Video: the cute cats looking for a Birmingham home this Christmas

The Cat Protection’s Adoption Centre in Wythall is full of cats hoping to find their forever home. We went along to see why so many puss’s are looking for a new home and to find out how you can help.

BirminghamWorld met so many cute cats, who are really cool company, looking for a home - they’re recommended by cat experts for so many reasons, including confidence building in children.

Here’s what deputy manager Paula Beswick had to say: “We have lots of cats that are available for adoption. So if you are interested, please look online. We’re using a hands free homing system at the moment. If you do see a cat that you particularly like sending your interest online. If you’re suitable match, we’ll give you a call and invite you in to meet that cat!”

“The adoption process is safe, hands free. So it’s very simple. You just apply online, we will give you a call when we found you that suitable match and then you would be invited in to meet the cat.

“And if you do like that cat, we give you some time to have a think. If you want to adopt them, we can take it from there and arrange a collection date. We give you all the history of the cats that we know of.

“Once you’ve collected the cat, you would have support - we would call you. If you have any issues you can always call us. We would always recommend a pet. They are good therapy.

“We have a lot of children that are very nervous that come in and have cats and it brings out the confidence in them. The elderly people - it is company - it’s a reason to get up in the mornings. It’s just a lovely thing to have a responsibility of a pet”
