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 some of the gorgeous furry friends currently being cared for at the RSPCA in Preston and Blackpool that have not found their perfect family – could it be you?
Take a look at the latest adorable bunch including Harry and Elvis.
1. Ripple
Meet beautiful one-year-old Calico domestic demi long haired girl Ripple. She was previously in a multi animal household and is still nervous upon approach but she soon comes round and accepts and loves a fuss. She could live with children aged 16+ Photo: RSPCA Preston
2. 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
3. Elvis
Meet handsome five-year-old black and white domestic short hair Elvis. He loves a fuss and a brush and will roll around and push his head in to your hand while purring and give your fingers a little lick. Due to how nervous Elvis can be it would be recommended that he be the only pet and he could live with children aged 16+ as he will need time to adjust to new, quieter surroundings and needs time and patience to be comfortable with his new family.

4. Del Boy
Del Boy is looking for a special home with someone who has dog experience and also experience with nervous dogs. He hasn’t had the greatest start in life and is looking for a calm, quiet forever home. He is still quite nervous of new people particularly men. Delboy is a really big fan of tennis balls and loves playing with these with his handlers, so if you have a tennis ball you’ve already got yourself on his side. He would suit an adult-only home.

5. Scooby
Everyone who works with Scooby loves him, both staff and the volunteers enjoy working with him, even having sleepovers at a member of staff's house. He is always friendly with everyone and loves being out and about. He loves fuss and attention and could live with children of a secondary school age. Photo: RSPCA Blackpool and North Lancs
6. Reggie
Reggie is an excitable older boy who definitely doesn’t let his age slow him down! He is always up for going on long walks or having a run. After arriving in October he definitely made himself at home and made sure everyone will be his best friend. He really loves playing with toys, whether that be with raggers or balls, this lad is always up for having a play. Reggie would do better in an adult only home, but has the potential to live with older dog savvy children. Photo: RSPCA Blackpool and North Lancs
