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.

Barney is a 'chatty', friendly chap of 10 years old who's owner had a problem with him wanting out at nights. He does need access to outdoors! He is semi-longhaired black and white, and has had no experience of children or other animals.

My Name is Katie and I am a Maine Coon pedigree cat about 9yrs old. I would like a quiet home without young children and would be happy as an indoor cat or to have access to outside. I am very friendly and love to be brushed and have my tummy rubbed. Please phone Sheila on 01506 440513 if you are able to give this lovely cat the forever home she deserves.

Toto is a grey tabby with golden eyes, who needs homing as his previous partner was allergic to cats. He is friendly but quiet so would be best in a household without other animals or young kids, but with a garden. He is 1 and a half years old.

Spencer and Shadow came in to L C R together, as their owner was moving, but may be homed separately. Shadow is black, friendly, and ok with dogs. Spencer is tabby, more timid and doesn't like dogs. They are both 2 years old. They need access to a garden.
Max's previous owners could no longer look after him so this friendly black chap of 4 or 5 needs a new home. He would be best not with kids under 10, and may be fine with other cats. He needs access to the outdoors.

Toby's owner moved into a flat without a garden, so Toby had to come to Lothian Cat Rescue as, like most of our cats, he needs access to the outdoors. He should be fine with older children, but is not fond of other cats!

Logan came into the shelter as a stray who looked as if he had been 'in the wars' so he was a bit wary of strangers, but now he has discovered it's fun to be a lap cat, and delights the staff in the office with his friendly manner. He should be fine with older children and other animals, and needs access to the outdoors. He is tabby and white, has one blue eye and one golden eye and is 4 to 5 years old.

Lady is black with big golden eyes. She was stressed by other cats in her previous home, so would be best in a quiet home with a garden but without other animals or children.
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!

6 cats and 8 kittens were abandoned when their owner moved away, so we now have Si, Sassy, Mimi and Al all looking for homes. All are 9 months to a year old, and all are different variations of black and white, and despite their treatment, they are gentle and friendly, though Al should be homed as an only cat as he tends to dominate the others. The others get on well together, as you can see from the photo of Si and Sassy. They all need a home with a garden.

Roo is not small! She's very overweight, so needs a new owner who will put her on a strict diet, and not be 'purrsuaded' by her very friendly attentions to give her titbits! She is 2 and a half or 3, and needs a home, perhaps with children, and a garden to exercise in, but no other animals.

Rio is a dark tortoiseshell semi-longhaired female of 1 and a half who was found straying with her kittens. (They have been homed, and she has now been speyed). She is affectionate, and should be fine with older children, but would be best in a home without other animals, but with access to a garden.

Lenny is a black and white lad of 1 or 2 who was found straying in someone's garden. He is friendly but shy, so his new home should be without other animals or young kids, and certainly with access to outside.

Tia is purry and friendly, but she did not settle with the children in her previous home, so is looking for a new life, maybe with other animals, but not with kids. She also needs a garden. She is 4 or 5 years old.
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 3 coloured tortoiseshell female called Penny is looking for an experienced, patient owner as she is rather highly strung. However she may be fine with older children, though not with other animals. She has been kept indoors till now, but really needs to get outside. She is 3 years old.
Puss's previous owner has been hospitalised, so she needs a new home without young kids or other cats and an owner who is willing to give her lots of T.L.C. and wipe her eyes each day. She also needs to be able to get outdoors. She is aged 6, and white with tabby patches.
