Bean
Bean is a 5 year old tortoiseshell female who came into the shelter in August. Bean is a typical tortie and can be quite feisty at times but she does love a cuddle and fuss on her terms. She is shy to begin with but after time, she learns to trust you. We would prefer to rehome Bean with children 12 years +, he can also be rehomed with other cats but not dogs.
Blue
Blue is a Tonkinese cross Siamese male who has been at the shelter since July. Blue is a very nervous boy who needs a quiet home where he will be given plenty of time and TLC to help settle him in.
Once settled he should become more trusting and affectionate towards his new owners. We would prefer to rehome Blue with children 12 years +, he can also be rehomed with other cats but not dogs.

Holly
Holly is 2 years old tabby and white female and came into the shelter in May due to behaviour problems. Holly is a nervous girl who gets scared easily. She can be very affectionate but its all on her terms.
When she feels threatened or scared by a situation she will lash out in defence.

We would prefer to rehome Holly in an adult only household as the only pet.

Franklin is a 3 months old tabby male and he and his brother, Ike, came in to the care of the RSPCA South Cotswolds Branch when they were 9 weeks old.
Claire McGill, Branch Development Manager, explains why Franklin is so special: “Franklin and Ike’s owner had been told by the vet that Franklin had a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH, for short) which would affect him for all of his life, basically making him wobbly and fall over quite a lot. This diagnosis contained a very large couple of words that the owner didn’t fully understand and even after an explanation, the owner decided that she did not want a kitten that was not 100% healthy.
“It seems that CH occurs when the cerebellum, that portion of the brain responsible for movement control, is underdeveloped or damaged. This is caused through an infection from an unvaccinated mother cat before the kitten is born. Obviously, not all the kittens in Franklin’s litter were affected, since his brother is fine. The symptoms of CH start to show up as soon as the kittens start to move.
“The term ‘wobbly kitten’ or ‘bendy kitten’ is also used to describe kittens with CH. In Franklin’s case, he just falls over every now and again. There is no cure for CH and there are varying degrees of seriousness of CH. From observing Franklin, his CH is not severe and he can move quite well though he will always fall over here and there.”
However, Franklin has a personality that far outweighs his disability – and besides, Franklin has no idea he even has a disability. For him, falling over is just part of life and he just gets up again and starts where he left off.
Claire says: “Franklin is a most affectionate little lad and the RSPCA South Cotswolds Branch would love for Franklin to have a home of his own. He will need a little more care than an ordinary kitten in that he will be better in a home without stairs – he goes up the stairs beautifully, but does have a bit of trouble on the way down! He can be an ‘outdoor’ cat but will have to have someone with him as he shouldn’t really be up a tree without a hand to get down. We would love for him to be rehomed with his brother, Ike, who is perfectly normal. Franklin and Ike have always been together and are great companions.”
Franklin’s condition is not a health problem – just a little hiccup in his coordination. He will be a wonderful member for any family who can give him just a little extra boost at times. Is there that perfect someone out there willing to offer him, and Ike, a home in return for many years of love and companionship?
Franklin truly is a special lad looking for that special home.

Naomi is a wonderful 12 year old, black female who simply adores human companionship. She has a huge friendly, happy personality to go with her rather huge extended Waistline, but here at the Mayhew we have Naomi on a special weight watchers diet which, followed strictly, will soon have her back to supermodel status.
With her glossy coat and catwalk wiggle she is half-way there. Naomi does thrive on attention and would be ideal for anyone working from home or newly retired.

Oliver is an adorable 3 year old black and white male, who came to the Mayhew as he was showing signs of stress, including developing cystitis, on the arrival of a new baby. Oliver is an extremely friendly cat who will happily greet anyone who visits him.
He’s playful and is currently enjoying his new fishing rod toy! He would need to be re-homed to an adult household or a family with older children, in view of his past. He doesn’t get on with other cats, so he will also need to go to a single-cat household.

Darling is a lovely 6-7-year-old female with beautiful calico markings, who came to The Mayhew owing to her previous owner’s ill health. Darling spent the first few months living with one of our foster carers where she proved to be a very laid back cat who settled in almost immediately.
Darling loves attention and being around people and would ideally suit someone who is around for the majority of the time. She enjoys playing with string toys but has a short attention span and gets bored of this rather quickly!
