Overlooked Cats: Durham

Hello, my name is Stella. I'm a petite youngster of about ten months old, with a short-haired black coat, and I'm looking for a loving permanent home. Having been born into a feral colony and missing out on early contact with humans I'm a shy and skittish girl at the moment, so I'm looking for an experienced cat owner who can offer me a calm and peaceful home. I'll need patience, love, and the space to gain confidence at my own pace so that I can mature into a relaxed and contented kitty in my forever home. I'm looking for an indoor-only home, or one with a secure catio or cat proofed garden, and a home without young children or dogs will suit me best. I could share my home with other cats. I am spayed, microchipped and vaccinated, and have been given a clean bill of health. Do you think that you could offer me the quiet and caring home I need? Please get in touch!

Hello, my name's Gus and I'm a tabby and white boy, looking for a home where I'll be given the time and space to get to know you and learn to love you. I'm a big lad, I'm 1 year old, I've been neutered, chipped, vaccinated and am in good health. Now, I'm a bit nervous around people but I will come round with a bit of time and love and I've heard that it can be very rewarding when a cat like me builds a bond and learns to trust their human. I'm a bit of a loner but I have lived with other cats and as long as it's the right cat, I think I'd get comfort from being around another cat and knowing it was there. I'd rather not live with any dogs please. I'm happiest not living with children, I think I might be a bit scared of them. I'm looking for an indoor home but I'd be happy if there was a catio or a cat proofed garden in my new home too. If you think you might be the special human this tabby and white boy is looking for, please get in touch?

Good day to you; my name is Reese. I came in with a few other cats when we were found in a feral colony, I have been neutered and think that I could do this warm home lark, with people who love me just as I am. I am a handsome tabby and white boy, who would love to find a new home with another cat, if you had a fab feline who could teach me the ways of the housecat or could see your way to adopting one of my friends too. I have a sweet nature and am slowly showing it to my carers here, in the right home and with plenty of patience who knows how far I will go. I would need to be an indoor cat until we are fully bonded and then would like a little potter in a safe space if you have one, in the meantime a sunny and warm spot to watch the world go by would be just perfect. Please get in touch if you think i could be the one for you.

Hello, my name is Harper. I'm a very handsome grey and white chap who came into rescue, along with a number of other cats, from a feral colony. Despite such a huge change in my circumstances I've begun to understand that the humans around me tend to bring me good things (like my dinner) and aren't as scary as I first thought. I'm a sweet natured boy who needs an experienced and patient human friend who can offer me not only a caring permanent home, but all the time and understanding I'll need as I continue to gain confidence at my own pace. I love the company of other cats and am looking for a home to share with at least one other friendly feline. I'll need to be kept indoors until I've fully bonded with my new owner, but eventually I'd enjoy the opportunity to spend time sunning myself in a safe outdoor space too. I have been neutered. If you think that you could offer me the loving forever home I deserve, please get in touch.

Hello there, my name is Morgan and I am on the hunt for a fabled forever home. I was rescued from a feral colony and have come to enjoy the lovely things that humans come armed with to try and become my friend. I am showing my sweet nature now and think that I am ready to find my people. I would be best suited to a home with another cat, be that one of my friends from the rescue or an existing cat, who can show me that people can be fun. I am looking for an indoor home at first until I have fully bonded with my guardian; then I would like the chance to find a sunny spot for napping in a safe space. Any potential guardians out there will need to be patient, it will take time and some lovely treats for me to get to know and love you. If you think that I could be the cat for you please get in touch and find out more about me.

Hello, my name is Skye; I would like to tell you all about me in the hope that I find my forever home. I was picked up as part of a feral colony but have become more used to people and I quite like the lovely things I get when they are nearby. I am a sweet natured lass who just needs someone to take a chance and work with me to help me blossom. I love the other cats here and think if you already had a cat I would be a great feline friend given proper introductions, if not and you are in a position to take on two cats, any of my friends from the rescue would be happy to have a forever home too. I will need to be an indoor cat until I am fully comfortable and settled in; I have enjoyed time in the sunny catio here; in fact, a forever home with a catio would be like a lottery win for me! I have been neutered and am ready to meet you; please say you will give it plenty of thought.

Good day to you; I am hoping that you might be able to help me find my new guardian; I am looking for a home with no other pets you see; I lived with another cat before but it made me very grumpy and now that I am on my own I am much happier. The volunteers are happy to see my lovely personality begin to shine through. I am a mature gent who likes to keep you company, I would also love the chance to go outside for a little wander and if you had a safe garden for me I would be over the moon. I have a lovely sleek black coat, and I am neutered to boot, all in all I am just about perfect; to find out more about me and see if we could be a purr-fect match please get in touch.

Hello, I'm Mr Gently. I'm a neutered tabby boy who was living on the streets for over 8 years. I had a home of my own once, it must have been a very quiet one. I’m very shy and spooked by any noises and movement. I found some nice humans in the neighbourhood who fed me and made a shelter. One of them gained my trust and called Willows for help. My Willows fosterer made me a hidey-camp and she waited, and waited…and waited. Each day she talked to me gently, left food, refreshed my water and cleaned my litter box. I have come to trust her and I love chin and tummy tickles. I will unfurl and purr and let her do it non-stop...till her arm and fingers ache. I finally trust her enough to sit beside her on the sofa close enough she can stroke me. I give head bumps for more attention and she says I melt her heart. I am a gentle soul - I would never lash out; instead I run away and hide if I’m scared. I'm looking for a quiet home with a loving, patient owner, without children or pets, who has plenty of spare time. Deep down I’m lonely and want company, it’s just I find it so very hard to trust. I want someone who won't mind that I will hide at the slightest noise, and that I might take weeks before I even show myself enough for you to touch me. It'll be best to let me settle in one room first, gain your trust before letting me into the next room and so on. But for now I am good, I’m just preparing you for future. It may be a lot of effort, but the reward will be 1000-fold when you realise you’ve given me a new life and I unfurl for the first time for you. When I quietly purr for the first time, when I lick your hand for the first time. And each little baby step I take towards trusting you.

Hello, my name is Scarlett. I’m a beautiful lady looking for a loving home. I came into rescue with my kittens and they have all found homes. I didn’t have a great start in life and I will need patient humans that will give me time to grow in confidence. I would like an adult only home with experienced cat owners who will work with me to be part of the family. I am female and neutered. If you think you have room in your heart and home then please do get in touch.

I've been waiting over a year... Please pick me! Hello, my name's Deborah. I'm a pretty little female cat with a sleek black coat and the greenest of eyes. I've not had the best start to life, I was born into a feral life and am really timid. I'm 2 years old though and given time and patience, I will make someone a wonderful friend. I am already able to be stroked by the staff here if they're patient with me. I can sometimes lash out because I'm scared, so a home with no children or older children would be best. I don't like dogs but I might be okay with a gentle male cat in the family. I'm looking for someone who's experienced with cats and who can help me learn to trust humans and learn how to love and be loved. I'm looking for an indoor home for now but given time, that might change. I've been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. People think I'm grumpy but I'm just misunderstood! Could you be my special person who can see beyond the front I put on and can see the loving cat I could be?

We've been waiting over a year... Please pick us! Good day, we are Amber & Jade a pair of young ladies looking for a home. We are beautiful girls but we are far from tame; we can be stroked, but it is clear that we don't enjoy being touched. The hope is that we can find a loving home, with an experienced human, who is willing to work with us and take the time to gain our trust. We are going to need lots of time and dedication to come around fully. We are neutered and looking for an adult only home. We understand that it is a big ask, but are sure that the right home is out there somewhere, with someone who will understand what a joy it is to finally see cats like us blossom; are you that person, we certainly hope so?

I've been waiting over a year... Please pick me! Hello! My name’s Smudge and I’m a gorgeous, grey and white, neutered girl. I’m looking for a rather special home because of my special needs. I arrived in care after being in some kind of accident or trauma, I’m keeping what actually happened to myself! I was very ill when I came in but after some treatment, needing my tail amputated and rehabilitation, I’ve got full mobility and am very playful. I can run and play and chase after toys! I’m incontinent though and am hoping to find someone experienced at expressing bladders and bowels. If my home had tiled floors, or areas that were easily cleaned, that would be so helpful too. I’d like access to a safe outdoor space please. I really don’t like other cats, so would prefer to be your only cat please. Would you have the home and love that I’m looking for?
