JESS & ROSIE
This lovely mother & daughter duo aged 14 & 11 were really lucky to be able to stay together and to now have a super loving forever home. They've been with their lovely new owner for a month and here they are on their first trip outside getting ready to explore the garden where we're sure they'll spend the rest of the summer sunning themselves and enjoying life.

This gorgeous pair are Humbug and Freya.
Their owners adopted Humbug first and then Freya and here’s Humbug telling her all about the fun she can have outside once she’s old enough to venture there.

OREO (now Ollie) and his sister Twix were 2 of last year’s kittens. Ginger & White Twix was adopted by her fosterer who has fostered over a 100 kittens for Cats Protection, all of them going to lucky new owners until Twix stole her heart. Ollie (Black & White) and Twix have just had their first birthday so Ollie (with a little help from his human) sent this lovely message to his sister:-
Hi Twix
I'm grown up now and love snoozing,eating,going out at night and playing with the humans.
I have had many adventures.
Fending off a sparrow hawk was awesome :I got extra treats for that so it was well worth it!
I've caught a fieldmouse but I had to let it go!
It's the outdoor life for me!
Pity they haven't got a farm.
Time for breakfast now and they have promised me fresh fish for tea.
What a life!
Best wishes.
Ollie(Oliver)

HUMBUG is fabulous. He has fitted into our family very easily. He loves the kids and is happy to be into literally everything within our home. He loves the washing machine as it sings at the end! His little face.
He has a little routine, just like a baby really, of being fed at 7 am then playing for a bit, then about 11 am having a nap, then having another around 3 pm.
He then plays until bed and then falls asleep on our laps.
He has also started to get affectionate with everyone now, which is lovely to see!

| TABS (now Wookie) was rehomed in February. His new owners were not at all fazed when we warned them he would probably take a while to settle and they would need to be very patient with him. To our amazement and utter delight, in less than a week his lovely new owners sent us photos of him cuddling up alongside them and looking very relaxed - he'd formed an immediate bond with them and his anxieties had disappeared, which is quite something. 3 months on and we've received more photos of a very contented and much loved cat. |
 |
| Georgous boy Karl is celebrating his first week with his new family. He certainly looks like he's made himself at home! |
  |
| We adopted Bibi (Blackberry) from you guys mid February. Her confidence has grown heaps and bounds. She's such a sweetheart and we can't imagine life without her! — feeling blessed. |
 |
| LULU (now LUNA) has settled very happily into her new home and is much loved by her new family. |
 |
| Thor has been in his new home for over a year now and it's safe to say he's feeling very relaxed! |
 |
| The lovely Charlie was rehomed recently. He loves his new home and his family adore him! He recently joined in on a big family birthday celebration via Zoom and as you can see dressed up very smartly for the occasion. |
 |
| OLIVER (Oreo) - Now 6 months old, here he is taking a nap after a strenuous game of ping pong. "We love him to pieces" says his owners. |
 |
| KEITH - Keith’s new owners have had him for 4 weeks now and here is on his first trip outside exploring the garden. His owners are delighted with him and have been kind enough to thank us for bringing him into their lives where he is obviously much loved. |
 |
KATIE - Katie settled very quickly into her new home, claiming a lap within 2 hours of her arrival. We are told she is a joy to have around and we see she’s even in charge of the remote controls!
|
 |
| BUDDY & LOLA(2) - Having been in their new home for 3 weeks we are told that they have explored most of the house and are looking longingly out of the window at the garden. Their new owner says they are into everything and she just loves this beautiful pair to bits. |
  |
| |
|
| LOLA's new owners had been very patient and waited right through lockdown for her. Although they hadn't actually met her until she was placed on their doorstep there was an instant bond between them. She slept on the bed the very first night and Lola loves them as much as they love her and acts as though she has been with them forever. She's one very happy cat with equally happy new owners. |
 |
|
|
MAISIE settled in very quickly with her new owners after being with us right through Lockdown. We are told she is always purring and wants cuddles from all the household, going from one family member to another sitting on laps waiting to be fussed. |

Jeeves (now Ozzie) is photographed here by his new owners enjoying his first introduction to the joys of a garden, having previously been an indoor cat. We’re told that he happily explores on the lead several times a day so we can see that when it’s time for him to explore on his own, he won’t have any worries about his exciting new world.

Blossom has really settled in! She has several places she likes to sleep, and here she is in the conservatory where she has taken over one of the chairs. And she is now happily using the cat flap to go in and out (a few anxious days for us of course!) every day is a new day, with something different to amuse us. She sleeps on my bed at night without making a sound till morning.
She jumps up from the ground into my husbands arms and lies happily next to the dog....she seems to have a grumpy look on her face...I don’t think she likes having her photo taken!
|
|
Tipsy has now started going out, she’s doesn’t seem massively keen but she is fascinated by the fish pond (its well covered so no chance of her falling in). She seems to like to have an inch by inch circuit sniffing everything and then she comes back in.
She has also decided that she expects her humans to entertain her around about 9pm every night throwing a ping pong ball along the hallway so she can chase it, wrestle it and then she stops and expects it sent back the other way. So either it takes 2 of us or you have to keep walking up and down the hallway!
She’s also discovered that about the same time of night there is often a cup on the table with some milk in it for tea and she’s been caught several times in the process of lapping it up.

Her new family say “Annie has settled in amazingly well. She is just the right cat for us in every way. We’re over the moon” |
| “Vula’s new owners tell us she has settled in tremendously well and now acts as though she owns the place - which sounds about right!" |
 |
 |
Loki is settling in really well with his new owners.
He's now busy exploring his new house and is a really happy boy. |
| Rose has diabetes and stole all our hearts whilst she was with us as she is such a sweet cat. We were really happy to receive these photos from her new owners who tell us they love her to pieces - she settled in really well with her Labrador friends and assumed the position of head of the household almost immediately! |
 |
 |
Cloud & Storm have been with their new owners a few weeks now and we are told - "This adorable pair have settled in so well, they are an absolute delight" |
Blossom is settling in well...every day she gets bolder, exploring more of the house. She and Millie the springer are establishing a relationship....blossom will be the boss! Her she is on my bed, very relaxed, and happy to lie there with Millie nearby.
Everyone adores her! We feel so lucky to have her in our home. |

Betty is a story we are particularly proud of. This very sweet little tortie girl had been left to fend for herself, a kind lady was feeding her, but she was moving away and couldn’t take Betty with her. So she rang us as she was desperately worried what would happen to Betty who was clearly an older girl in need of some care and attention, having got quite scruffy and unkempt. We picked Betty up and she was soon settling in with our fosterer Sarah. She went to the vets who thought she was around fifteen years old. We had her thoroughly checked over and this revealed that she had a thyroid problem so it was decided that she would have her thyroid removed. Betty was soon recovering from her op, putting on weight, looking much better and proving to be a friendly and loving little cat. Betty was with us over Christmas but she had the best New Year present she could have when a lady who has a particular love of older cats visited and decided to adopt her. We’ve heard back from her new owner to say she is absolutely thrilled with her, she is great company and has already got the house running her way! Sadly these older cats often get overlooked, but as Betty proves they can bring a lot of love and joy to people.
Here are some photos of her in her new home |

Purdhu was one of our first cats to be rehomed in 2017.
His new owners say
"He is such a beautiful lovely little cat. So gentle but very funny.
He is settling in so well, already rules the roost! He likes all the attention and loves his toys.His coat is looking shiney
and as always eats loads!
We think he has learnt his name as seems to respond when we call him.He isn't looking to go out at all which is fine
as he can stay in as long as he wants till he's ready.
He still likes the floor mainly for sleeping anywhere in the house! Still not keen on his beds, just jakes when he is in it!
So all is going really well and he is certainly and very loved cat!"

Here are Annie and Oliver in their new home!!
Their new owners say
"Oliver is a complete coward and tends to run back inside if a bird should happen to tweet nearby.
Annie is much braver and goes out for about 30 minutes but stays in running distance of the house.
Both are very affectionate. Oliver particularly likes to snuggle up on the sofa with me at night.
He is very particular and will have most of his body on the sofa and rest his head on my leg." |

Tabitha has certainly fallen on her feet after being rehomed to a lovely family in Falmouth. They had just lost their beloved Dottie after a long illness and were keen to give another cat a home.
Tabitha is a real lap cat and always looking for plenty of fuss - which she gets of course! She's certainly made herself at home and has the run of the house (including the beds!) but prefers to have the cat flap pegged open than push it herself. It's obvious that Tabitha's previous 'mum' had done a good job as she is such a loving and trusting cat. We are so pleased for Tabitha and her new family.
This is the lovey Thomas in his new home. He's settled really well from the start and is now using the cat flap and letting himself in and out at will. His new owner is really happy with him and they are enjoying each other's company very much.
Another very happy homing!
Charlie and Izzy were both rescued by us from separate locations. Charlie was found hiding in a garage, Izzy was found under some decking. Neither, along with their siblings, had been handled by humans so took a few weeks to come around. Charlie went to his new home first and got his paws under the table quite quickly. Then a week later his new sister Izzy arrived, meaning Charlie now had to share the house with his new playmate. After a few days of hissing and growling, they are now best mates and love each other very much. So a happy ending at last.
Here's a picture of Toby in his new home - truly settled after just a few days with his new big brother and sister.
No room for people on this sofa!
Here is Elsa (on right) is now living happily in her new home. She was very challenging for her new owners as she was very distrustful and for the first few weeks was finding hidey holes and was very timid. With a lot of patience, she is now much more confident and enjoying watching the pigeons and butterflies in the garden.
Here is Milo who is looking completely at home - after only one day with his new owners. Success!

Look at this picture of kitten contentment (on right). Tori aka Freda is now in her new home and relaxing!
This is Kiki on the left in her new happy home. She was found in a farm shed but is really enjoying her new friends.
This is Nimbus (on the right) who is a lovely white and black male kitten with his new four year old friend. It was an early birthday present from her mum and the little girl was thrilled to bits. Nimbus has already made himself at home!
These lovely kittens (on left) were born in our care in the middle of March. They have been rehomed together to a happy home. Jackson is all black male and his sister Cookie is grey and white. They are enjoying their new home and exploring everywhere.
This is Lewis in his 'I bed' - what was an I Mac computer. Great recycling by Steph
one of our valued volunteers.
Hollybell is a lovely tabby female cat with beautiful markings. She has a bob tail and as she came in as a stray we don't know whether she was born like this or had it removed due to an accident or illness.
She has found a wonderful new home with a retired couple. Here she is in the chair she has claimed as her own!

Pudsey (was Chico) came into our care after an urgent call to rescue some kittens from a farm. He came in with his two sisters and they were quite wild and scared when we initially had them. One of our fosterers took a lot of time and patience and with loads of tlc managed to bring them around to a point where they could be rehomed. Pudsey is now happy ensconced in family life and get on brilliantly with new new best friends - the family cat and dog and loves nothing more than cuddles from his new humans. He is a very lucky kitten.
These three beautiful 'feral' kittens are called Smokey, Smudge and Pickle. As one of
the owners is allergic to cats they decided to have feral cats instead. An old tractor shed has been converted for them and although they are farm cats & they live outside they are very loved and spoilt & even have heated beds in the winter! They are all so friendly now and sneak in to the owners office and curl up in beds or on her lap while she's working! A very successful homing for all.
Hattie (previously called Treacle) was the 100th cat we rehomed this year. Her new owners have told us that she enjoys nothing more than chasing butterflies or any insect around the garden, and in the evening after playing with her toys she likes to curl up on the mat in front of the log burner for the night to dream. She is very affectionate and is loved to bits.
Salem and Tigerlily (on right) are loving their new home and each other. They have settled into their new home very well - their new owners say it is almost like they have always been with them. When Salem had to have his vaccination and was a little drowsy, Tigerlily has looked after him ... so cute. They are really different personalities, but get on really well, and cuddle up most evenings in their cat basket.

Midnight (now Jess) pictured on the left came into our care as her owners were moving and unable to take her with them.
Here she is in her new home. She has settled in very well with everyone including the other resident cat Max.
She is a beautiful cat and is loved by all her new family.

Fluffy (on right) was rehomed as she was living with an elderly gentleman who could no longer look after her. She was then moved to a house with quite a few other animals and she was very stressed living there. At 7 months old, Fluffy was just desperate for a new family to settle in with. We rescued her, health checked her, microchipped and then spayed her. We managed to find her a new home within 24 hours of picking her up and she has settled in with her new family extremely well. Now renamed Tara, she has a new feline playmate who she chases and 3 human children who give her lots of cuddles. So Tara is now a very happy young cat.
Benji (on left) is a 3 yr old Maine Coone who we rescued at the very last minute. We had a call to say that his owner had booked him in to the vets to be put to sleep. We rushed in and scooped him up (a hard task as he is about 6kg!). He was incredibly timid and shy and wouldn't eat. He was so nervous and distrustful of humans. After spending time with our fosterers, he gradually came out of his shell. We managed to find a lovely home for him but sadly after only a few short weeks, it didn't work out and he was returned to us. Then fate played a massive part and a lovely couple with 2 older cats have now rehomed him. With a little patience, time and lots of TLC, he is now living happily in his new home and getting on with his playmates. What a fantastic ending for Benji the Lion! This is what Cats Protection is all about, saving cats, rehabilitating them and finding their forever home.

Here is Poppy (on right) after only a week in her new home. Her new owners tell us that she is settling in very well now - for the first two days she hid under the bed but now plays and loves to sit on the couch. She is very tolerant of the lovely little girl pictured with her who constantly wants to stroke her! Her new owners had been nervous of getting an adult cat with a toddler around but they say Poppy is a pleasure, very loving and has made their house a home.
Toby (on left). This is an updated photo of Toby who was rehomed a few months ago. He came in to us as an unwanted kitten and his good looks got him a new home within a week. He is very happy in his new home and is much loved.
Here's Daisy settling in very well in her new home. She is longing to go outside to explore but needs a bit more time to get to know everyone. Her new owners are very pleased with you - as you can see she likes to sneak on the bed when no-one is looking.
Milly (right) and Billy (left) were brought in as strays and
were very shy. They have now found a lovely home where
they have really come out of themselves. Their new
owner says they love playing with their fishing line and
catnip balls. Both roll over the have their tummies
tickled and are very gentle.
Lottie and Lola were incredibly timid 6 month old ginger kittens - they had been living rough as strays since birth. We rehomed them really quickly to a fantastic family, who within an amazingly short period of time, have turned the shy little kittens into ones who now enjoy a stroke and a cuddle and have lovely loud purrs.
What an amazing future these cats now have.
Ruby (on right) was rehomed recently after quite a long wait. She came in with her brother Jasper who was rehomed very quickly. They didn't particularly get on so Ruby became a complete Princess when she had all of the attention to herself and didn't have to share. Ruby is now rehomed with a lovely couple and has settled in very well and has her own special chair!
Here's Smudge (black & white) and his brother Dexter (dark tabby & white) relaxing in their new home - they were adopted as young kittens and have grown into very handsome boys.
