The following cats are looking for homes just now. These are only a tiny amount of the cats at the Shelter and they are being featured because they need special, quieter homes. Most of them would benefit from the patient handling of adults or older children, and most would also love to have access to a garden. Could you find a place in your heart and your home for any of these cats? If you are interested in any of the cats please contact the Shelter on 01875 821025 for more information and to check that they are still available. Apart from these featured cats we usually have up to 60 cats in the Shelter, some suitable for family life, so do come along and visit as we may have just the very cat or cats for you and your family.
All cats are speyed, flead & wormed before homing.
Nelson, a large tabby lad of 3 or 4, is now recovering from a few 'war wounds' he got as a stray. He is friendly, but timid, so, though he may get on with other cats, a home without young children would be best for him.
Sammy has unusual markings - a white body with a tabby tail and head patch! He did not get on with the other cat in his last home, so would be best in a home without other animals, though he may be fine with older children. He's 6.
Spencer is a small ginger lad of 5 or 6. He is friendly, but would be best as an 'only' cat in an adult household. In this cold weather I don't think he's too keen to go out of his cat flap!
Jess was very frightened when she came to the Shelter, due to the illness of her previous owner, but she is coming round and becoming affectionate now. She is a dark tortoiseshell aged 5.
Peter (grey and white) and Frostie (all white) are two chaps of 10+ years old whose previous owner has now retired and gone travelling, leaving them without a home. They are very friendly and purry, though Peter is deaf.
Robbie was a bit grumpy when he came in to the Shelter with Rosie, who has been homed, but is now coming round and enjoying human attention in the office. He is a semi-longhaired tabby and white 12 year old male. He would be best in a home without other animals, or small children.
Lawson was very shy when he came to the Shelter but he's now beginning to enjoy attention. He's a tabby and white lad of 3 or 4, looking to be the only cat of an experienced owner, with no young kids.
Sasha and Oliver may have had some Persians in their ancestry, judging by their broad faces, but they are short-haired ginger and white. Shasha is female, and Oliver is male. They could be homed together or separately, with adults or mature children and without other animals.
Cauldron is black with a white patch on his tummy. He was bullied by another cat in his previous home, so would be best as an 'only' cat with an experienced owner without children at home. He is 8 years old.
We often have some mum cats whose kittens have been homed and are therefore ready to move to homes of their own. We try to home them directly from their foster homes to avoid them going through another stressful move to our Shelter. Take a look at our Mum Cats page ... there might be just the right beautiful cat there for you!
Smithy is a gentle ginger tom who was found straying in Leith. He is 4, and would be be best in a home without children, though he may be all right with other animals.

Saffy and Haggis are two very affectionate long-haired tabby girls, aged 2, whose owner is moving and can't take them. Saffy is the smaller of the two, but Haggis is more timid, so they are looking for a home without other cats or young children.
Mitsy was fondly looked after by an old couple, one of whom has now died, and the other is ill and unable to look after Mitsy, so she is looking for a quiet loving home with no other animals. She is 5 years old, with a sleek black coat - quite plump, and very purry!
Walter was a long time stray so he's a bit wary at the moment, as you can see from the way he's hiding from the camera, but is just needing to settle in a permanent stable home. He's black with white, and is 5 or 6 years old.
For a cat who likes to be spoilt like royalty, Princess is a very good name! She is black with golden eyes, 5 years old, and very loving. She lived with a dog before her owner went into sheltered housing, but is not used to children or to other cats.
Sully is a tabby female of 7 years old from the Borders. Her previous owner has gone abroad, so she is looking for a loving new home with no other animals or young children. She's looking a bit spikey because, like all LCR cats, she's been flea sprayed.
Ben, in the shelter originally because his owner had died, was recently homed but has been returned by his adopters as he kept wanting out onto a very dangerous busy road. He is a delightful, friendly, black and white 6 year old male cat who needs a home, with no other animals or young children, where he can get out for a wander safely at night. Here you can see him enjoying the snow at LCR!
Sammy is at least 10 years old. He is a semi-longhaired black and white chap who was a long term stray and is rather timid, so an experienced cat owner would be best. He is photographed with stripey Leon (now homed) as these two lads found the warmest place in L.C.R. on a freezing day - the cat blanket cupboard in the office - and took ownership together!
Carrott is a 3 year old ginger tom found straying for a long time in West Lothian. As a result he is a bit upset to be confined in a pen, so would need an understanding owner, but may be fine with other animals and with older kids.
