RSPCA Cats & Kittens For Adoption - Keighley & Craven District
Name: TALLULAH
Age: 2.5 YEARS APPROX.
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Special Adoption Appeal: Poor Tallulah has been with us for quite some time and we can't understand why, she is a lovely little girl who just needs someone to give her a chance. Please read on for more information.
Tallulah came to us from RSPCA Lancashire East branch as she was really unsettled in the cattery and we had a local foster carer available for her. Over the past couple of weeks Tallulah has undergone a big transformation, initially she hid for a couple of days but ventured out for her food and to use her litter tray, the foster carer left her to come round in her own time and slowly but surely Tallulah gained her confidence. Please read what the carer has said about Tallulah so far..
‘Tallulah is a lovely cat, friendly but fiercely independent, inquisitive and active too. She eventually came to sit by my side and will now let me stroke her but she doesn’t like her tummy being tickled and isn’t fond of being picked up. She will only let you stroke her a few times and will have a little bite to say 'I’ve had enough'. She loves laying in front of the fire enjoying her home comforts but her favourite pastime is sitting and looking out of the window, she will definitely love being in her own home so she can go out exploring (let’s hope that’s soon) it would definitely be better for her forever home to have a cat flap so she could come and go as she pleases. Tallulah does like to be near you and to have a nosey at what’s going on around her but she is not a cat who likes being fussed too much. I have found that Tallulah isn’t a big eater, she can be picky but she currently seems to prefer eating her cat biscuits. She truly deserves a lovely, quiet home where she can have a happy cat life. Ideally she will need a home with gardens around and she also needs to be an only pet too. Tallulah will make a great companion for someone, could that be you?’
Name: TERRY
Age: APPROX 1 YEAR
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Terry is a very handsome, lovely affectionate boy about 1 year old. He had recently been adopted but sadly things didn’t work out between him and the resident cat and so he had to come back to us for re-homing. We now feel that Terry would be best as an only pet in his new home. He is very much a people cat and he won everyone’s hearts on a recent visit to the vets. He will nudge you for a fuss and then give you gentle head-butts too! He really is an adorable cat who will make a great addition to any family. He needs a home where he can get lots of attention and somewhere he can go adventuring outdoors. Could you offer Terry a new start?
Name: MIA
Age: 4 YEARS APPROX
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
The lovely Mia came to us after her owner was having to move home and could not take her cats with her. We have received the update below from her foster carer..
‘Mia is a lovely little girl. She was nervous and shy when she came to me but is now coming around and is starting to explore all around the house. She is becoming bolder and is quite vocal too. She is a good eater and eats everything and always wants more - she will have to be watched that she does not over eat. Mia is very clean and always uses her litter tray, she has taken over a place on the sofa in a little bed and spends lots of her time there. She gets on well with my own resident cats but they are used to various cats coming and going and introduction to other cats would have to be done very carefully. Mia does not like to be picked up and is not a lap cat at the moment but she likes to be stroked and to have a head tickle. She will make a lovely companion for someone, could that be you?’
Name: ERNIE
Age: TBC
Breed: SEMI LONG HAIR
Details:
Ernie is a very special boy who is now looking for his forever home, please read our foster carers comments below and see if he is the cat for you. If you can offer him a chance to see what a loving home is like, please contact us to arrange a viewing.
‘Ernie is a special boy looking for a special home. He has been in the care of the RSPCA for quite some time and he is desperate for someone to give him the chance he deserves. He is a beautiful big ginger lad who, when he first arrived in foster care, was extremely nervous, hissing and hiding when he was approached. He was generally just sad and fed up. Whatever he had been through prior to coming to us had left him terrified. Although he still will not let us stroke him or allow us to pick him up, he will happily play with us and with his toys all night and he has no issues taking treats from our hand! Given time, this would improve further and we are sure one day he will give in and allow someone to stroke him, however any potential adopter would have to be prepared to be patient for this to happen or maybe even accept that he may never want that kind of attention. He is so adorable – everyone who sees him comments that he looks like a Care bear with his fluffy face and heart shaped marking on his nose. He has grown to like company and sits with us on the sofa at night. He is usually sat somewhere nearby watching us! He also follows me every time I go upstairs and waits for me from a safe distance. He loves to watch nature programmes on TV – especially bird ones. His favourite toy is his fluffy turkey which he throws up in the air and chases round like a big kitten. We often find it in random places such as the stairs, in our shoes and in his water bowl. Ernie mainly eats dry food so he has a high quality brand. Despite his large size, he is not at all greedy, preferring to graze at his leisure throughout the day. He has shown no interest in going outside so he will need an owner who is happy for him to be an indoor cat but will also let him have the option to venture outside if he wants to in the future. He will need regular grooming which may need to be done by a vet or groomer at first due to his nerves. Ernie needs a quiet home with no young children or other animals. This gorgeous boy has been let down in his short life and is yet to know the joy of having a cuddle, purring and having a family and a home of his own. Since being with us, he has massively come out of his shell and really tries his best to trust people and to be brave. Whoever adopts this big soft teddy bear will be so rewarded – when he looks up at you smiling and blinks at you with his big green eyes, the chance you have taken on him and the patience you show him will all be worthwhile.’
Name: RORY & COCO
Age: 11 WEEKS OLD APPROX.
Breed: DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR
Details:
Rory and Coco are two kittens aged approximately 11 weeks old. Both kittens are currently in foster care together where they are exploring their new surroundings and causing mischief. Pease read the latest update from their foster carer below..
‘These two gorgeous boys are growing in confidence every day and they are very mischievous! Their new trick is to stand on the remote control and turn the TV on! They have been keeping me busy with having to switch it off all the time! Both kittens get along really well and it would be lovely if they could find a home together but they are young enough to be re-homed separately if this isn’t possible. Rory is Grey and white and is slightly shyer than Coco but he loves to chase Coco round and pulls on his tail. Coco is all black and loves to play hide and seek with Rory. Both kittens find everything so much fun and entertaining but anyone who re-homes them will have to give them a little time to come around and settle in their new home. A home where children are slightly older and more cat experienced would be best for them. The boys do not scratch or bite and are very clean and are litter trained too. If you could offer them a home together or separately, please arrange to come and meet them.
