Cats of the Month
|
2023
|
| JANUARY: KITTY |
FEBRUARY: ESTA & YASMIN
|
MARCH-MAY: VINNIE
|
 |
 |
 |
| Kitty was born to a feral cat in her village about 9 years ago and has always lived outdoors, but she has been known to come inside to eat and sleep overnight if the conditions are right and she is able to leave on her own terms. Sadly, the lady who has been looking after her in her garden was no longer able to do so and Kitty needed a new place to stay. She is affectionate at meal times and will brush against your legs but does not like to be stroked or picked up. She is definitely not a lap cat but still deserved someone to watch over her. Kitty has gone to live in a managed feral colony in Sussex - all the food she can eat, and outdoor heated pods to sleep in! A perfect outcome for this little girl. |
The Gorgeous Girls, Esta (grey and white) and her daughter Yasmin (dark grey), are both settling in well. Esta follows her new owner around and loves fuss, and Yasmin rushes about playfully. They love their play tunnel, especially hiding in there and then shooting out to give their human a shock! They are both very happy and content, and their new human loves having them there. A very happy ending for the Persian Gems. |
Lovable, friendly Vinnie, a partially-sighted elderly warrior, has retired from his feral life, and gone to live with a calm, gentle owner who will give him a happy retirement as an indoor cat. |
| JUNE - AUGUST: CALLIE |
NOVEMBER: NIEVA |
DECEMBER: LUNA |
 |
 |
 |
| Energetic, boisterous, but loving Callie is believed to be half-Bengal, and needed a special home with someone who understands her quarter Asian Leopard Cat nature! She is now enjoying an active and interesting life with somebody who really knows what she needs! |
Nieva lived with his sister and a dog since he was a few weeks old, but he turned into a bully cat with them, so it was time for him to find his own place. His very experienced new owner is keeping him as an indoor cat, but he’s now living in a roomy flat, and there are plans to build him a catio! He’s settled in well, and his new owner describes him as “Amazing”! |
Lovely, affectionate, curious Luna has settled in really well and her new owners can’t remember what life was like without her! She’s a real sweetie and they are enjoying having her around. She is becoming more playful as time goes on, and is not a noisy cat, just miaows for biscuits, or to go outside. She’s very well-behaved, and doesn’t try to jump on counters – she even waits to be lifted onto the bed!

2022
|
| JANUARY-JUNE: FRODO |
JULY: GINGER |
AUGUST - OCTOBER: MARMITE
|
 |
 |
 |
| Handsome Frodo lives life on his own terms, after a rough life, but is a good cat who just needs someone to understand him - and after six months of searching, he has found a kind owner who can give him what he needs. She finds him a lovely cat, who lets her pick him up, but is apt to bite if he sees sudden movement in his peripheral vision, a legacy of his past. But now he is happy and contented, with a garden and scrubland to play in and a loving home to come back to. |
Ginger is one of the minority of ginger cats who are female. After living with one owner all her life, he had to go into hospital so she came to us. She has settled in well to her new home and is now contentedly sitting on laps! |
Marmite, seven years old, came from China with his owners, five years ago. He loves his food very much, and needs an eye kept on his weight! Marmite has found a happy new home with a patient owner, and has settled in well.

2021
|
| SEPTEMBER: LUCY |
NOVEMBER & DECEMBER: SALI MALI & BLAZE |
|
 |
 |
|
| Lucy was about 14 months old and came to us with her kittens. She was very timid to start with. Now in her new home, her owner says that Lucy has settled in really well and is very confident now: She loves to be played with, and have her tummy rubbed when she is playing or being brushed. She also enjoys playing with her numerous toys on her own too - she has boundless energy and gets very excited and frisky when she is playing. She loves company, and likes to sit on her owner’s lap watching TV etc., or on top of her at night! She is a very happy, loving cat, and has certainly made it clear which areas of the house are now her favourite spots |
Sali-Mali and Blaze were the bottom of the heap in a household of 18 cats, and they are strongly bonded together. Sali Mali has settled into their new home the quicker of the two, and follows her owner around the house like a little shadow at times; she is very keen to give and receive headbutts and fuss. Sali Mali likes watching the TV, perched beside her owner on the arm of the chair. She's also loving her new garden. Blaze is still taking her time to settle in, as she is easily spooked and is very much a nocturnal girl who likes to hide during the day. There are plenty of hiding places she can occupy, including the bedroom wardrobe to which Sali Mali obligingly opens the door if she ever finds it closed. Blaze is starting to become more relaxed in her new surroundings and rolls around on the floor for a tummy tickle. The girls play and chase each other around the house during the night, so that's fun. |
|
| APRIL: MINSTREL |
JUNE: FOREST |
AUGUST: MARTHA |
 |
 |
 |
| After being abandoned in a very poorly state, Minstrel remained in our care for 19 months being nursed back to health, Minstrel has now been adopted by a lovely lady that was willing to take on a diabetic cat with additional health issues and was getting his feet under the carpet and his head on her pillow! Minstrel however decided to make a break to freedom, which was overly concerning due to his health issues. The fosterer and her family went over on a few occasions to help the adopter search for him, and I am pleased to report he is safe and well back in his new home, staying awfully close to his adopter. |
When Forest came in, he was frightened, particularly of feet and legs, but he has found a quiet home where he has blossomed into a friendly little lad, folowing his new owner about and happily sitting next to them. |
Martha used to be a pet until her owner bought a dog and she moved out into the neighbour’s garden where she would come up to the back door to be fed, but wouldn’t come inside anymore. She was a very special little cat and needed a very special home. Thankfully, she now has a happy life with her new owner, and within a few days was relaxing and getting comfortable. |
| JANUARY: BRANSTON |
FEBRUARY: MINOR |
MARCH: STELLA |
 |
 |
|
| Branston had a bit of an eventful journey, but is now living in a happy home near Heathrow, where he settled in very quickly and is doing well! |
Minor has moved to live near a golf course. He's settling in well, playing with toys and sitting on laps, and generally remembering what it is like to be a beloved pet. Having lost two homes in the recent past, he is quite needy for affection, which his new owner is happy to provide. |
After a difficult start, with a neck injury and 4 newborn kittens, needing to wear a smart red bodysuit for a few weeks, Stella has found a quiet, happy home with plenty of fussing, warm places to curl up and sleep with cuddly toys, and catnip mice to chase! |

| Sweet, gentle old Theodore (16) was looking for a quiet, happy home for his retirement. He has arthritis and a heart murmer, both controlled with medication. He's living with a mother and daughter now, and having a lovely time. |
Suki had a difficult life, kicked out after a family breakup, living rough, losing her sister to a dog attack, and with the neighbour that fed her dying. Once she came to us, we found she had heart and kidney problems. She found a lovely home, but her new owner died! So back she came to us, but now has a happy home with a lady who specialises in older cats, and is settling in well. |
Squeak came to us very timid and shy, from a multicat household. At first, he flinched every time somebody petted him, but he slowly got more used to it, and once he trusted someone, he did enjoy it. He loves his toys, and his dinner, and has a very special purr!! He found his special person, and has gone to live in large house in the country - happy ending! |

She has gone to live with a gentleman who had just lost his own cat and couldn't face a home without a feline companion. She has settled well and is happy to be home! |

| MARCH: ALFIE |
FEBRUARY: TILLEY |

He doesn't like surprises but otherwise really relaxed and content in himself. Alfie's fosterer went on holiday, leaving him in the care of a friend - who fell in love with him, and has adopted him! |
She is a sweet, affectionate cat, 8 years old, who was not enjoying being in a pen. She was homed by us as a kitten and was very happy until the couple had children. She couldn’t cope with a family and moved out of the house to live in the garden. She found just what she needed: a quiet home without small children. |
These two were only cats of the month for a week before they got adopted! Three year old brothers, they were looking for a new home because their owner moved and couldn't take them with her. They were homed together, which was great for them because they had always lived together. |
