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).

SHYLA AND SHELBY ARE SEARCHING FOR SOMEWHERE TO CALL HOME
Tabby female cat Shyla is estimated around 2 years old and is the mother of mixed coloured tabby & white baby boy Shelby who is estimated around 1 year old. Both cats are in good health, neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date with their flea and worm treatment.
Sonia their carer says, "Both mother and son have such a sweet bond and their love for each other melts your heart. Shyla is an affectionate cat that adapts to children too once she gets to know you. Shelby on the other hand can be a bit shy and nervous - he builds his trust and confidence through his mother and once he gets to know you his such a cuddle bug. They are very independent, play, eat and sleep together and very good with routine without a fuss. Both know how to use the litter box and not fussy when it comes to food."
Shelby and Shyla are looking for a calm house with no other pets.
To meet this perfect duo, please contact Sonia on 07512423427. Viewing will be held in Handsworth, B21.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR AN ANGEL?

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.
