Where we are unable to take in a cat that needs a new home, we try to help through our Direct Homing Scheme. This is referred to as a "private adoption" as it is up to the potential adopter to liaise directly with the current carer to decide if the cat is suited to its possible new home.
The current carer continues to look after the cat until an adoption takes place. We feature the cat on our website and will provide as much information as we have available, but can make no claim to accurate knowledge of the cat, its health, vaccination status, whether it is neutered, etc.
Normal adoption fees do not apply to the Direct Homing Service, but either party may like to make the Branch a donation for this service.
Tweetie, Bridie and Madison
Three cats, all neutered, vaccinated and lovingly cared for, need new homes because their devoted owner has died of cancer at a relatively young age. Her elderly father is unable to care for them all, though he is ‘keeping one to remind him of his departed daughter, Una’. His other daughter, Bridget, is appealing for new owners to come forward for Tweetie, Bridie and Madison. She says: “My younger sister passed away in January and had 7 cats. As she lived with and cared for Dad, the cats are still with him. We’ve now managed to home some and Dad is going to keep one - so there are now three needing a home. Please help”. Any one or all of the cats can be viewed in the Short Heath area via
Bridget on 07584077687. She can provide all the colour, gender and character details – just torti-girl Bridie and black boy Madison should, if possible, be homed together – Tweetie can be homed separately.

Oi
'Oi' is the only name this little black and white boy is known by. He's been thrown out in the cold because his owner has taken on a dog that doesn't get on with the cat, and so 'oi' is now kindly being looked after by someone else. He is a 4-year old neutered boy, very friendly, and needs a new real home as soon as possible. Anyone wishing to view 'Oi' of Nechells can call
Susan on 359 3341 to arrange.
Binx
Binx is a beautiful 6 year old male tabby and needs a new caring home. He is a loving indoor cat but would benefit from a home minus other animals as he is timid. However, he currently lives with two dogs, another male cat and a baby. Owners of Binx say “we only have a small house and our baby son is now starting to crawl, so it would be a real blessing to us all if Binx had a new home with more fuss and attention than we can currently give. He is vaccinated, wormed and micro chipped.”

Tabby and Esher
Esher and Tabby are a handsome duo who are now looking for a new family.
Tabby is a lovely girl in shades of grey and gold and Esher is a handsome boy with a black coat and cute white socks. They were abandoned together and are now being looked after by older people who sadly will not be able to keep them much longer.
They are both mature and very friendly, and would like to be kept together if possible as they are used to each other's company.

Beau is a neutered boy around 12 years old. He is vaccinated and had most of his teeth out. He is a nervous chap but has lots of love to give, liking nothing more than a fuss on a warm lap. Beau is young at heart and still likes to play. He needs a quiet home with no young children and is being rehomed because he is ‘terrified of his current owner’s 2-year-old’. On the plus side, Beau gets on well with other cats, but probably not dogs. Beau is litter-trained, used to using his cat-flap and enjoys going out.
Charlie is a neutered girl around 9 years old. She is vaccinated and recently ‘boosted’. She’s a cheeky, loveable character, affectionate and loves to follow her owner around. She’s young at heart and loves to play, happy around people and other animals but not so good around boisterous toddlers –but fine with older children. Charlie has never had any health problems – only visiting vets for boosters. She is litter trained, used to using her cat-flap and enjoys going outside.
Moo is a neutered girl around 12 years old. She is vaccinated and due again in May, which her owner says she will pay for/ensure. Moo has had most of her teeth out but manages fine. She’s a soft little sweetie and just wants to love and be loved – likes a fuss and enjoys being brushed. She needs a quiet home with no young children where she can just chill out. Moo is more of an indoor cat nowadays (unless it's nice and sunny out) and is litter trained.
To view any or all of these three cats in the Four Oaks area, contact owner Tracey on 07814 736072.
Didz needs new digs. Natasha needs to rehome her cat Didz because she is moving house. She confirms he is almost 6 years old – a nice-natured cat that enjoys a good fuss and being brushed lots. He likes to go outdoors but also likes his home comforts! He can’t be re-homed with a dog, but he does like other cats. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. For more information or to arrange a viewing in Shard End, Natasha can be contacted on 07824386428 or
e-mail natasha.hamilton@hotmail.co.uk
Didz needs a new home and loves his
home comforts - could you give him both?
Velcro
Velcro is a healthy, neutered oldish (12 years) long-haired black-and-white boy in very good health, according to his owner Marlene. She confirms he has ‘had all of his vaccinations and she will have him micro-chipped if requested’. Sadly, Marlene is moving into rented accommodation and won’t be allowed to take Velcro - who originally came from Cats Protection as a kitten. She says he is ‘friendly, likes a lot of attention, and would suit living with either a young family or an elderly person – but doesn’t like dogs.’ Velcro can be viewed at his home in Boldmere. Contact Marlene on 0121 355 3175 - leave a message if she’s not in and she promises to get back to you promptly.
