Biscuit and Toffee

Biscuit and Toffee are a pair of little yobs who were offered free to a good home in a pet shop ad. They are vocal, very naughty, and had more fleas than you can imagine when they arrived (now dealt with, of course!). They need a disciplined but loving home.

Update, 31 December 2010: Biscuit and Toffee have been rehomed just in time for the new year!

Simba and Jazz - homed in time for Christmas

Simba and Jazz are two lovely, sociable youngsters in need of a new home. They don't necessarily need to be homed together, but must go where they will get a lot of love and attention.

Update, 30 December 2010: we are happy to report that these two lovely young cats found a new home just in time for Christmas.

Goth and Salem

Salem and Goth are a pair of beautiful brothers who were left in a cardboard box! Gentle and trusting, they need a very special home please.

Update, 17 December 2010: we are very happy to report that Goth and Salem have found a lovely new home in Whitstable and are now known as 'The General' (the ginger and white boy) and 'Mr. Pepper'.

Puss Puss - so nice we named her twice

Puss Puss is a delightful and ladylike young female. She is quiet and well behaved but not keen on other cats and would be happiest in a home where she could be the only cat. She would be an ideal companion for an older owner.

We need to rehome her quite urgently as she is occupying a room that is usually used for isolating sick cats, and alas, such cats often come in at short notice.

Update, 8 December 2010: Puss Puss has been homed!

Itchy

Itchy is a gorgeous and very friendly tabby girl, who is being looked after on our behalf by the kind people at Manston Kennels. Itchy is about one year old and has been spayed. She would dearly love a proper home, and a family or person to look after her.



Update, 26 November 2010: this photo of Itchy seems to have touched a few people, as we had several enquiries. We are very pleased to report that she has been homed and is settling in well.

Tigger

Tigger is a lovely boy who was sold to us by his previous owner for £20. He is neutered, good with children, used to dogs, but as he is now growing up, we think he is starting to prefer a slightly quieter life style.





Update, 23 October 2010: Tigger has recently been homed.

Misty

Misty very urgently needs a new home.

She has a loving owner, but one of the older dominant females at her home is making her life a misery. For Misty's own good her owner has reluctantly decided that she needs a new home, where is is not bullied. She is used to children, dogs and other cats, but only if they are all kind and gentle.
Update, 23 October 2010: Lucky Misty has recently found a new home.

Gipsy - was desperate for cuddles

Gipsy is a gorgeous young cat but started to pine and go off her food the moment her sister was rehomed. She desperately needs lot of love and cuddles! She needs a new home very urgently.

Update, 23 October 2010: Gipsy has found a new home and has settled well.

Beauregard and Gaylord

Beauregard and Gaylord were two very tiny scraps of skin and bone when they were found, snotty-nosed and gunky-eyed, in a back lane in Sarre, hissing and spitting at everyone.

>They have been getting steadily better and much friendlier and are doing their best to grow into the silly names we gave them. They deserve a fairytale ending to the rough start they've had in life. If you think you can offer them a home, we would love to hear from you.

Update, 17 September 2010: we are absolutely delighted that Beauregard and Gaylord have found a home; their kind new owners picked them deliberately because these two had had such a bad start in life, and they also adopted Scooby (below), who has been with Cats in Crisis a long time. Hooray!

Scooby - lovecat seeks gourmet chef

Scooby has been living with Mary for about two years. He is gorgeous (there may be an oriental ancestor in the mix) and extremely affectionate, but he simply will not eat cat food. He needs to live with somebody who regularly cooks fresh meat or fish and will share with him; he will not be cheap to feed.

Scooby would be happy as an indoor cat as long as he has plenty of either human or feline company (he is extremely sociable) and the home is fairly spacious.



Update, 17 September 2010: we are absolutely delighted that Scooby has finally been homed, together with Beauregard and Gaylord.

Bubbles and Tinker

Bubbles and Tinker are two of three unwanted kittens someone was offering for sale in the street. Their sibling has been adopted by the neighbour of one of our foster carers, but we are keen to find a home for these two, and many other kittens. If you are thinking of adding some small furry people to your household we'd love to hear from you.



Update, 26 August 2010: we are pleased to report that Bubbles and Tinker have been homed.

Poppy

Poppy is a very friendly and playful ginger and white boy, who likes children. He would love to be adopted by a family who would make him the centre of attention! He has had access to a balcony, where he loved to sit and watch the world go by, but a garden would be even better!



Poppy is a bit over a year (he celebrates his birthday on 19 April). So far he has not found a wet food he likes and will only eat dry food.



Update, 26 August: Poppy has been homed by his owners.

Barley, Nimbus and Ghengis

Barley (ginger), Nimbus (tabby) and Ghengis (black) are from a mixture of litters, and some of their siblings died because they were just too tiny and immature to survive when they came to us. Happily Nimbus's bigger sister found a home straight away and is doing very well.



They are all absolutely gorgeous and we are working very hard to build them up until they are strong enough to make it on their own.



Update, 26 August 2010: Barley, Nimbus, and little Ghengis (who turned out to be a girl and is now called Solar) have all been homed, but we have many more kittens who need to be adopted! The photo of Ghengis/Solar attracted so many clicks from the CatChat site to our blog that we chose her as the poster girl for one of our posters!

Max

Beautiful ginger Max belonged to a very loving family, but he became ill and they simply could not afford the vets bills, nor the cost of the expensive special food that he is likely to need, so Max was handed over to us for rehoming.



Max needs a very special person, who will give him a lot of love and affection, and make sure that he stays an indoor cat. He was at the vets for over a week with a serious infection and blockage of the bladder. He is now clear but must stay on a strict diet with prescription food, so he cannot go out or be where there are other cats on ordinary cat food.



If a new owner would be able to pick up the cost of his on-going treatment, that would be wonderful. But if the right person and home came along but they couldn't afford all the expense involved, we might be able to continue supporting him.



Max is a fabulous cat and worthy of every effort to find him a new home and the chance of a new life. He needs a new home very urgently.



Update, 18 July: we've found a great new home for Max, and it's all going well so far! Thank you (you know who you are!) for taking on a special needs cat.

Jack

Jack is the last of a litter and his owner couldn't find anyone to take him, so here he is with Cats in Crisis. Jack is a great little character, very affectionate and amusing. He is also very greedy!



Update, 5 July 2010: we are pleased to report that Jack has found a home.

Posh and Becks

Brother & sister, ginger Becks and black & white Posh live up to their namesakes. Posh gives the impression of being rather aloof and stand-offish, but when you insist on petting and stroking her she seems to enjoy it - for a while, then off to do her own thing.


Becks however is everyone's friend. He loves a game of footie with the other kids, is a great poser and very affectionate. They must go together.



Update, 5 July 2010: Posh and Becks have found a new home.

Seth - personal assistant required

Gorgeous Seth is nearly a year old, and was found advertised 'free to a good home' in a local petshop. He is very friendly and loving, but as he is long-haired he needs to go to someone with time to groom him.

Update, 7 June 2010: we are pleased to report that Seth has found a new home!

A letter from Carl and Beau

Beau, who is blind, was featured as a top cat on CatChat. He struck it lucky a few weeks ago:
Dear Mary,
Thank you so much for your letter, thought I'd let you know how Beau is doing and send some photos.

I was amazed how quickly Beau found his feet after you left, he soon came out from his hidey hole under the kitchen worktop, had some food and began to explore. Initially the traffic noise spooked him a little but he soon became used to that.

Beau has become my little shadow really, he follows me from room to room, sits with me on the sofa and sleeps on the bed at night. He is happy so long as he can feel my presence. I'm pleased to say he has now mastered the staircase which was a major obstacle in the first fortnight and when I'm out at work he goes up there and sleeps.

Play time has become very important to Beau, his hunter instincts are very alive and he now has several toys which he stalks and chases. He loves to grab my hand and wrist and bite and chew me in a playful way. I think he must become frustrated being inside all of the time and he will now often lay on the floor and roll on his back, which is his sign to me that he wants to play.

His blindness never seems to hinder him in any way and he knows the flat inside out now. He is very curious and confident and I would be confident that if I ever were to own a house with a garden he would be allowed to wander supervised and enjoy the outside (probably for the first time).

Thank you so much for bringing Beau here, he really is a wonderful little character and he is well loved also by my girlfriend and my parents and all who come to visit. (He loves visitors by the way and so long as he knows I'm here as well is something of a showoff!)

Beau has been registered and checked over at the vets surgery in Meopham and has also been insured with Sainsbury's pet insurance, hopefully I'll never have to use it!

Thank you once again.

Kind regards,

Carl and Beau.

Freckle and Zulu - two kittens, only seven legs

Freckle & Zulu are brother and sister who were trapped when very tiny with their mother. All were living rough in a dirty lock up garage and Cats in Crisis volunteers were able to trap them late one night in January after many failed attempts. Their mum eventually had to be put to sleep as she had serious wounds to her upper body that just wouldn't heal.

Little Zulu had four legs but only three feet; he has recently had his crippled leg amputated and is doing much better as it doesn't get in the way any more.

Freckle and Zulu are very sweet, gentle, but extremely nervous little babes who need a very quiet indoor home with understanding owners.

Update, 15 May: We are thrilled to report that Freckle and Zulu have found a lovely new home.
