Lothian Cat Rescue: More Star Cats

More Stars of LCR

Here are more cats who through us, and thanks to you, have found a new and happy life. Scroll down to see photos of these very happy cats.

B' gave Rascal his new home. "Rascal took all of 10 mins to settle into his new surroundings before leaping on the sofa and falling asleep!! He's been to the vet and been chipped and growled at all the dogs proving that dogs drool and cats rule!! This is one cat that won't be heading back to the centre, thanks again for all your fabulous work."

'C' & 'I' adopted George and Bunk in March (they were originally Simba and Fimble). "They have settled in very well and are lots of fun - George (the Tonkinese) could just play and play and play forever and Bunky is a real gent but also has his crazy moments. Can't imagine being without them now. Many thanks."

'P' adopted Jess in November 2006. "This is a photo of her sitting in our garden."

'L' adopted Molly (or Mo), listed as 'very shy' and in need of a 'quiet home', in Jan 09. "The vet went as far as to refer to her as 'absolutely feral' the first time we went, though! Blood was shed! She also squeezed under a bath panel and had to be kept in a crate for a few days to settle in, she was a total tearaway and I couldn't even approach her, never mind touch her, without receiving wounds. Happy to say that 1 year on, Mouse -- as she is now known! -- is much more cuddly and domesticated! We're still working on it, but she has come on so much since those early days of (literal) blood and (almost literal) tears. It didn't take long for her to come around and start functioning as a proper house cat ... which is saying something. All she needed was a regular routine, and to get her used to me; I hand-fed her one meal at the same time each day. Within eight weeks she was playing with my fingers, and now she sleeps in the bed."

'L' & 'R' adopted Mowgly on 12/5/10 and then Thunder 3 days later! "Mowgly is now named Murphy and he is extremely settled in his new home and surroundings after initially stuggling to get on with our other cat and Thunder. ( I can't imagine him not being a part of our family now) Thunder hid for the first few days in the spare room then moved to under our bed! It wasn't long before he was out and getting lots of cuddles and kisses. He is a big softie who loves to be either on your lap or curled up beside you. Murphy is very independent and chooses when to give you attention! He and our existing 11month old kitten play like brothers now, chasing each other around the house pinning each other to the ground. Mosley has shown both boys their new 'patch' and all three have been away exploring together, although Thunder rarely ventures from the garden unless an outsider is lurking near by then he springs in to action to protect his buddies! Murphy is a bit of an expert hunter and has brought back several 'presents', I'm sure it won't be long before Mosley is joining him on these hunts as they seem to do most other things together! All the boys like to lie in our bed and can usually be found there together quite happily curled up next to each other during the day! Thank You for all your hard work, support and advice."

'M' & 'M' decided to adopt Vanillie (Winnie) although she was very anxious and scratched them several times when they first met her. "But we did believe that she was just nervous and we hoped to tame our little tiger soon. On her first day Vanillie was very very anxious at her new home, constantly searching for attention and scratching us a second later again and again. At night however, she lay down on our bed and started purring nearly the whole night. Since then she made constantly progress, stopped scratching us and is now a very affectionate sweetheart and a real family-member. She has started going outside on her own (she was very much afraid of being outside at first - she has probably never been out before) and is exploring the garden. We love her very much and we can only say that it's worth it to give a cat that seems to be a bit difficult at the shelter a chance. It's fantastic to see all the progress she makes, we wouldn't want to live without her anymore! All best and thanks for your fantastic work!"

'K' & 'J' adopted Jasmine. "She seems to have settled in fine and is mental, loves climbing the blinds and sleeping under beds! She's a total gem and is making friends. She's eating well and has gained a little weight. She hasn't been out yet but we're thinking about letting her out next weekend under supervision!
