Affectionate and lively, Amos loves nothing more than to cuddle up and get lots of fuss and attention, he will need an owner that is around a good part of the day to train him to learn how to be alone.

Amos currently lives with children and would be able to again but with children of school age due to his size and bouncy nature.

Next up on our list is the handsome Kai, a Persion Tabby cross looking for a new home through the Home Direct scheme also.

Kai can be shy around new people so ideally a quiet home with owners that will allow him to settle at his own pace, he has no experience living with children so would be better suited to a home with older children who can give him space.

Once Kai get’s to know you he loves to have a fuss and a play but is also quite independent and happy to do his own thing, could you give a home to Kai?

Xena is a sweet, sensitive nature who would need to be in a quiet home with older children, if you think you could offer him a new home, get in touch.

East Anglian Daily Times: Could you give a home to the affectionate Star?Could you give a home to the affectionate Star?

Last but not least is Star, an eight-year-old lady who loves all the home comforts a cat could ask for.

Star is very affectionate and loves getting fuss from everyone she meets once she get’s to know them.

They say black cats take longer to re-home, hopefully Star and Jasper can be the exceptions.

The process to adopt any of these pets is simple and begins with applicants completing a ‘Homefinder’ form.

This can either be completed online or in-house at the Blue Cross centre on Bourne Hill, Wherstead.

The re-homing fees for dogs aged over 16 weeks is £170 and the fee for cats is £70.

Where possible all pets are neutered, micro-chipped and will have had at least their first vaccination before going to new homes.

New owners have the benefit of four weeks of free pet insurance, as well as free behaviour support for the lifetime of their pet.
