Occasionally, for a variety of reasons, we are unable to home a cat. These cats, known as pensioners, become permanent residents at the Rescue and may be sponsored. All are housed, usually in family groups, in large pens. Other cats have smaller pens and are free to roam by day in the large garden.
Pensioners for Sponsorship
NT
NT just appeared in the garden one day. He is a very friendly cat and was soon accepting several meals a day. He moved into the house and was soon sleeping on beds. Now very tubby he is well known down Chapel Street. Some people know him as Bertie and he is happy to accept a meal in anyone’s house. He is a big character and his name NT stands for Naughty Tabby.
COCO
Coco was in very poor condition when she came to us. We had her investigated at the vet and she was found to be diabetic. She has since gained weight and has found a new spark of life. She has her own pen that she sleeps in at night, but is free to wander around the garden during the day. She is often to be found sleeping in the front garden.
SPOT & STRIPE
Spot and Stripe came to the rescue as kittens with their mother and brothers and sisters. They had a nasty virus and were the only kittens to survive. They have been left with some health problems, but grew up to be large and happy cats. They live in a large pen and are set free in the garden during the day. These brothers are good friends and are often asleep together in the same bed.
TYLER
Tyler is a very shy cat. Often the pen he lives in appears to be empty, because he is hiding inside a pillow case or under a blanket. When he learns to trust a person though, he is very friendly and fussy. He is a large boy and has a lovely soft coat. He lives with his sisters Tina and Tara.
BLANCO
Blanco came to the rescue as a large kitten from Tipton. He was very wild at first, but after becoming ill and being nursed back to health, he decided that humans are actually alright. He is now very fussy. He likes to eat biscuits and demands to be brushed daily.
SMUDGE
Smudge is Blanco’s sister. She didn’t tame to quite the same extent as Blanco. Although she pretends to be shy and hisses, she doesn’t actually mind when she is touched. She is very active and is always climbing about the pen, whereas Blanco likes to rest most of the time.
TOBY
Toby is the only tabby cat living in a large group of black and black and white cats. He lived alone briefly, but was totally unfazed as several cats were introduced into his large pen. He is less friendly with humans now that he has seven cat friends. He now prefers to look down on the people looking after him from which ever high shelf or piece of play equipment he’s lying on.
LOULOU & LENNIE
These two are both large cats. They are playful and take a lively interest in anything happening in their pen. Lenny always dismantles any box or plaything that is put in their house. He also likes to eat any treats that are offered before his friends can get to them.
OLIVIA & OLGA
These two shy cats came to the rescue as kittens. They probably didn’t find a home because they are plain black cats. They have interesting characters and are always up to something. They live in a group with six other cats.
SOOTY
Sooty lives in a group of eight cats. She is shy, but friendly. A small cat with a very glossy coat
SUZIE
Suzie is a handsome cat. She lives happily in her pen with a group of friends. Sometimes she is friendly and enjoys a stroke, but sometimes she pretends to be scared and runs away.
