Overlooked Cats: Durham

Hi I am Lexi and I'm a neutered girl of 10 years old, and I've been in rescue a few weeks now. I was overwhelmed by rescue at first but I've started to settle in and take an interest in things. I've been avoiding being stroked or fussed here because I've been afraid but I was an affectionate and gentle girl before. This has rather shaken me to be homeless at 10! I should be able to trust again in the right home. I would love to be your only pet and would love some access to outdoors. A middle-aged girl has got to keep fit! Please say you will have a think at helping me settle down by giving me a loving forever home.

Hello, I'm Bramble and I'm a little, black, short haired cat, I'm around 5 years old and have been neutered. I'm a gentle, kind chap but a bit on the timid side. I've been learning to trust while in the rescue and I've discovered that I adore being stroked! I started off hiding in my den when I first arrived but with patience and care, I now jump up on a lap to ask for love and I've even been bold enough to ask for more if I feel I'm not getting enough! I'm looking for someone patient and kind, someone who will show me understanding and go at my pace so that I can flourish. I think I'd be best in a quiet, adult only home. Maybe with a maximum of 2 adults and no other pets. Once I've settled in with you, I think that I might want a garden to have an explore of on fine days. They call me a tiny treasure here, if you think that I could be your tiny treasure, please get in touch?

Hello, my name is Hercules. I'm a very large, gorgeous black and white boy in search of a loving home of my very own. I enjoy human company and affection, and a life filled with gentle strokes would suit me fine. I need a home in which I am the only pet, as I dislike both dogs and other cats. The presence of other felines upsets me so much that I can display some redirected aggression as a result of my distress. A rural home would be perfect for me, so that I can have safe outdoor access away from traffic and explore my surroundings happily. I have been neutered. If you think that a large handsome chap like me could be your ideal furry companion then please get in touch!

I've been waiting over a year... Please pick me! How do you do? My name is Squid. I am a 2 year old lass and I have been here for almost 2 years now after arriving as a heavily pregnant lass. I had 4 kittens, who I raised well and they found their forever homes some time ago; as I was semi feral I have taken a lot longer to get used to being a people cat. My foster family have worked so hard and while I don't like to be picked up or handled, I am calm and content and my family see that in the right home I could even become a lap cat - as long as it is all on my terms! With the right people I will show my loving side; you would just need to be very, very patient with me. I just had a dental and most of my teeth removed, I am now the proud owner of just 4 teeth, not that it stops me eating, there is nothing I can't handle. I am looking for an indoor home, where I can be the only pet and with no children as I am always going to have a little bit of feistiness in me. I am neutered, chipped and ready to go, all I need now is you...

Hello, my name's Bronson and I'm hoping to find my forever home. I'm a 1 year old, black and white, short haired boy. I've been neutered, chipped, vaccinated and treated for fleas and worms. I have to admit that I'm a bit of a bully with the other cats and behave a bit like a naughty teenager really! I came in with another two cats, Bindi and Daisy and I adored them and was guided by them which goes to show I can be nice! Maybe a friendly female cat would be nice to have. I don't want to live with a dog though. I have started coming forward for attention and enjoy a stroke on my terms but I think I'm best with no children.. I'm looking for a quiet, indoor home or I could go out to a catio, or a secure, cat proofed garden. If you are an experienced cat owner and think that you have just the home for me, please get in touch?

Hello, my name is Teddy. I was found straying, and had been for a number of years; maybe I had a home once, but it was a whole lifetime ago. I had joined up with a feral colony and was being fed by kindly neighbours. I had a disagreement with a car and came away needing crate rest, so came into care. I am now neutered, chipped and vaccinated; I was also found to have some dental issues, including tooth reabsorption, so will need ongoing vet care and possibly further dental treatment. I have decided that I would like a nice indoor home, with people who will be around a lot of the time, to keep me company; I really enjoy cuddling up on a lap and get sad if left for too long. I would prefer to be the only pet, but could live with children. Please get in touch if you could offer me my forever home?

Hello everyone, we are Caterella (left) and Violet. Violet is a beautiful tabby lass and I am tabby & white. We are on the hunt for a nice quiet home with a patient guardian to care for us. Violet was living with a feral colony but was not too feral, so came in with the hope of settling into the right home and blossoming. I arrived from another colony; we were popped in together when our babies had all found their homes, and we have become very good pals. We are looking for just the right people to show us that a settled home life is a good thing. We are now neutered and would like a home with only one or two people and no children. Other cats would be perfect, especially if they can show us the housecat ropes! If you think you could help us reach our full potential and have patience in bucketfuls, please get in touch.

I've been waiting over a year... Please pick me! How do you do? My name is Pudding, I am a shy and gentle lad looking for someone to love me. I am almost 2 years old and have already spent over a year of my life in rescue; I am scared of unexpected noises and like my routine, so probably don't push forward as much as other cats. Once I know and trust people I really quite like a chin tickle and a stroke. I do tend to hiss when I am frightened, it is not aggressive, not sure I could be that way even if I tried, a hiss is all I have when worried. I am very much a modern lad, I enjoy spending my down time watching cat videos on TV and will have a funny 5 minutes chasing a laser pointer. I love other cats and would love to share with others, rather than be an only cat; but would prefer no young children or dogs. I am a house cat and content with it, but if you had a catio for sunny days, I would be over the moon. If you can offer me my dreams, please get in touch.

We've been waiting over a year... Please pick us! Well hello there, we are Penny & Porter a sibling pair, we arrived as part of a group of 4 older kittens  and are around a year old. We are looking for a patient owner or two, 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 here we are still unsure about being touched, but are far more comfortable with people now. What we need to help us is to find a home, 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?

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

W've been waiting over a year... Please pick us! 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 fell in love with Reece and we bonded; we can often be found cuddled up like our picture. He is very timid and will tolerate a quick pass by tickle but not a proper stroke yet. We will need to be indoor cats until fully comfortable and settled in; we both enjoy time in the sunny catio here; in fact, a forever home with a catio would be like a lottery win for us! We have been neutered and are ready to meet you; if you are an experienced cat person who understands our need to take things at our own pace, please get in touch.
