When you are in a relationship, getting a pet together can be a great way to bond. For some couples, it is a way to solidify their relationship before hopping on to the bigger challenge of becoming parents. And, cats can be great pets to find your footing together.
Different cats have different personalities and you can find one that suits your personalities. There are cats who are shy or those who are super friendly and adventurous. With some patience, it is possible to train cats to go outdoors on a leash.
Just look at this adorable Bengal cat and her owner. They have flown to multiple countries and go on hikes together. If you want a fuss-free experience with a pet, cats are still the ideal option since you don’t have to walk them. They can take themselves out. Cats are independent and once they have settled in for a few weeks they can be let out in the garden as well. However, always pay attention to the advice an adoption centre gives you about your cat. Each cat is different, after all.
So, if you are ready to take this plunge with your partner, here are 13 cats living at Cats Protection’s Birmingham centre that are looking for a forever home as Valentine’s Day approaches:

Steve is a 1-year-old sleek cat who is loving and confident. He needs a home with outside space for him to explore. He loves a cuddle and loves to play with his favourite toys. | Cats Protection
10. Lucky
He might not look it but he is 12. He loves to snuggle up to you and give cuddles. He would love a home where he can be affectionate, playful and sleepy whenever he wants. | Cats Protection
11. Simon
Simon is 3 years old. He was handed in as a stray so not much is known about him. He is friendly and loves a fuss. He might be able to live with kids, depending on the first meet. | Cats Protection
12. Milly
The gentle Milly is a senior cat aged 15. She is super affectionate and enjoys a brush and lots of attention. She would suit a home with little going on and with someone who just wants a companion to spend the evenings with. | Cats Protection
