IF YOUR CAT IS MISSING, PLEASE TELEPHONE THE RSPCA CENTRE AND REPORT THE DISAPPEARANCE. WE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP.

Betty & Belle

Belle and Betty were returned to us because they were shy around the children in the house.

They were comfortable around the adults though and would love a home with an older family who will give them lots of fuss!

They are very sweet and playful and have their own little routines and individual personalities that any potential owner will come to love.

Why not consider taking on a pair of cats? Why have mono when you can have stereo?

Betty and Purdy

These two are both young adults and have come from a stressful multi-cat household.

They are unsure of new people but love a fuss once they know you.

In a quiet, secure home, we are confident Betty and Purdy will make two wonderful companions

Syrup

Syrup is a young cat who was abandoned in a flat with two other cats. It has taken a long time to bring her round as she was very shy.

SYRUPDATE!

The cat behaviour specialist at West Hatch and the staff have spent a long time playing with and socialising Syrup; she is now enjoying a good, gentle fuss and adores playtime. A little more work and Syrup will be a wonderful companion.

The cat that Syrup had been abandoned with, Honey, was adopted shortly before Christmas. She was similarly as shy as Syrup, but once she arrived home her owners reported she really came out of her shell, enjoyed a fuss and ran around playing with her toys!

We feel that a quiet, patient home with owners willing to put a little time in with Syrup will be rewarded with a loving companion.

Missy

Missy is a sweet little wrinkly rex cross. She absolutely loves a fuss and will gently lick your hand if you stop stroking her!

She becomes stressed very easily so would need a very gentle home with no other animals, and an owner who is understanding of her needs.

Please give us a ring if you are interested in Missy, our cattery staff would love to speak to you.

Lewis

This majestic, huge Persian x is called Lewis.

He is 9 years old, and was brought to us because his owner was allergic to him.

He loves a fuss and wanders away when he's had enough. He is good to be groomed too.

Persians need owners who don't mind putting in the time and effort to keep their coats from becoming matted.

He would prefer to be the only animal in the house: He's top cat!

Freda

Little Freda is a lovely girl who is looking for a special person to give her a home.

She is shy at first but loves to be stroked and fussed. She gets stressed out quite easily and worries at sudden movements.

She needs someone to understand her and be patient and let her do her things on her terms.

She needs a quiet home, preferably one person who is there for part of the day or more. She finds it difficult to cope in the cattery environment so it would be best if any new owners had a friend or relative that could care for her at home when they went away.

peepo!

Snooze

We all love the Snooze!

Snooze has come from a home where he was not cared for properly and has become very worried about people in general as a result. However, we have spent a long time working with him and he has turned out to be one of the most playful cats ever! He loves playing but only when he thinks you aren't looking.. He is very food orientated and loves mealtimes.

Snooze needs the chance of a proper life; a fresh start. He has all the potential of being a really lovely cat, he just needs understanding.

Time for a Snooze!

Freddy

Freddy came to us as a stray, he is an older cat but very loving. He loves attention and is very active. He was in poor condition when he came to us but his coat is now greatly improved. Freddy has got the potential to become a wonderful cat if given the chance. He doesn't seem to mind being around other cats.

Gemini

Gemini came to us after being in a road traffic accident from which she is now fully recovered. She is an affectionate and loving cat but as her name implies she has two sides and can be a little feisty at times especially when she gets stressed. She isn't happy around children and would prefer to be the only cat.

Harry

Harry is a lovely boy who came to us because his owner died. He likes a fuss but is also independent and would prefer to be the only cat. Harry is not happy around young children but he might be ok with older children 10yrs or over.

I am reserved

Belle

Belle is a mature lady who came to us as a stray, she was very thin  and her coat very matted hence her shaved appearance. She is a friendly and lively cat who is looking for a quiet home where she can relax and be happy with caring owners in her older years. Belle would prefer not to be in a home with children and she doesn't like other cats.

Malibu

Malibu came to us through no fault of her own as her owner had died. She is 12yrs old and settled in her ways, therefore she wouldn't cope with children, other pets or too much disruption in her daily life. She likes a fuss and attention on her terms and would make a good companion for someone looking for an undemanding cat.

Matty

Matty came to us as a stray, and his coat was very matted up and a lot of it had to be shaved off. He hasn't been here long and is still frightened and tends to hide a lot , but given time we feel he will settle. He would need a quiet home with someone prepared to give him time to get used to them.

Midnight

Midnight has not been here very long, he came in as a stray and is still very frightened. He needs an understanding home. He might be suitable for a smallholding or stables.

Smudge

Smudge came in with her kittens and is in the process of being weaned. She is a friendly cat but a bit shy. She sometimes grumbles when handled but is quite protective of her kittens. She would like a quiet home with no children.

Sparky

Sparky is an elderly cat who is looking for a loving person to give her a home for the remainder of her life, either by adoption or fostering her for us. She is very affectionate and just wants a comfortable place to call home. Sparky wouldn't want to live with children she would prefer a quiet environment.

Tigger

Tigger is a handsome fellow who once he knows you loves attention. He used to live with a dog that chased him so he was frightened to come in the house and spent a lot of time outside. He is a shy cat who would like a quiet home with no children or other animals.

 He might be ok with a very quiet dog that took no notice of cats. Tigger is 4yrs old, and is long haired. He will need regular brushing.

Tibby

Tibby is a sweet  little girl but a bit shy. She gets frightened  around children but she is loving and likes a fuss. She would like a quiet home with no children. Tibby had been badly treated in her early life and finds it difficult to trust people until she gets to know you. She is 13 months old.

Kittens May Be Available!

Toys and playtime are a really important part of your cat's life, and 'Play Therapy' is now a widely accepted form of stress busting!

Whether the cat in the cattery is a kitten or geriatric, we try to encourage all to play, it helps calm them down, and enjoy their time.

Most younger cats enjoy chasing a ball, especially rubber bouncy or ping pong ones, but string toys and long feathers are especially successful, often piquing the interest of even the grumpiest or nervous of cats!

When you take your new cat home, as well as fuss, grooming and food, why not set aside some time every day to spend playing with your cat. It's a great way to get to know each other!
