Queen – 6 year old female Black and White Domestic Short-Haired Cat
Queen is a 6 year old black and white female who came into RSPCA care with 3 other cats after her owner became very ill and had to go into a hospice.
Queen has been neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, wormed and started on her vaccinations. Queen is quite overweight and so is currently on diet food hoping to get her fit again. She also has an eye infection at the moment that is being treated. She is a lovely cat that would make a great companion.
Here is what her fosterer had to say about her:
Queen is a big girl. Her name really suits her and she is definately in charge! She is a very chilled-out cat and has settled in to her foster home really quickly. She loves to be cuddled and loves a fuss but is also happy to be left alone. She doesn’t mind being picked up either, but you do need some strength.
I have been brushing her because she struggles with grooming all of her fur. The vet clipped some knots out of her fur so she has a little shaved spot on her back which will grow back. Her coat is very soft when it is brushed. I have been testing Queen with samples of diet food recommended by the vet and she eats this happily. Her appetite is not as big as I expected and she often leaves half a bowl and returns for it later. Queen has a very quiet meow, like a ‘chirp’, when she wants to sit with you or when she asks for food, it’s really appealing.
She uses the litter tray with no problems. She gets on with the other cat she is fostered with, she just ignores him. I think she would be just as happy to be alone.

Harvey is an 8 year old black male who came into RSPCA care with 3 more cats after their owner sadly became very ill and had to go into a hospice.
This cat did not belong to the owner but was a local stray that he had been feeding for several months and so we decided to bring it in along with the rest.
Harvey is a beautiful cat and has a sleek black coat with amazing green eyes. Harvey has been neutered, micro-chipped, flea treated, wormed and started on his vaccinations. He has also had a full health check and the vet confirms he is ‘fit as a fiddle’. He is being fostered in Buxton with Nelson but they are happy to be re-homed separately.
Here is what his fosterer had to say:
‘He’s an absolutely gorgeous, lovely cat. As soon as he came to my house he was all over me after a fuss. He’s really affectionate, always after attention! He rubs his face against yours, he just can’t get enough – so sweet! He’s obviously an outdoorsy cat as he sometimes sits on the mat next to the front door wanting to go out. He’s also very playful. I was surprised that he was 8 as he acts like a much younger cat.
Harvey needs to re-homed as an only cat into a home with no existing cats

Nelson is a 8 year old black and white male who came into RSPCA care with 3 more cats after their owner sadly became very ill and had to go into a hospice.
Nelson has been neutered, micro-chipped, flea treated, wormed and started on vaccinations. Nelson came in with an enlarged thyroid but blood tests show all is normal. He is being fostered in Buxton with Harvey but they are happy to be re-homed separately. Nelson has one eye as his name suggests. He is black and white, each leg being white with a black patch. Nelson has been fully vet checked and given a clean bill of health although he will have some dental work in the near future.
Here is what his fosterer had to say:
Harvey and Nelson both settled in and made themselves at home right away. They are very friendly and like being handled, held and cuddled and will readily sit on your knee. They have obviously been lavished with affection by their previous owner because this is what they expect as soon as you appear.
They are not fussy eaters and are using the litter tray without problems. They previously have lived in a multi cat household but Harvey has only been part of this household for a few months. Therefore Nelson and Harvey do not seem especially attached to each other, although there is no tension either, so I think they could be rehomed together or separately. They would settle in well to most households and be very loving cats for their new owner.

Sid is a Ginger long haired cat who is approx 5 years old.
( here is what Sid’s Fosterer has to say about him 13th Jan )
In the 4 – 5 weeks or so that i have had Sid, his confidence in me has changed dramatically. The first day he arrived, he was petrified, and hence growled and hissed etc -he is not an aggressive cat, i just dont think he has ever been touched by a human. The first week or so, all he wanted to do was hide away – but now he prowls around my house like he has always lived here!! He is still unsure of strangers, but will only give them a little warning hiss and back away. He still doesnt like sudden movement but again he just goes to his safe place (in my case, this is in his bed in the kitchen).
The first couple of weeks, i couldnt go anywhere near him without him trying to scratch me or growl, spit and hiss at me. These actions are to be expected when he goes to his new home initially, but the change in him, in such a short space of time, will be extremely rewarding for his new owners. All Sid needs to know is that you arnt going to hurt him, and patience and love will go a long long way with this lovely adorable cuddly cat!
He absolutely loves his food, and i have never known a cat with such a sensitive nose!! Again, initially, if we were eating our tea, he would try to claw the food from me (no doubt due to the fact that he had to fight food his food in his old house bless him). He no longer does this. He uses his litter tray perfectly, but he doesnt use the scratching post so if im leaving him for any amount of time, i coax him into the kitchen.
I am slowly getting him used to going in and out of the cat carrier for any future vet visits etc, by leaving treats in there for him. At first he would get the treat and run out immediately, now he happily will take his time as he is aware that its no longer a danger. Hopefully this will take the stress away from him as, im sure you can imagine, he does not like being picked up yet or being in a confined space. Again, purely because he is not used to it and panics.
In the day, he just tends to doze and have a little wander around. At night, he and Nellie run around for a good half an hour playing -and its so lovely to watch. He likes his toys, the ones on the end of string are his favourite, but after a while he loves to take a back seat and watch Nellie play for ages!!
He has now claimed my bean bag in my front room and sits on it watching the world go by like its his throne! He also has now started to sit in the study with me whilst im on the computer!!
I had a massive break through the other day, as i am now able to stroke him, albeit it for only a few seconds, without him backing away. I think because Sid has watched me stroke Nellie, this has instilled confidence in him. I have never felt such a sense of pride for a long time!!!
Re-homing a cat is such a rewarding experience anyway, but to re-home a cat that has been so totally unused to being loved, being fed regularly, touched, etc is something that no amount of money can buy,
and i have no doubt whatsoever that whichever lucky family gets Sid, they will be rewarded everyday watching him become more and more confident in you.
Nellie – Approx 3 year old female Ginger Domestic Short-Haired Cat
Nellie is a very petite, bright little cat. She is always playing and has mad half hours where she belts up and down. She is happy to be stroked, loves a rub behind the ears and will tolerate a tummy tickle.
She’s interested in everything and is very nosy. She enjoys watching the TV (I’m not sure if she has seen one before as she is so fascinated by it!) or the world go by out of the window and always wants to come & see what I’m doing and if there’s a game she can make out of it. Not being able to see out of one of her eyes doesn’t bother her in the slightest. She loves Sid to bits and fusses him constantly; he is like her big fluffy teddy bear! I’m sure she would make someone a lovely, fun-filled pet

Jem was originally brought into the care of another cat charity from a lady who had been evicted from her home and was living in the car with her. She was re homed last November to lovely couple who adored her. One of the owners had been in and out of hospital with chest infections and various problems. He was recently diagnosed with chronic asthma and an allergy to cats. He was rushed into hospital due a reaction to Jem and unfortunately she was dropped a vets the same day as it was just to dangerous for the owner. They could not even talk properly on the phone because they were so distraught and never imagined this would have happened. They loved Jem so much and felt terribly guilty considering what she had already been through. The charity she was originally re homed from had absolutely no space so we offered to take her in and try and find her a loving home for life.
Jem was taken to her foster home the same day she arrived. She is confident cat and settled in within hours.
She stomped about the place as if she had always been there and investigated every nook and cranny.
She loves attention and follows you around the house. She is still very kitten like and loves to play with her toys. She even chases an empty kitchen role holder around. She would suite most environments as she is calm and confident. She loves being stroked and fussed but does not particularly liked to be picked up which is common in many cats.
she’s very friendly and greets visitors with a mieow, she’s also very active and likes to play alot, her favourite game is playing with straws she loves them.
She is spayed, fully vaccinated, micro chipped flead and wormed and just waiting for a new owner to come forward.

Dale is a short-haired tabby male aged around 1 year old who was rescued by the RSPCA as an injured stray. His right eye was injured and has been treated by vets. He is on medication to complete his recovery. Additionally. Dale has been given FIV/FELV tests which thankfully were negative, neutered, treated for fleas, wormed and given his first vaccination.
Having been outdoors for some time Dale’s coat is quite thick and he is a bit vocal, but settling. His eye is going to take some weeks to heal properly and eyes closed or with just one open, he is obviously not content about not seeing the world around him as he would like.

Hitler is a black and white male aged 3 years old who was reported to the RSPCA as an injured stray and recovered by an inspector to the care of a local vet where he has been for nearly two weeks. His had a nasty bite on his back and needed stitches, antibiotics and prolonged observation. He is with a branch fosterer in Congleton.
He has been treated for fleas, wormed, had FIV/FELV blood tests (negative) and had 1st vaccination. Neutered, this puss loves laps and being made a fuss of! Great appetite, just loves food. Bit wary of folks at first but that quickly changes. Very good around fosterer’s toddler.

Beans is a black and white male aged around 1 year old who was rescued by a concerned member of the public, Beans had an injured tail which that person had treated at the vets as she planned to keep him, if not claimed.
That was some months ago. Unfortunately, he is not madly keen on other cats and so despite trying for some time, Beans’ new owner decided he could not keep him without upsetting her own moggies. She turned to the branch for help, having tried to be a good Samaritan!
Beans is actually very good with humans and likes playing games with children. We think he must be the only pet in any new home.
Beans is moving to a foster home in Buxton this weekend (13/14 October). If you think Beans might be the new pet for you, call today.

Bobby is a white and black male aged approximately 4 years old. Bobby came to us from the RSPCA North Staffordshire Branch to help ease their cats in care numbers. Except for a couple of black body patches and an all black tail, he is a white cat – very striking!
Vets have had to remove virtually all of one ear and half the other because of a past disease. He was found on a building
site in need of care and attention. He seems a little timid at first but once he knows you are interested in him and he’s likely to get a tickle or stroke, he incredibly affectionate. Will make a lovely companion to a new owner. Have no record of his actions around children or pets in the home.
