Poppy was homed in February 2012

Name: Poppy / Sex: Female / Age: 1 year / Colour: Grey / Good with other cats?: Yes / Good with children?: Yes

Poppy hasn’t been with her current people for very long, but the cat who has lived there for much longer has made it clear to Poppy that she just isn’t wanted! This is such a shame as the people just love her and don’t actually want to part with her. They have had her spayed and vaccinated, this not having been done by the people who had her before. Poppy is a really pretty, friendly, good-natured little cat and would make a wonderful addition to a family. She’s only about a year old and deserves to have many years of love and stability ahead of her.

Cobbie was homed in February 2012

Name: Cobbie / Sex: Male / Age: 10 months / Colour: Tabby and white / Good with other cats?: Yes / Good with children?: Yes

Cobbie’s owner is leaving Scotland soon and needs to find a home for him. Although he isn’t yet in our care, our pens and foster homes being full, I have met Cobbie and found him to be a friendly and very good-natured boy. The only problem was getting him to keep still long enough to get some decent photographs! He has already been neutered, but we have yet to get him inoculated. Only ten months old, Cobbie is really still a kitten. He hasn’t been getting out much, but would enjoy access to a garden or other safe outdoor area once settled. Being pretty laid back, Cobbie could be homed with children. He is currently in a house with a dog, but would probably prefer not to be.

Norman was homed in January 2012

Age: 4 1/2 months / Sex: male / Colour: black & black / Good with other cats?: yes / Good with children?: older children / Date added: 2nd August 2011

His story: Norman was living with his mother and two sisters, Nessie and Naomi, in a garden in Kilmarnock, being cared for by some really nice people. He is now about four and a half months old and is fully vaccinated. Norman and his sisters were shy at first, and still are with strangers, but he just loves to be petted and sit on my knee for a cuddle. We would prefer him to go to a home with a garden to explore and it would be great if there was another resident cat to play with. He could certainly be homed with older children (who don’t make the mad noises that young children make!)

Freddy was homed in January 2012

Age: 10 months / Sex: male / Colour: black & white Good with other cats?:yes / Good with children?:yes / Date added:2nd August 2011

His story:
Freddy was one of five kittens taken from a caravan park near Turnberry. We caught all the adults and had them neutered and spayed, leaving them in the care of the site caretaker, an elderly man  who is, without doubt, their best friend there. Understandably, Freddy was so shy when I first brought him and his sisters into our care but he is now an extremely soft, soppy, good natured boy who loves to lie on his back and get his tummy rubbed! Having said that, he is initially shy with people he doesn’t know and will need someone who understands that all he needs is a bit of time to settle and feel safe. Although very gentle, it would be best from his point of view to have a home without very young children. He really can strike some wonderful poses, with one half of his body on one piece of structure or equipment and his top half draped over another. Although only about ten months old, Freddy is a big boy – much bigger than his sisters. He has been neutered, of course, and is fully vaccinated. Access to a safe outdoor area is essential, once settled.
