Buster is quite the man of mystery. He enjoys his own space and a snuggly place to hide and feel safe. Buster can sometimes be nervous around new people, and will need a home that can offer him the time and patience that he needs. His confidence has grown beautifully during his stay with us, and we know this will only continue when he finds himself in the right home. Buster is a fan of his own company only, so a home with no other pets is what he is looking for.

Ziggy is a 2-year-old Domestic Short Hair. Ziggy is looking for a quiet home, where he can settle in and find his paws. He is a playful cat, however he needs to get to know you first. He will need a new home, where there are no other pets. We have no previous information about him, as he arrived as a stray. Ziggy does seem to enjoy a little attention, but can also be very conflicting at times and can sometimes get worried. Due to this he will not be able to live with young children.
