With the ongoing cost of living crisis, many pet owners are resorting to placing their furry companions in the RSPCA’s care, as they can sadly no longer afford to look after them.
Here are all the gorgeous furry friends currently being cared for at the RSPCA Preston branch that have not found their perfect family – could it be you?
Take a look at the latest adorable bunch including Duke and Jolene.
1. Lionel
Say hello to laid-back Lionel - a five-year-old black domestic shorthair! He is very vocal and lets you know when he’s enjoying himself, he likes being groomed and is fine with being picked up. He will play with toys but in his own time, and he isn’t very interested in socialising with other cats. He could live with children over 10 years old. Photo: RSPCA Preston
2. Jolene
Jolene is a five-year-old female Tabby domestic shorthair. Most of the time you will just see her snoozing away in her bed, but she enjoys being approached and spoken to and loves a good fuss even with new people. She would need to be the only pet in the household but she could live with children over 10 years of age. Photo: RSPCA Preston
3. Steve
Meet four-year-old black domestic shorthair Steve who is a super affectionate (some may say clingy!) cat. Once he gets to know you, he loves human attention and will follow you round like a shadow! Steve doesn’t like to be restrained but you can pick him up, and he will let you fuss him all day long. So far Steve seems to prefer his main human to be female, but if there is a spare male human in the house then that’s okay! He would like a relaxed home environment where someone is around a lot of the time. He needs to be the only pet in the home, and any children need to be over the age of 14. Photo: RSPCA Preston
4. Cleo
Say hello to loveable lady Cleo. Once she has gained your trust she is so loving and affectionate, sometimes all it takes is a handful of biscuits and introduction at a steady pace. Cleo knows basic commands and has played with toys but prefers human company, she settles well in areas and loves using a wobble kong to play with and get her treats from, she will spend ages with these so may be a useful addition to have in her future home. She would suit an adult-only home with no other pets. Photo: RSPCA Preston
5. Mildred
Say hello to magnificent girl Mildred - a 2-year-old black domestic short haired. She will happily interact with new people and allow us to brush her. Due to Mildred being a bit nervous at first her new owners will just need to give her the time and space needed to settle in but once she has she will make a great addition to any home. At this time she should be the only animal in the house and can live with cat savvy children over the age of 14+. Photo: RSPCA Preston
