Meet Missy 🐱 Beautiful Missy is looking for a new Meet Missy 🐱

Beautiful Missy is looking for a new home after sadly losing her owner.

Missy is approximately 16 years old, but is still a very spritely girl who loves attention, cuddles and a good head rub. She has a lovely purr and is friendly when meeting new people.

She is a beautiful Turkish White Angora with long fur, so will need gentle daily brushing, which she enjoys. She also has the most distinctive face, with one green eye and one blue eye!

Missy is an indoor-only cat and would love a quiet home where she can enjoy plenty of love and companionship in her retirement years.

* No dogs
* No history with children, so a child-free home would be preferable
* Healthy weight and not overweight

After losing her owner, Missy deserves a peaceful, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished.

Could you offer Missy her forever home?

FURREVER HOME FRIDAY: SAMPSON You may remember Sa FURREVER HOME FRIDAY: SAMPSON

You may remember Sampson — our lovely boy who came into Cats In Distress after being found as a stray, in poor condition and with a wound on his face. 

After everything he had been through, we were determined to find him the perfect home where he could finally feel safe, settled and loved.

And we absolutely did.

Sampson found his forever home as the only cat, and it sounds like he has completely embraced his new life.

His adopter recently shared:

“Sampson is doing really well thank you! We’ve had him over 8 weeks now, and he’s recently discovered that if he goes in the back garden, he’s allowed back in again. I did wonder if he was hesitant about going out because he was a stray and thought he might have to be again.

He’s also learnt to be a kitten again and has mad zoomies (usually just after breakfast, but sometimes at 4am). He’s such a cuddly kitty.”

And that isn’t all!

Sampson has gone from a nervous stray to a properly loved member of the family, complete with absolutely no understanding of personal space, a habit of pushing his face directly into his human’s face, and even the occasional tongue-out sleeping position!

His adopter told us:

“He’s a huge part of our family now and we want to give him the best possible time for the rest of his life having been through so much.”

That is exactly what rescue is all about.

Thank you to Sampson’s wonderful adopters for giving him the patience, understanding and love he deserved — and for keeping us updated along the way.

From stray, frightened and injured… to home, safe, loved and learning how to be a kitten again.

That’s a Furrever Home Friday worth celebrating.
💙 KEN 💙 Our gorgeous, super cuddly boy Ken is sad 💙 KEN 💙

Our gorgeous, super cuddly boy Ken is sadly back looking for his forever home.

Unfortunately, due to a completely unexpected change in his adopter’s personal circumstances, Ken is returning to us. These things can happen, and we want to make it very clear that this is absolutely no one’s fault. Ken is a wonderful boy, and the decision is upsetting all round. 

Ken has now returned to our care and is ready to find his next — and hopefully forever — home.

He is an incredibly affectionate and cuddly boy who has so much love to give, and we know there is someone out there who will be the perfect match for him.

If you think you could offer lovely Ken the forever home he deserves, please get in touch. 💙🐾
August was a lovely month for happy endings, with August was a lovely month for happy endings, with a total of 27 cats leaving our care and moving on to their next chapter.

This included 15 kittens finding their homes, as well as several feral cats moving on as part of our Working Cat Project.

Whether they have been rehomed as much-loved pets or found a safe new place to call their own as working cats, it is always wonderful to see them move on from our care and into happy futures.

Pictured are just a few of the lovely cats who started their next chapter in August.
Raffles and Coco are a gorgeous bonded pair of boy Raffles and Coco are a gorgeous bonded pair of boys, aged 3 and 5, looking for their forever home together. 

We know lots of people will look at their photos and immediately think they’d love these two and we completely understand why! But they have quite specific needs, so please read their description carefully before applying to make sure you can genuinely offer them the right home. 

They are super friendly, affectionate and very people-focused. They thrive on human attention and they will absolutely demand it! These aren’t cats who will hide away in a corner. Ideally, they need a home where someone is around for most of the day, with no other pets. 

We are specifically looking for a home with either a purpose-built catio or a fully secure garden, such as one enclosed with ProtectaPet fencing or similar. A standard garden with a 6ft fence isn’t considered secure enough. If a secure outdoor space isn’t available, we would consider a spacious indoor-only home where they have plenty of room, enrichment and opportunities to be involved. These requirements are important and we will not be making compromises on them. 

They aren’t particularly noisy cats, but they do like to converse, responding with little chirrups. They much prefer getting your attention in other ways, bopping you on the head while you’re bending down or jumping onto your back! These boys absolutely love being involved in everything you’re doing. They don’t like being left out and will happily follow the action around the house. 

As with any long-haired cats, their beautiful coats also require regular grooming and maintenance, so their new family needs to be prepared for this. 

All cats are special and unique, but these boys really are something a little different. They’re totally adorable, full of personality and, as you can probably guess, not your average moggies. If you think you can offer Raffles and Coco the right home, please read all of the adoption information carefully before applying.
