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.
ALL CATS REQUIRE A GARDEN UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.
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.
Little black Bramble was got as a kitten from LCR, but now, at 9 months, has been rejected by her owners as they are expecting their first grandchild. She is an affectionate, playful little cat who may get on well with kids and cats, and would love a family with a garden she could go out in.
Penny was found straying in Livingston - a hard life for a middle aged cat! At about 10 years old, she has no teeth, but has no trouble scoffing soft food! She has a good temperament, and should be ok with animals and children. She would appreciate a comfortable home with access outside at times.
Tabby and white Candy is a 12 year old female who has recently had 2 homes, the first where the owner was evicted, and the second where there was a cat allergy, so she is looking for a nice settled home with a garden but without children or animals to spend her later years peacefully.
Romeo is an unusual Abssynian ginger male of 8 who needs an experienced cat owner. He has been indoors till now, and is not too happy being in the Shelter, but he does need to get out and about from his new home.
At 3 years old, Daisy was no longer wanted by her owner in West Lothian. She is tabby tortoishell, and a bit timid in the shelter, but may be ok with kids and cats, in a home with a garden.
We would like to trace Boo-boo's owner. This gentle black 9 year old male is microchipped as being from East Kilbride, but was found straying in Pumpherston, near Livingston.
No longer wanted in her home in Musselburgh, Charlie is a purry black cat with a white spot on her chin, and white bib and paws. She is 3 years old and fine with children, though she has never lived with other animals. A home with a garden would suit her best.
Gizmo needs a new owner he can trust, as he is a bit fearful after straying in Longstone. He is white with black patches, and 2 years old. He may be fine with older children and cats.
Lucky is a small black female of 6 months who was a stray for 2 months being fed by a couple in a Sheltered Housing complex, who sadly are not allowed to keep pets. They say she loves cuddles and to sit on a knee, but also to roam outside. She does not get on with other cats.
Haggis is a talkative semi-long haired lilac tortoiseshell female of 5 who was straying in Colinton. She would be best in a home with a garden, but without children or other cats.
Cheeky's owner had a new baby and had no time for this little black 2 year old cat. He is friendly but a little timid, so would appreciate a gentle owner, and a home with a garden.
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, so if there is a phone number beside the picture of the cat you will know it is a mum cat.
Tabby and white Annie is an active, playful 3 year old, who has been with LCR since March 2011. She was not chosen as she was a bit feisty, but after patient handling by the staff she is now happy and friendly and really needing a home of her own, preferably without kids or animals, but with access to a garden.
Black and white Misty, aged 5, is a bit stressed by being in a pen, and can be a bit fiesty at times, so a quiet home with a garden but with no animals or children would suit her best.
Nyang, a semi-longhaired grey tabby (above), and Milky, who is black and white (below) are two 1 year old lads looking for a home together as their previous owner can no longer look after them. They love to be petted and may get on with children and animals. They do need to get outdoors sometimes.
Colin likes to be cosy and petted! He is 2 and a half, black and white, and should be ok with children over 10, and maybe with cats and dogs. He needs a new home, preferrably with a garden, as his previous owner's child was allergic to cats.
After living as a stray for about a year, Hercules's white fur coat has become a bit scruffy, and he has become very appreciative of his food in the Shelter, so this lad of 2 or 3 needs a caring cosy home with a bit of TLC. He may get on ok with children and animals, and needs to get outside sometimes.
A cat now called Bruno is microchipped with an address in Granton, but the owner seems to have moved away. We have now discovered his original name was Jack. He was found straying in The Inch, Edinburgh. We would like to reunite this large black male of 3 or 4 with his owner.
Sasha is a quiet black and white female of 6 with only one eye. She was not coping with having a new baby in her previous home, so is looking for a new owner without children or other animals, but with a garden.
Skye is a loveable grey female of 4 with a little white 'locket'. However she can be feisty at times, and is not keen on other cats, so a catfree, childfree home with a garden would be best for her.
Zebedee is a quiet black 6 year old male whose owner was moving and had to leave him behind. He is friendly but timid, so would be best homed with no young kids or other animals, and with a garden to get out into.
Buffy is a six year old tabby female who had to leave her previous family as one of them was allergic to cats. She would be best in a home without other animals or children and with a garden.
A black semi-longhaired friendly lad called Jojo needs rehomed as he was not happy in a busy household, so a new place with no animals but perhaps children over 12, and access to a garden, would suit him best.
