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 Velha and Vinnie.
1. Ruby
Ruby is an extremely sweet girl who loves being around people, she likes to show that she is happy by giving you a big staffie smile. Ruby loves her walks and interacting with a range of people, all the walking volunteers love to take Ruby out. She is a really good little walker and will just trot next to you and have lots of sniffs. She loves a fuss and really thrives being around people. She could live with children of a secondary school age and possibly a dog. Photo: RSPCA Blackpool and North Lancs Branch
2. Star
Star is a very affectionate eight-year-old girl and loves everyone that she meets, she will greet everyone with a wagging tail and a big kiss. Star really thrives being around people and wants to have affection. She loves playing with her tennis ball but she just as much loves going out on a walk and exploring her environment. She could live with children of a secondary school age. Photo: RSPCA Blackpool and North Lancs
3. Summer and Winter
Dynamic duo Summer (female, Shepherd X) and Winter (male, Staffie X) arrived at Longview after being abandoned. Even though they may look different they see themselves as siblings and love being together. Both of them have their own unique personality but they go together really well, they both love going on their walks. Summer and Winter would love to have a home where they would be the only animals in the house where they can get all the attention to themselves. They could live with children of a secondary school age. Photo: RSPCA Blackpool and North Lancs
4. Marmalade
Meet Marmalade - a four-year-old ginger and white female domestic shorthair. She is extremely nervous of contact with humans at the moment. Despite making some progress in her foster home, she will definitely need a lot of time, space and patience in her new home. When given space she is a happy little cat and will play for hours throughout the day with toys. She would prefer an adult-only household. Photo: RSPCA Preston
5. Astro
Astro is our very sweet and affectionate 11-month-old domestic shorthair. She is a very affectionate and loving girl who wants nothing more than to give as many head bumps as possible and loves nothing more than some warm cuddles. She could live with children of a primary school age. Photo: RSPCA Preston
6. Twirl
Twirl is a beautiful 11-month-old female Tortie domestic shorthair. She cant get enough of the cuddles, head bumps and loves playing with her toys, especially the small mice toys, she will grab and chew till her hearts content. She is looking for a quiet home as the only pet but can live with children 16+ who will offer her time and space when she needs it and allow her to come to them. Photo: RSPCA Preston
