DARLINGTON CAT SHELTER APPEALS FOR MORE ADOPTERS

Socks

A Darlington cat shelter is appealing for more people to adopt its cats, as it has reached capacity.

The RSPCA Cat Hub is unable take in any more cats rescued by RSPCA Inspectors until some find a new home.

According to Sophie Moran-Barker, RSPCA Cat Hub Rehoming Co-ordinator, the cost of living crisis has slowed down the number of adoptions from the cat shelter.  She says: “The rising cost of living and of keeping a pet is making people think twice about adopting a cat, but abused, neglected and abandoned cats are still being rescued by the RSPCA on a daily basis. 

“We presently have 27 cats looking for a new home and are appealing to anyone who is considering adopting a cat to get in touch with us now.”

Here are just some of the cats available for rehoming at the RSPCA Cat Hub.  You can read more about them at www.cathub.co.uk

Tom is an adult indoor cat, 6 – 7 years old, who is looking for a new home with no other pets.  He was very shy and withdrawn when he first came into the Cat Hub, but is now much more confident and loving and would appreciate a household with children 8 years and older.

Maple is a two year old female cat.  She does not get on with other cats or dogs, so Maple is looking for pet free home.  She can be a bit aloof, but is making an effort to be more friendly in the Cat Hub, but she is looking for owners in an adult only household who understand she may not want to be handled much.  She would like outdoor access.

Eight year old female tabby cat Elsa was signed over to the RSPCA along with 15  year old black and white male cat Dave.  Both cats would like access to the outdoors and can be rehomed together or separately. Dave is very friendly and outgoing while Elsa is still little shy in the cattery.  Both will be fine in a household with children.

Unfortunately Felix was returned to the Cat Hub after three years as his owner no longer has time for him. He is an indoor cat who is looking for a home with no other cats.  He was bit shy when he came into the cattery, but is getting more confident every day and looking forward to finding a new adult only home.

Socks is a friendly five to six years old ginger male cat.  He is looking for an adult only home with no other animals and would like access to the outdoors.

George is a good-looking, three – four year old, male tabby cat who was signed over to the RSPCA. He was a stray cat, initially taken in by one of our adopters, but he did not get on with her cats. George is a little shy in the cattery, so he is looking for an experienced cat owner in a household with older children and no other cats. He would like access to the outside.

Ginger and white Georgina is still slightly nervous in the cattery, but enjoys her food and is becoming more friendly! She is a five year old female cat who was signed over to the RSPCA.  She has lived with other cats before and been outdoors and is looking for an adult only home.
