Overlooked Cats: Durham

Hallo there, my name is Miss Lulah. I am a sleek, now neutered, black house panthress and I have been looking for a home and waiting for my person for almost 2 years now. I was rescued from the streets in February of 2022, having been left behind when my 'owners' moved away. Myself and another unneutered female soon became the focus of the neighbourhood tom cat and started having babies. Having lived on the street and raised my babies there, I have very little trust in people; so I need a patient person; who is willing to work with me, very slowly, but also to accept me for who I am. I play with my temporary guardians and will allow strokes, I also like to help with admin work by sitting on a knee and casting my knowing eye over the emails. I do hide away when visitors arrive, so need a quiet home, with no pets or children, just one or two patient people for me to learn to trust and love. If you could be my Angel, please get in touch and find out if we could be a match made in heaven.

Hello! I'm Christopher. I'm a handsome, 2 year old, black and white lad. I arrived at the rescue as a stray and although I was friendly, I could be prone to the odd swipe. I was neutered and microchipped and that calmed me down a lot. I can still swipe occasionally though so, I think I'd be best in a home with no children. I'm not sure about living with a dog but as I can be a bit pushy with other cats, I'd be best as an only cat. I have loads of energy and am very playful so I'd be looking for a garden to get out into to use up my energy. If you have room in your heart and home for a handsome, friendly, full of beans boy, please get in touch soon?

Hello, my name is Nixon. I'm a handsome, chunky chap of around four years old, with a black and white coat. I came into rescue as a stray cat and sadly I can't tell you about my life beforehand - but it's clear that I've had a tough time. I'm very insecure and this can show as grumbling and aggression, so I'm looking for a quiet home with an experienced owner who understands cat behaviour and will offer me the time and patience I need to gain confidence and begin to feel safe. At heart I am just a very large, playful kitten who loves toys and catnip, and I have the capacity to flourish in a peaceful permanent home with the right human friend. I have been neutered. I'm not keen on older dominant felines but I could potentially live alongside a placid younger cat. If you think that you could offer me the chance to become a contented furry companion in a caring forever home, then please get in touch.

Well hello there, we are the P's a group of 4 older kittens around a year old and we are looking for a couple of patient owners, who are happy to watch us blossom slowly. You see, we arrived as older kittens who weren't used to humans, in the time we have been her Palmer (left), has learnt to enjoy a stroke and while the rest of us are still unsure about being touched we are far more comfortable now. What we need to help us is to find a couple of homes, preferably in pairs, with experienced people who will give us time to settle in and show our cuddly sides. We would like a home with a catio of enclosed garden to explore, once we are fully bonded with our guardians. We are neutered and ready and waiting to be the chosen ones, could you help us out with that?

Hello, I am Dexie and I am a young, neutered, tabby girl of about 2 years old. Now I am looking for a very special human who understands timid cats and would be willing to show me some care and patience. I came to the rescue as part of a bunch of unwanted kittens. My brothers and sisters were the friendliest of cats and were adopted but I was scared and timid and have been in rescue for almost my whole life. The rescue people are used to seeing just my bum as I hide! I think I would like to make friends with someone but I'm just so scared. If one of the rescuers manages to catch me and put me in a kennel and spend time stroking and talking to me, I do get used to it, but when released back into a room I go back to hiding. I would like a patient human who will work with me and will understand that I may not ever be a lap cat. I might be ok with another cat if they are friendly - they might even give me confidence. I had to have some dental work done and I actually have no teeth now, but I recovered well and just like softer food. I know I might be a hard 'sell' to most but hopefully there is a gentle angel in human form that might be able to help.

Hello, my name is Peggy. I'm a little, semi long haired, tabby girl who's 16 months old. I've been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and have also been regularly treated for fleas and worms. I'm a bit of a nervous girl but I do enjoy strokes and if you get to the point of giving me belly rubs, well then I really love you! I think I'd benefit from going to my new home with another kitten or cat or if my new home already had an existing cat, I think that would boost my confidence. I am currently being fostered with Pudding, we're best friends and get on so well, so if you thought you might have room for 2 cats, Pudding would love a home too. I'm looking for an indoor home please with no dogs or children. Do you think you might be able to help me find my happy ever after?

Hello there, my name's Josey and I'm a little, black and white girl. I'm neutered and am 1 year old. I've got lots of energy and as a result love to play! One of my favourite games of the moment is chasing after balls of paper, catching them and shredding them! I was born in a shed but luckily Willows found my sister and me in time to save us becoming feral. We've both had intensive handling in separate foster homes to build up our confidence and trust in humans., she was bolder than me and has been homed. I am and probably will always be a bit nervous and timid and so, I'm looking for a home with only one or two humans who are patient and won't expect too much of me to start with. I am nosey and will learn to trust kind, quiet people. I would find children too stressful and no dogs please but I could perhaps live with another cat. I know it's a lot to ask but if you think you could find it in your heart to offer me a loving forever home, please get in touch with the rescue to have a chat with them about giving me a home?

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.

I've been waiting over a year... Please pick me! 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.

I've been waiting over a year... Please pick me! 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.

I've been waiting over a year... Please pick 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.

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?
