Could you open your home to one of these cats and dogs looking for new homes at the Blue Cross centre in Wherstead?
The first animal is need of a home this week is Whisper, the bright ginger cat who is looking for a home to lounge around and relax in.
A sweet and quiet natured girl, she is currently undergoing treatment for something called hyperthyroidism, but in no time at all she should be all better.
Whisper can’t live with other animals, but could live with older children which will give her time to relax and enjoy a bit of piece and quiet.
Next is Roxy, a fun and affectionate girl that has a real zest for life. She loves to run and play with her toys and leap around.
Roxy is still young so she will need a home that can continue her training and help her learn about the world.
She will need to be the only dog in the home. She can’t live with cats, but can live with older children.
Meet Monkey, so called because as a kitten she loved climbing and hanging from curtains, but having grown out of that now, she much prefers climbing the odd tree to watch the world go by.
A middle aged lady, she is the perfect cat to sit on your lap.
Monkey would be okay living with older children, but not with another cat or dog.
How about Ella the Staffie, this shy girl is slowly growing in confidence and really loving the people at the centre and slowly beginning to start gaining confidence
Ella can be a tad unsure at times so a quiet home and area would be best to help her gain in confidence with owners and older children that can support her training.
She is looking for a home where you will be home most of the day and could live with another calm, confident dog which can also help her gain confidence.
How about giving Chloe a new home, she is definitely one that enjoys a bit of fuss and sitting on your lap in the evenings
Chloe can share a home with school age children, but would need to meet them at the centre first.
She would also need to be the only pet in the home and living in an area where there isn’t too many cats as she become a little worried by neighboring cats at her last home.
Last but certainly not least is the beautiful Cassie, a gentle giant that loves nothing more than a scratch behind the ear.
She is extremely friendly and loves meeting other dogs and making new friends so can go into a home that has dogs of a similar temperament already.
Cassie could live with school age children as long as they are not worried by Cassie being so big and she hasn’t lived with cats before so would need an assessment if you already own a cat.
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 £160 and the fee for cats is £65.
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.
