'Top Cats' Seeking Homes - Essex

Suzy 2 and a half year old black neutered cat looking for a patient home in Essex SUZY at Ann & Bill's Cat and Kitten Rescue, Hornchurch. (Can Rehome to Hornchurch, Romford, Dagenham, Rainham, Barking, Essex)
>> Shy lass looking for a quiet home filled with love

>> I have been in rescue for over a year
Hello, I am Suzy; I am a lovely black, neutered cat and am around two and a half years old. I am a shy lass and get very nervous with new people, so a patient and understanding human is a must. I do not like being picked up at all, but i do love treats and to play. I am friendly with the staff here, and enjoy them stroking me as long as they do not make any sudden movements. I will happily live with other cats but I am not sure whether I would like dogs or children. If I get stressed I will let you know by biting the fur on my back. If you think you have what it takes to bring me out of my shell then do get in touch, purr-lease

black cat need home essex LOTTY at BROMLEY & DISTRICT CAT RESCUE - (Can Rehome to Can Rehome to Kent, Greater London, Essex and Surrey)
>> Lottie needs Love and Security...

Hi there - my name is Lotty, and I am around 2 and a bit years old. I've spent a lot of time at the rescue shelter waiting for someone to come and sweep me off my paws, but it hasn't happened yet. I've heard some say, that people prefer other coloured cats to black cats… How can that be? I thought I was just as good as other cats. The only thing I am not so good at just yet is confidence: I am shy until I get to know and trust you - but this will improve when I have love and security! I'd like to go to a home which is away from busy roads, and where there may be other young feline company for me. I will be fine with older, responsible children too. Please would you consider adopting me? Lotty xx
To make an enquiry, please call: 0208 464 6035 or mobile: 07788 627130, or Email: bromleyrescuecats@gmail.com and please mention you saw this notice on Cat Chat, thank you!
beautiful tabby cat looking for an essex home SHADOW at RSPCA Essex, Havering & Harold Hill, Romford (Can rehome in: Clacton, Hornchurch, Upminster & Romford)
>>Sweet, middle-aged lady looking for a chilled out home

Hi! My name is Shadow. I'm eight years old and looking for my forever home. I'm only a tiny lady so I have to make up for lack of size with my fab personality. I love a spot of human company and a chin tickle in front of the telly. I wouldn't say I was a lap cat though; sofas are far less likely to disturb my snooze in order to get a cuppa! If you'd like a friendly, laid back feline then I'm the lady for you!

Jane black and white 4 year old neutered female looking for a patient special home in Essex JANE at Ann & Bill's Cat and Kitten Rescue, Hornchurch. (Can Rehome to Hornchurch, Romford, Dagenham, Rainham, Barking & Essex)
>> Shy cat looking for an understanding human

Hello I am Jane and I am a beautiful 4 year old black and white, neutered, lass. I have been at the rescue for two years now because I am a very, very shy girl and it will take a special person to understand that I will need time to get to know them and come out of my shell a little. I will let them stroke me now but I am still nervous. I would love to find a patient home with another cat, who could maybe help me, but definitely no dogs or children. If you understand my shyness and have the patience to work with me please, please get in touch.

Tortoiseshell female cat needs home Essex ANNIE at National Animal Welfare Trust – Thurrock Branch, Greys
>> Beautiful, playful young female

Hello, my name is Annie. I'm an utterly gorgeous little lady of about one year old, with a short-haired tortoiseshell and white coat. When not posing obligingly for the camera, I can usually be found chasing my toys or poking my nose into anything interesting that's going on. I have my fuss-loving moments, too, and am an all-round thoroughly lovely feline! I'm searching for a permanent loving home with plenty of attention (on my own terms, of course!), games and kindness. I am spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, have had worm and flea control treatment, and will be homed with four weeks free insurance cover. Come and meet me!
To make an enquiry about Annie, please call: 01375 376682 or Email: brian.gloria@virginmedia.com, and please mention you saw this notice on Cat Chat, thank you!
black and white cat needs an essex home TILLY at Clacton Animal Aid, Little Clacton. (Can rehome to: N.E. Essex and S.E. Suffolk)
>>Long-term resident in a bid for freedom

Hi there! I'm Tilly. I'm three years old and neutered. I'm no stranger to the rescue as I was homed here when I was little but my circumstances changed and now I'm back. This time round I've been stuck here for two years! In that time I've friends with all the human staff. They just love my cheeky character. I'm really playful and love a game of pokey-paw and fishing for catnip fishies. I don't mind a bit of fuss either but I'll let you know if I've had enough. For that reason I don't think I'd like to live with children or other cats but I could probably hold my own against a dog! Do I sound like the girl for you? Get in touch today! x

Black and white friendly male cat looking for a home in the Essex area TEDDY at Caring For Animals 2001, Thurrock, Essex. (Can Rehome to Ockendon, Greys, Upminster, Hornchurch & Rainham)
>> He just wants to be your Teddy bear!

Zzzz, hmm? what? Ooh hello, do excuse me....I was just resting my eyes! The name's Teddy, you can call me Teddy Bear if you like, I've been told I'm as cuddly as one and quite frankly if I'm going to get cuddles, food and a nice cosy warm house...you can call me anything you want! I'm about 10 years old but a spritely 10 years as I still enjoy a good old play. I've been living in a purpose built summer house but it's getting a tad chilly now and I'd really love nothing better than a cosy home to curl up and rest my eyes. I'd like to be your only pet, not too keen on sharing my home and special person but most of all I really long for someone to love me...any takers?

Black female cat needs home Essex BESSIE at Pussycat Lodge Trust, Brentwood. (Can Rehome to Barking, Brentwood, Deagenham, Havering & Redbridge)
>> Affectionate lady deserves a loving home

Hello there - I'll give you my full attention in just a moment, once I've thoroughly inspected the contents of this handbag... Okay, no cat treats in there. My name's Bessie, and I'm a delightful black short-haired lady who, when not too preoccupied with the search for tasty snacks, is looking for a permanent loving home. I came into rescue after being found homeless and so my rescuers don't know what my history is, but they have concluded that it must have involved a few too many large meals as I'm in need of a bit of help to lose some excess weight! I'm a lovely lady who enjoys a good fuss, and I'll make an affectionate and rewarding companion for my new human friend - in return, I'll benefit from a loving home in which my weight will be sensibly managed. I have been spayed and vaccinated, and I get on with other friendly cats. If you think that you may be able to offer me a caring forever home, I'd love to meet you!
To make an enquiry about Bessie, please call: 01277 811904 or Email: info@pussycatlodge.co.uk, and please mention you saw this notice on Cat Chat, thank you!
two friendly rescue cats need home london or essex WILLOW & WANDA at Bromley & District Cat Rescue. (Can Rehome to London, Essex, Surrey & Kent)
>> Super-friendly, playful pair, devoted to each other

Hello, I'm Willow, (the handsome cream coloured boy with tabby points), and I'm looking for a home full of love and fun for me and Wanda, who is my best friend in all the world. We both love the same things: cuddles, fuss, playing, chasing, more cuddles.. and each other! They say I'm a pedigree cross, and I have striking pale blue eyes. Wanda is a real cutie, the lady at the rescue says she's like a little fluffy dumpling, and she loves being picked up and snuggled. We're both under two years old, and neutered. Me and Wanda are devoted to each other, and can't wait for a home of our own to play chase in! If your life lacks a couple of furry live wires, please ring up about us!
To ask about the gorgeous Willow & Wanda, please call: 0208 464 6035 or mobile: 07788 627130 or Email: bromleyrescuecats@gmail.com, and please mention you saw them on Cat Chat, thank you!
Tabby male cat needs home in Essex ZIG at Crescent Cat Rescue, Tendring. (Can rehome to: Tendring, Walton-on-the-Naze, Brightlingsea & Harwich)
>> He's just a country boy at heart.

Hello, I'm Zig and I'm a big and lovable neutered boy, if you don't mind me saying so myself. I'm between 4 and 5 years old now and I think I'm quite a good looking guy in my tabby coat. When I first came here (that's a while ago now when I was with my sister) I didn't like living in a pen so they let me spend most of my time in the garden. I've taken charge of it now - I supervise the other cats and guide the visitors down to the pens. But, so saying, I think I've settled down enough now to want to live in a proper home, like other cats. I'll always want to go outside a lot, though, so I'll need my own entrance (a cat flap) so I can come and go as I please. I don't think I'd like to live on an estate because I love the countryside so much - a semi-rural garden would be great! I'd probably have to be the only cat in the household because I can be bossy at times and I'm not used to being around dogs or children. So, can you give me my first proper home (and garden, of course)?
To make an enquiry about Zig, please call: 01255 861309 or Email: carole@crescentcatrescue.org.uk, and please mention you saw this notice on Cat Chat, thank you!
Male and female black and white cats need home Essex ALICE & SHANE at Clacton Animal Aid (rehoming to N.E. Essex and S.E.Suffolk
>> Affectionate young couple

Hello, my name is Shane - I'm the adorable little chap on the left, enjoying a belly rub. On the right is my very best friend Alice, and we're looking for a permanent home together. We're both about ten months old with black and white coats; both neutered and microchipped, and both absolutely lovely - but we've spent almost all of our young lives in rescue and we'd dearly love to find a caring home of our very own! I'm a confident and inquisitive softy who adores fuss; Alice is also affectionate but a little bit shyer than I am, and so a calm home without young children will suit us best. We are fine with other friendly cats, but have never met a dog! We really deserve a chance to enjoy the rest of our kittenhood, and all of our adulthood, in a loving home - if you think that you might be able share yours with us, why not come and meet us?
To make an enquiry about Alice & Shane, please call: 01255 860062 (calls can be taken daily from 10.00 am - 5.00 pm), and please mention you saw this notice on Cat Chat, thank you!

Indoor Cats
Want a cat, but live in a flat? Some cats can be better suited to the indoor life: Cats with F.I.V., deaf cats, blind cats, nervous or elderly cats, or simply cats who have previously been used to living indoors.

Could you Foster?
Many rescues rely on volunteer fostererers to care for cats and kittens 'between homes'. Do you have some time and TLC to spare?
