Forlorn felines are filling up the Cats’ Protection League.
The Adoption Centre in Marlborough Road, Ryde is crawling with 54 cats and kittens in need of owners, including ten that have been in care for more than four months.
Still waiting are Boots the spirited tortoiseshell, and Archie, who is vulnerable after his years as a stray.
Boots arrived at the League home last August.
She is ‘very sociable’ but showing signs of frustration earning her the nickname “Naughty Tortie” after eight months at the home.
She needs some space to play, with a garden to tone her figure.
Archie was a wandering stray but is described as ‘very loving and affectionate’ and loves to be brushed.
Unfortunately, he can no longer go out due to contracting Feline Aids Virus, so needs a sizeable indoor home.
If you’d like to see more furry faces, the Adoption Centre are open daily from 11am-3pm, on Thursday evenings for viewing, and offer free tea and biscuits for prospective adopters on a Sunday afternoon.
The suggested donation is £45 for an adult cat and £65 for a kitten (who are vaccinated, neutered and come with 4 weeks free Pet Plan insurance).
For contact details and potential pet pictures, see the Adoption Centre Website.
