There are no adoption fees for the Direct Homing Scheme but either party may choose to make a donation to the branch if they wish, which is always much appreciated.

CAN COKEY COME HOME WITH YOU?
Cokey is a sweet, loving cat who is approximately 4 years old. After being abandoned by her original owners, she has some trust issues but once she gets to know someone, she loves to be fussed. Cokey’s favourite activities include standing right next to your legs when you are cooking, finding the fluffiest pillow to make biscuits on, and playing with her favourite mouse toy.
Cokey is in good health but will need her latest vaccinations. It is unclear whether or not she has been spayed, so this will need to be confirmed by a vet. Cokey would like a home with a secure garden - she likes to sit in the sun but prefers for the door to be left open. Cokey may be able to live with another pet at some point but would do best as the only pet for now, and would not suit a home with small children.
Due to a change in living arrangement, the current owners are looking to rehome Cokey from the B24 area. She would come with her blanket, toys, scratcher, litter box and carrier. To arrange a viewing, please contact Paulina on 07832165129 (text first).

DO YOU HAVE SPACE FOR SUPER SWEET SIBLINGS SOOKI AND SOOTI?
Brother (Sooti) and sister (Sooki) are 12 week old kittens looking for a home as a pair. Born 20th October, they have now been weaned from their mum Shyla (also available for rehoming) and are ready to find a forever home of their own.
The kittens will need their first vaccinations soon and to be neutered once they have reached 4/5 months. They are fully litter-trained and enjoy meat-flavoured wet food. They eat, sleep and play together, enjoying tunnels, high perches, cat beds, wand toys and soft balls.
Sooki is the most confident of the pair and likes to boss her brother around but they are both very energetic and friendly. So far, they have been indoor only but should be fine to go outdoors once they are older and fully vaccinated. They get on well with their mother and older brother so may be able to live with other animals. Sooki and Sooti are looking for a quiet home as they can be timid and easily scared by loud noises. They will need someone who can play with them regularly and spend most of the day with them, at least until they are settled and a bit older.
To meet these sweet siblings, please contact Sonia on 07512423427 (text first). Viewing will be in Handsworth.

SHYLA AND SHELBY ARE SEARCHING FOR SOMEWHERE TO CALL HOME
2 year old mum Shyla and her son 9 month old Shelby are in need of a new home together. This gorgeous pair were taken in temporarily by carer Sonia while Shyla was heavily pregnant with a second litter of kittens. Now the kittens are old enough, it’s time for this bonded pair to find their forever home.
Both cats are in good health, neutered and microchipped. They are up to date with flea and worm treatments but need their vaccinations done. They are not fussy with food and have no issues using a litter tray.
Shyla is very affectionate, friendly and adapts easily to strangers, Shelby is a bit nervous and builds his confidence through his mother but enjoys some fuss once he trusts you. Both enjoy playtime (especially a wand toy), follow routine easily and are very independent. They are looking for a calm home with no children and no other pets.
To meet this perfect pair, please contact Sonia on 07512423427 (text first). Viewing will be in Handsworth.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR AN ANGEL?
Beautiful long-haired cat Angel is in need of a new home, as her current owners are moving abroad. At 14 years old, she enjoys the quiet life but loves fuss and being petted. For an older cat, Angel is in excellent health aside from mild arthritis, and she has been spayed and is up to date with vaccinations.
Angel would need to go to a home that is adult only or with older children (10+) and no other pets. She would ideally like a small garden to spend some time outside but would be happy living indoors. Angel will come with a carrier, cat bowls and litter tray.
To meet Angel, please contact Mrs Khan on 07878810867 (text first). Viewing is in Ward End.

MOTHER AND THREE KITTENS LOOKING FOR THEIR PURRFECT HOMES
Young stray mum cat Cookie and her three adorable kittens are looking for homes of their own, after being taken in and cared for by Aurelie and Sandeep. Due to having three house cats of their own, they are unable to keep this young family but are committed to finding them safe and loving homes as soon as possible. The cats can go individually or as pairs. All of them are up to date with flea and worm treatments. Their favourite toys, bowls, and food for a few days will be provided.
To enquire about any of this gorgeous set, contact Sandeep on 07828979666 or Aurelie on 07417488352 (preferably by text first). Viewings will be in Acocks Green.
Cookie is a young cat (exact age unknown) who was found as a stray while pregnant and then gave birth to five kittens. She is very friendly and loves fuss. Cookie needs a permanent loving home to live her life to the fullest.
Cookie is extremely cuddly, vocal and affectionate. She will shortly be spayed but still needs her vaccinations. Cookie does have some tummy issues and teeth problems: she will need a clean and extraction. Aurelie and Sandeep believe Cookie could be an indoor or outdoor cat, and while she could live with other cats, she would be just as happy as an only cat - she prefers human company. She is untested with dogs and friendly with children.
UPDATE 27/9/23: Tuxy has been adopted - we wish him lots of happiness in his new forever home! Tuxy is a male, 3 month old (as of 18th September) kitten with no health issues. He is a charming, curious boy who loves playing with feather toys and cuddling in laps.
Whippy is a female, 3 month old (as of 18th September) kitten with no health issues. She is adventurous, charming and loves attention. Aurelie and Sandeep believe she would do well with another cat, either one of her siblings or if there is already a cat in the household.
Whippy needs vaccinating and spaying once she is old enough. Aurelie and Sandeep say she would be fine on her own or with another cat, is good with children, untested with dogs. So far she has only lived indoors but may enjoy a secure garden on a quiet road when she is older.
Blacky is a female, 3 month old (as of 18th September) kitten with no health issues. She is energetic, likes to follow humans around and enjoys both playtime and cuddles.
Blacky needs vaccinating and spaying once she is old enough. Aurelie and Sandeep say she is good with children, untested with dogs. Blacky loves having another cat around and so if possible would prefer to be adopted with one of her siblings or mum Cookie. So far she has only lived indoors but may enjoy a secure garden on a quiet road when she is older.

MUM MISSY AND HER YOUNGSTERS NEED NEW HOMES
- AND OWNER EMMA SAYS 'SOON AS POSSIBLE'
Emma of Smiths Wood is looking for new homes for her ‘family of three cats’ because of a change in her personal circumstances forcing an imminent move. Her 3 lovely cats can go separately if necessary and will still be happy. They are neutered/spayed, litter trained, flea/worm treated, eat well (Go-cat and Whiskas), and enjoy the outdoors. All three enjoy a diet of dry food and wet, and spending time in the garden.
Says Emma: “White and black Missy is Mum. She is 8 years old – a lovely girl who loves exploring and enjoys a fuss – playful and good with children. She’s the most adventurous of the clan – she can spend a sunny day in the outdoors but always back home for food and a fuss. White with tabby eyebrows is Bob - 6 years old and chilled – happy to be left to his own devices. A lone wolf who keeps to himself most of the time. But he gives a tap on the arm when he needs fuss – or food! He limps a little in cold weather so as the vet says ‘probably a bit of arthritis but not concerning’. So his greatest need is a warm, comfortable place for a rest.
“Gina is a 6 year-old torti-and-white girl. She’s chipped, super chatty and loves to be around people. She'd like to be homed alone as she prefers to be away from her Mum and brother! She’s affectionate and loves attention. She joins in human conversations with a plaintiff meow and purr.
To enquire, contact Emma via e-mail: emmalouisepeck@gmail.com or 07545915368, text/whatsapp if preferred.

LOLA & ED NEED A PEACEFUL PLACE TO REST THEIR HEADS
Purrlease - adopt this purrfect purr-pair!
Terrific-looking twosome Lola and Ed need a new home as their owner's 2-year-old toddler has upset their many years of ‘total peace’! Lola is a pure-white 10-year-old and her long-time ginger and white companion Ed is 7 years old – so of course they need to be rehomed together.
Owner Laura says: “Lola can be shy, but likes fuss on her own terms. Ed is more loving and more bouncy. Both are spayed/neutered/vaccinated - Lola is chipped too and we are checking whether Ed was chipped when he was neutered at Value-Vets. So far, they have been indoor cats, so they could either go to their new home as indoor cats or if their adopter has a safe garden and lives on a quiet road they could ‘give them a try' at the great outdoors. We think they would be okay with older respectful children or an adult-only home - but no dogs. They enjoy most brands of wet food and Whiskas biscuits, and are reliable with their litter trays.”
Lola and Ed can go to their new home with their toys, carrier, litter trays and bowls. To chat about the cats, call (preferably text first) Laura on 07476513143. A viewing would be in Kingstanding.

COULD TABU BE THE GIRL FOR YOU?
Tabu is an 'older girl' with white whiskers and bib, who is spayed and flea/worm treated. Her current carer, Sonia, says she was a ’stray from nearby, and was being fed for many years by an elderly lady’.
Says Sonia: “Healthwise, she seems good for her age, which is 11-12 years old. I’m finding her friendly and enjoying Felix pouches, She uses a cat flap, and likes to sleep on the veranda! Loves time with me to play and have fuss. Tabu should be an only pet, no children, basically a quiet home. A new owner would likely want to get her vaccinated and chipped.”
To express an interest in Tabu, contact Sonia (preferably text first) on 07512423427 – a viewing would be in Handsworth.
