Handsome fella, Orson!

A beautiful 4.5yr old Border Collie who came to us due to his owner passing away, and nobody in the family could keep him.

He’s a lovely, friendly boy! He’s great with people, been around children, and has lived with 7 other dogs! We actually had his mum and his older brother here!
Orson has also passed our cat test, he showed an interest but soon lost the interest when the cat told him off!

His number one love is playing ball! He’s been living on a farm (but wasn’t a working dog), and hasn’t really been in the house the house before… he’s been used to lots of space and will need plenty of exercise!

Dream!

She’s a 6yr old retired racing Greyhound who was rehomed from us, but returned around 6 months ago!

She’s a quiet, calm girls who likes a fuss and her home comforts!!

Dream can be reactive to other dogs, and would need to be the only dog in the home. No cats.

She would also be better in a home without young children - she like a simple, quiet life!

Handsome boys!

These boys all came to us as adult Tom cats for a variety of reasons, some of them were typical ‘lads’ in their previous situations… but they’re now reformed characters after being neutered 🤣

Sadly they’re all being overlooked due to the influx of kittens and young mums..!

All of them are friendly, and they would be great additions to the home! Some are able to live with other cats… check the website for further info.

We’ve got;

Ginger/white - Finn.
Black - Compton
Black/White - George
Black/White - Blaze
Black/White - Sox
Ginger - Gareth

Lovely boy Henry found himself with us due to his previous owner passing away 😞.

He’s 8.5yrs old.. but still has plenty of energy!

He’s good with people, and gets along with other dogs well!

As he’s a a Labrador - he loves his food, and is currently a little overweight! However he loves his exercise too!

Henry can be strong on his walks, and does pull!

Could you be Henry’s new family? Enquiries via our online enquiry form only.

Felicity!

She is around 4yrs old and has been with us for almost 2yrs!!

She was originally a stray with kittens… but her kittens all disappeared. Felicity was a worried cat, but she has come on in leaps and bounds since being with us! She is now more than happy to come into the office and wander around the cattery, or even sit close to you on the sofa… however she still doesn’t want to be touched and will run if she thinks that that’s your intention!!

We are hopeful that once she is settled into a home with one on one attention, she will bond with her people and become even more confident around them. She wouldn’t be suitable to live with children purely due to her being timid.

Felicity loves being outside in our cat gardens, and would need a home where she has access to a nice area to go out in - she can often be found watching what’s going on around her, from a garden shelf!

She also gets along great with other cats, and has had many friends over the couple of years that she’s been with us. She would possibly be okay with a friendly dog that’s used to cats.

Penny!

Penny is a lovely 2-3yr old Lurcher who has been with us for over 6 months now! Sadly she doesn’t get many people asking after her.

She’s a sweet natured dog, who loves to be around people and have lots of company - she can be quite upset when she’s alone, but lights up when she’s around people. She wouldn’t do well in a home where she’s being left a lot.

Penny can be okay with some other dogs, but can react at others… she would be better suited to being the only dog for the time being, until she feels more comfortable and relaxed. She’s not good with cats etc.

She is very thin, even for a Lurcher, she has seen a vet and we are trying to get her to put weight on, but sadly she sometimes refuses to eat.
