If you have been thinking of getting a cat, there are several adorable kittens and adult cats in the care of Cats Protection Birmingham that are looking for a forever home. The animal charity is currently not open for walk-in visits to meet the cats, this is available by appointment only.
Adopting a pet is a big decision and one that needs to be taken seriously. There are several things to be considered, including finances and their healthcare. However, don’t let those daunt you because having a cat is a rewarding experience that you and your family is probably going to love.
They are curious and cuddly but they also need their own space and time to recover. However, unlike popular myths they are not cold and indifferent. They simply have a different way of showing their affection than dogs. The thousands of cat videos on the internet are likely going to give you a good idea about the nature of cats. Their temperament may differ from breed to breed and among individual cats. They are very much their own person!
So, if you have made up your mind to take this decision, you can contact Cats Protection and set up an appointment to meet your potential family member. Here are seven beautiful cats that can be yours:
1. Ravel
She loves tummy tickles. She is small for her age, but holds her own in play battles. She is bonded with her mum Vickers, and they spend all day playing and cuddling. As such they need to be homed together. She is four months old.
2. Vickers
Vickers is an absolute sweetheart who adores fuss, and will run up to you, follow you around and demand attention. At heart she is still a kitten herself and is small for her age. She is completely bonded with her kitten Ravel, and they sleep and play together all the time. As such, they need to be homed together. She is one year old.
3. Sid
Sid is 13yrs young and loves a fuss from his carers. He’s had a few medical issues in the past (previous cystitis and also a thyroidectomy) but has been fit and well while in the care of Cats Protection. Ideally, he would be better for a home with no children or other pets, in order to keep him stress free and healthy and he’d love a garden to potter around in. If you’re looking for a laid back, gentle, older companion, he may just be the one for you.
4. Casper
He is a playful boy, who loves his fishing rod toy and anything with catnip. Casper is affectionate and loves to follow you round the house to make sure he’s not missing anything. He is very friendly and cuddly with adult owners, dribbles when cuddling and also loves to snuggle under your jumper with you. He has been an indoor cat up to now but he would really benefit from having a secure garden to explore. He is three-years-old.
