGHEERA
Age: 12 MONTHS OLD
Breed: DOMESTIC SEMI LONG HAIR
Details:
Bagheera is a very handsome young black cat age 12 months old. He is the son of Maxine (shown on a separate listing) Both cats are fine to be re-homed separately but they can also go together if anyone wanted to take the pair. Both Maxine & Bagheera are really friendly and used to lots of attention, they were used to having a lot of people in the house as they came from a big family which included young children. They did go outdoors in their previous home but not very often. As with all our cats, we would like it to be their choice if and when they go outside and not to be forced but they would need a quiet area away from busy roads. They are both very clean cats and use their litter tray without any issues. Bagheera is a really chilled cat, he likes to play and if you sit down he will come over to you for some attention. When he was in temporary foster care, he was fine with the resident cat and dog so he could live with another chilled out cat and/or calm cat savvy dog.
Name: CLAUDIA
Age: 2 YEARS APPROX.
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Claudia came to us via the Inspectorate team and she is an absolutely gorgeous, adorable & friendly girl with the fluffiest of tails. She will come to you for a fuss and to be stroked and will give you little head butts, the staff at the cattery love her. Claudia is very clean and uses her litter tray, she is used to going outdoors and will need a quiet area away from busy roads. We think she could be ok with a friendly & cat savvy dog but we are not sure how she would react with other cats - if there are other pets in her new home, she would need someone cat experienced to help them settle together.
Name: JOSEPH & JUNE (PAIR)
Age: 2 YEARS APPROX
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Joseph and June are two very special characters looking for an equally special home together. They came to us from a multi cat household where there were 20 cats. As with many cats from a similar situation, they have not been handled much, if at all. They arrived terrified of people, cowering their carer entered the room, hiding and hissing. Fast forward just 5 weeks and they are really coming out of their shells. They now like to sit on the sofa with their fosterer watching TV at nights (often cuddled up together on their blanket which is adorable). They love their food and will eat absolutely anything. June is the more timid of the two. She has suffered with food aggression due to having to fight for her meals with other cats just so she can have her own share. She now eats happily without growling however, her and Joseph do need to be fed in separate rooms for now to avoid her becoming anxious. She is such a sweet girl who is getting braver by the day. Joseph is slightly more confident and loves to play with his toys. His favourite is his squirrel on a string and he loves tin foil balls. He leaps in the air chasing them round and is very playful. Both cats are showing an interest in the outdoors, so after plenty of time to settle inside their new home, they would ideally like a garden to explore away from busy roads. Their new owners will need to be experienced with nervous cats. They are such lovely characters and after seeing how far they have come in such a short space of time, who knows how much more they could progress given a chance in the right home.
Name: LILY & FLEUR (PAIR)
Age: 10 MONTHS OLD APPROX.
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Lily & Fleur are two young cats who are looking for their new home together. Lily is all Black and aged around 10 months old, Fleur is Tabby and white and aged around 18 months old. Please read their foster carers first update below.
‘Both girls have been staying with me about 4 weeks, when they first arrived they were very timid and nervous. They spent most of their time on top of the wardrobe cuddled together. Fleur is now gaining confidence and coming to me for a head tickle and stroke. Lily is still timid and runs about a lot. They are in an upstairs bedroom and although the door is always open and they have access to the whole house they stay in their room and on the landing and do not venture downstairs. They still like high places where they feel safe. Lily is totally dependent on Fleur and goes to her for a cuddle and reassurance. Whoever adopts them must be an experienced cat owner with no other pets, they will need time and patience to settle down. Any children must be secondary school age. Lily and Fleur are totally bonded and must stay together but with time and patience they will become very loving pets and companions.’
