Hello everyone, I'm Blue and I have some great news. After a year waiting for a new home I have finally landed on my wee paws and have the best new mum and dad. My previous owner was very sad to have to rehome me but she had a change in personal circumstances and knew it was best I found a new home. Things have been a little up and down since my move but my mum and dad are doing everything in their power to make this transition as easy as possible. I know that given a few more weeks I will be fully settled and ready to enjoy the rest of my life with my new family. Thank you to Cats Protection for not giving up on me.

We are so pleased to let you all know that Lucas and Asher have found their forever home. Their new mum is an experienced cat owner and she was not put off in the slightest with Lucas’s temperament. We knew we had to find someone special for these boys and who was understanding of Lucas’s needs. Lucas and Asher came to us from a household where feral cats came and went, their mother was feral and the boys did not have a lot of human interaction. Luckily Asher came round quite quickly after coming into foster care but Lucas was extremely wary and nervous of people. He soon settled and was happy to be in your company but he would not let you stroke him. He continued to make small improvements but he is still wary of you going to touch him and that is why we needed someone who would continue to support his progress. The boys had only been in their new home a short time before they were exploring and running mad around the house. Lucas is continuing to progress and we know that we found the purrfect owner for them. We thank Lucas and Asher’s mum so much for giving these boys a wonderful future to look forward to.

Jasper has now gone to a lovely lady in Bo'ness and whose house has a safe garden where he will be able to explore the great outdoors for the first time in his life. Great excitement for Jasper, we'll miss him but wish him good times ahead.

Sophia and her baby Erin have now gone to their forever home. They are now in a lovely quiet home with two cat loving ladies. This will suit Sophia as she had a very traumatic time during the first eight weeks of her pregnancy. We rescued her just in time to have her babies in a secure place. We are sure we will hear all about their progress

Our two beautiful kittens, Daisy and Darcy, are now in their new forever home. They have settled well with two resident older cats and a very old dog. We hear from their new mum regularly and hopefully this will continue.

Hi peeps, it's me, Dido or, as I am now called, Minou! I'm delighted to share my good news with all you fab cat lovers in West Lothian. After being handed in as a stray and living with my foster mum for quite a few weeks, no one from my previous life ever came to claim me. My old family didn't microchip me, so sadly they could never be traced - and nothing was known of my time before I was fostered although my foster mum always maintained I have been a very well loved pet who had for whatever reason become lost possibly miles away from my original home. Anyway my foster mum got me all sorted out at the vets including the most important thing of all - my microchip (just in case I felt like wandering again, at least this way I can be reunited with my owners). I was in foster care for quite a while before anyone enquired about me, but I wasn't bothered as my foster mum said that she would find me that very special forever home. I've heard that since I've been adopted there have been loads of people asking for me, but I'm glad to say that I'm purrfectly happy where I am and I couldn't have found a nicer family to take care of me. I have a new mum and dad and a human baby sister Mara and a cool human brother Roban. My foster mum was very happy when she knew my new family wanted me as they had already adopted one of her foster babies Carmen last year. So as well as my wonderful human family to keep me company, I've also got a new pal to play with. I've even got a great new name which I love - I'm now Minou (which means kitty in French :-) I've got everything a friendly wee girl like me could ever want and this time, I'm going to stay put and I'll not be wandering off anymore. A big thank you to my new family for giving me a second chance and to Cats Protection for helping me find them. Lots of purry furry kisses Minou xxxx
Here is what Minou's new mum has to say - "After a lot of deliberation we have decided to name her Minou (it is French for kitty) - although Mara calls her 'Baby'. She is brilliant!! On the first afternoon there was a lot of growling between her and Carmen and I would say it took a couple of days to settle down totally. They are now really good together, they seem to have a daft half hour every morning chasing each other around the house and then flake out for a wee nap. They are not at the stage of sharing a bed yet but they do eat together. She is an extremely affectionate cat and as soon as you sit down she seems to take that as her cue to sit beside you. She is fantastic - particularly with Mara. I wonder if she has been in a house with a wee one before as she seems to know instinctively what to do around her and is quite often found sitting under the high chair in case some food finds its way to her. She doesn't seem to like Mara crying and will come to investigate what the problem is. She likes Mara's 'cuddles' and even tolerates her trying to get into the cat basket beside her. She likes to lie on the bed beside Roban and snuggles in under his chin. We wondered if she has been a house cat previously as Roban tried to take her out into the garden on the lead and she shot back into the house, which also might explain the lack of microchip? Anyway, she has settled in perfectly and she is a lovely wee cat.

We are so very pleased to inform that our wee Lola, who has waited for her forever home since last July, finally landed on all four of her furry paws and is now very happily living with her new mum. Lola has really settled in, is wandering about her new home, is bonding well with her Mum and is gaining more confidence every day. Well done Lola.

Emmie and Molly are now settled in with their new mum and are loving their new home. Emmie has taken over the radiator bed in the bedroom and Molly is sleeping on mum's knee whenever the opportunity arises. They love playing on the stairs, chasing each other and having play fights. They also like sitting at the kitchen door with the long window watching the world go by and eager for the day they can go out and explore.

Hi cat lovers of West Lothian, meet this gorgeous bunch of kittens, Benson, Kiki, Troy, Hector, Corrie and Jessica who all came into foster care just after Christmas 2012. They all starred at the rehoming day held on January 12th and were snapped up by devoted new owners before they had a chance to appear on our adoption webpage.
Corrie and Jessica (now Flynn and Jess) were adopted together by an experienced cat loving couple which was lovely as Corrie was very shy and relied on his more extrovert sister to look out for him - they have both settled in well and are thriving.
Kiki was the first to be reserved - her new family and human sister Jade fell in love with her gentle nature and beautiful grey markings - she has now become well and truly part of the family.
Troy and Hector (now Alfie and Oscar) are proper Daddy's boys - who are worshipped by their new mum and dad. Fiona tells me even though they are sometimes naughty, she wouldn't have it any other way and they simply can't remember what life was like before they were around.
Benson (now the wonderful Mr Boris Miaowgi!!) has a besotted new mum, Morag, a devoted human brother Michael and a Granny pin cushion!!! He was his foster dad's little treasure and only the best would do for him - and believe me, he got the best.
Here is what he has to say ..... "Dear Auntie Roz and Uncle Ian, I've settled really well into my new home with my new family. I've got them all wrapped round my little paw and I'm a very spoilt young boy cat! My hairy brothers are great fun. Murphy (he's a cat like me) is huge but I'm not sacred of him at all. He gives me cuddles everyday and likes to lick me all over. He says he's cleaning me, but I think it's just cos I taste so good! Barney (he's a dog) thinks he is the protector of the family. He follows me around like a shadow making sure I'm safe and he smiles at me a lot. But when I do my side stepping Indian war dance he gets a fright and runs away (big scaredy dog really!) he likes to lick me too (I told you I taste great!) Barney has a big fluffy tail which he wags a lot. I like pouncing on it, I think he likes that cos it makes him wag it even more! The three of us hairy babies (Mum's special name for us) all run about playing together, it's so much fun! We've got lots of toys. My favourite was a seahorse on a dangly string but Murphy and me got too rough with it and we ripped its head off so mum promised to buy me a new one. My other favourite is tinfoil balls! I could chase those bad boys all over the house for hours! Mum sits for ages rolling bits of tinfoil up for me and I think it's great fun to kick them all under the TV unit then scream at her until she goes and fetches them for me! Granny usually pops in to visit us every day. She's allergic to cats but she still gives me cuddles and fusses me even though I make her sneeze and get itchy eyes! She's another one who spoils us with treats! It's great when she visits, I call her my Granny Pincushion cos I like to jump up and knead her legs with my kitty claws! My human brother Michael is my best friend. He's got lots of patience and is kind to me. I have an obsession with licking his thumb, I pretend it's an ice cream! It makes Michael laugh! We play for ages, then when I'm a wee bit tired I just curl up on his knee and have a snooze. He's a comfy person to sleep on! My favourite place to sleep though is on mum's neck! She bought me a nice cosy bed, but I just use it to store my toys in. Every night when mum goes to bed, Murphy and me jump up beside her (Barney is a bit old so he can't jump onto her bed, he lies on the floor beside it) Murphy wraps himself round mum's feet and I drape myself across her neck and we all fall asleep! My favourite way to wake mum up in the morning is by tickling her ace with my claws! I'm very gentle, I just tap tap tap away at her face until she opens her eyes, then I tell her I'm ready for breakfast. I scream and scream louder and louder, shouting "breakfast time!" at the top of my voice, then I run down to the kitchen and stand beside the food cupboard (I learned very quickly what cupboard had my food in it!) I keep screaming until she hands me my breakfast. Mum laughs and says I sound like a fire alarm! I've got a big appetite, my mum says I'll end up a wee chunk if I'm not careful but I keep telling her I'm just a growing boy, so she usually gives in if I'm on the mooch for a treat! That's probably why my weight has doubled since I came to live here! Even though I'm a growing boy, I'm still not big enough to jump up onto the kitchen worktops. And they looked like they needed investigating! So I came up with a cunning plan - use mum as a ladder! She squeals a bit when I climb her but laughs and calls me a "wee monkey" so I know she doesn't mind really! I went to see the V.E.T. which made me nervous, but he said that I'm super healthy and he's glad I weigh more now. 1.2kg and proud of it! I had my second jag and got my microchip and I was a very brave boy. The vet said I'd be sleepy for a while, but I was so happy to get home to my hairy brothers that I ran about playing like a wild thing for an hour and a half! I love living here, the cuddles are awesome and make me purr like a mad thing! Thank you both for being lovely foster parents and for deciding that this was to be my new home! I have a great family, it's definitely a forever home for me here! Lots of love from Mr Boris Miaowgi (formerly known as Benson).

Hi peeps, it's Rona and Torsa here to let you know our great news. We came into foster care with our brother Harris and sister Skye, who were both adopted fairly quickly. We didn't mind being left as we had each other and also our feline pals Aerial and Allegra to play with. We had some great times playing all day and snuggling up together at night. We had grown really close so we hoped that someone would want to adopt us as a pair. Our new mum had seen us on the adoption page and after a successful home visit came and met us with our soon to be new human sister Aimee. After no time at all, we were reserved and soon heading for our new home. We live in a place which can only be described as kitten heaven, out in the countryside with lots of fields and remote places to explore once we are old enough. The best thing about our new home is our sister Aimee who loves us to bits. She spoils us and plays with us when we're not racing around the house playing catch - we've even started paying the game with real mice!!!!
We also share our home with two dogs who are intrigued by us - but we're not scared of them, even though they're loads bigger than us - we soon showed them who was Top Dog in the house or should we say Top Cats LOL!!!! We're so grateful to our new family for giving us such a wonderful forever home and for Cats Protection for helping us find them - we are both in agreement that they really are the cats pyjamas. Lots of head butts and kisses from Rona and Torsa xxxxx

Hi everyone, its Aerial and Allegra here - two fluff ball sisters who came into foster care as kittens looking for a new home together. Well, just as our foster mum predicted, we were just too cute to be homeless for long. When we were in foster care, we had loads of fun playing together with our two pals Rona and Torsa and loved the feline company, so it was just fantastic when our new family met us, fell in love with us and wanted to adopt the both of us. We weren't in foster care very long and and used all our obvious cuteness to charm our new family who took one look at us and decided that we were the kittens for them! Since then, we have been in kitty heaven - we've been having the time of our lives and have become very much part of the family. As well as our devoted new mum and dad, we also have the best human brother and sister ever - Katherine and Duncan, who make us feel that we're the most special kittens in the whole wide world - which of course we are!!!
It's brilliant being cherished family pets as know that we have a home for life. We are going to grow up with our family and we can't thank our humans enough for picking us!! Lots of purry, furry kisses from Aerial and Allegra xxxxxxxx

Well folks, its me Sweep and after over a year in foster care I have found my forever home. I didn’t have far to go as I have been adopted by my foster mummy and daddy. When it came to the crunch they just couldn’t find it in their hearts to part with me. After an unsettled start in foster care my mummy gave me the time and space I needed to come out of my shell and when I did I was a completely different cat. At first I would not allow you to stroke me or even come near me but I am glad to say that is all behind me and I am now a loving, friendly wee girl. My mummy already had a cat called Molly and we soon became friends. So things have turned out rather good for me and I am so happy as I can finally go outside and feel the air run through my fur and jump up high to try and catch the birdies. I am so thankful to Cats Protection for taking me in as I now have the family I have always wanted. Please, please consider taking a wee cat into your home, it just isn’t complete without one. Love Sweep.

Hi all, it's Tiffany and Tova here. We were born in foster care on May 29th last year. We had two sisters and two brothers and were very happy for the first few weeks of our lives. Our mum, Gracie, was a very good mum - she was only three years old but she was used to having kittens - we were her fourth litter. Then things started to change. When we were 9 weeks old, our two brothers left - our foster mum told us that they had gone to their forever home but we weren't to worry as we would get one of these wonderful forever homes shortly. A long time passed and we had got used to the five of us playing around and having fun. Then one day a very nice lady came and adopted our two sisters - leaving just us and our mum. It suddenly wasn't so much fun any more, we were getting bigger and sometimes we got on each others nerves. The weather turned colder and we were told in a few weeks it would be Christmas. Our foster mum looked so sad and told us the thing she most wanted for Christmas was to see us settled with a loving family. Then one day a fabulous couple came and adopted our mum (who became Tilly). We missed her for a while but we were told that at long last her troubles were behind her and she was now being treated like a wee princess. We were happy for her, but secretly we wished that someone would treat us like princesses. Time passed and still we waited. Our foster mum used to tell us every day what beautiful girls we were - she didn't want us to hear, but one day we overheard her telling one of the other volunteers how sad she was that we were being overlooked time and time again because of our colour. We were shocked as we had always been used to hearing how lovely we were and we hadn't realised that black cats take 40% longer to rehome in rescue organisations than cats of other colours. We had reached 8 months old and we were still in foster care - we heard many times how well our mum and siblings were doing - and then our luck changed. We had heard so many times our foster mum saying that sometimes in life the best things are worth waiting for - and she was right. Our new mum came to meet us with her son, Craig, and it was pretty much love at first sight. We loved them and they loved us. At long last, our foster mum had found a lady who loved us as much as she did, and our foster mum knew straight away. Our foster mum told us many times that she would know instantly who would be "the one"! Our mummy Debbie didn't see "ordinary black cats" - she saw two beautiful girls who were very different in looks and nature once you got to know us. She was prepared to see the beautiful animals underneath and wanted to give us a chance. She had eyes for no one else. We have now settled into our new lives and with this we also got new names - we are now Suckie and Silky - and very pleased we are with them. We are having the time of our lives with our mum and human brother and our time in foster care is now a long distant memory. We can't thank our mum enough for seeing past our colour and for Cats Protection for never giving up on us until we found her.
Fosterer's note: Dear Debbie and Craig, thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving our wonderful "bookends" the loving home they deserved and for seeing past this ridiculous colour prejudice that hinders black animals all over the country. I always had a picture in my mind of the owner I wanted for them and you are everything and more I ever dreamed of. May you have many happy years together.

We are very pleased to advise that Saffie has quickly found her forever home, which she thoroughly deserves. When she arrived there, she promptly hid under the sofa for an hour or two but then decided that it may be alright to come out and explore. Saffie is now a very affectionate and loving member of her new family, sleeps on the bed, and is happy to interact with her new human sister.

Hi folks, Tipsy here. Great news, I have a new mum and my forever home. I just knew whenever I jumped out of foster mum's basket that I could be happy here.
Mum and I are settling into our daily routine - I keep her company and she plays chase the lace with me and I'm looking forward to eventually getting outside and exploring the garden. My new mum says I'm a right bossy boots and it's my way or no way, but I do give in sometimes. I love when we have visitors and I can check them out. I even let them clap me a little. So all is right in our household.
PS Mum says I'm very clever - I agree!

Hello cat people, it's me Bridget. Let me tell you my good news. A lovely family came to meet me and fell in love with me straight away. I am now in my new home where I can carry on my hobby of hair nudging and eating everything that’s put down to me. Thanks to all at Cats Protection for looking after me until my forever home came along. Lots of purrs Bridget.

Hi all, from me Seaforth. Well folks, I have moved on from Cats Protection care and am in my own home now. My name has changed to Hamish and my new mum said if she had to write a list of everything she wanted in a cat then I would tick every box. I am a bog lap cat and if nobody’s at home I chill out on the couch - what more could a cat ask for? Many thanks to Cats Protection for finding me a forever home, lots of purrs, Hamish (Seaforth).

Jamie and Josh here folks to let you all know that we are overjoyed to have been chosen together to live with our new family. We now have two big brothers and a new Mum and Dad who, we are reliably informed, are all 'besotted' with us. Our new Mum has said that we are loving, well-behaved and polite wee boys who have settled in very well with our new family. The family have already expressed their thanks to Cats Protection for the the care and attention that we received whilst in foster care.

Hi everyone, Ivy here. Just a wee note to let you all know that I have a lovely new mum and dad to look after me forever. They are so loving, kind and caring, they are spoiling me and I'm loving it! They have bought me lots of new toys to play with which is great fun. Thank you to Cats Protection for looking after me and thanks to my foster family for finding me my purrfect mum and dad.

Layla, mother of lovely Daisy and Darcy, has found the perfect home with a couple whose little cat passed away last year. She has settled in very well and despite her love of “chase the ball at midnight for at least an hour”, is now very much loved and a huge part of their lives. Obviously she knows this and will no doubt milk the situation for many years to come!

Hi there, it's the lovely wee Sabrina here to let you know I have settled in well at my new home. My Mum and Dad are looking after my every need and I know I have found my forever home. I've been out having a wee nose around the garden but I like my home comforts so I don't go far. I knew Cats Protection would make sure I got a good home and I have landed very lucky on my wee furry paws. Thanks to all who cared for me and got me the purrfect home. Love and Furry Kisses Sabrina xx

Hi everybody it's Shady here to tell you all about my new home. My new Mum had came along to our to our Open Day and when she saw me she knew I was the cat for her and her lovely family. She came along to my foster Mum's house to meet me with her two lovely children and they fell in love with me straight away. They are taking such good care of me and I'm being spoilt rotten. I am so glad they saw me at the open day as I am a wee bit older and sometimes us older girls get passed by. So thank you Cats Protection for finding me my new family and for making me a very happy puss. Love and lots of purrs Shady x x
