Could you offer a home to one of these cats and dogs at the Blue Cross centre in Wherstead?
Rocky is kicking off our list this week. This chap is seven years old and loves to spend his days snoozing away and enjoying a warm lap.
He could potentially live with any aged children as long as they are able to give him the time and space when he needs it.
Rocky would need to be the only cat in the home and ideally in an area with a low cat population. He could potentially live with dogs.
Next up is the bouncy Buddy, a 10-month-old German Shepherd cross. An energetic fellow that also has a big soft streak that just loves a bit of fuss and belly rubs.
He is a young boy so will need a family who is around most of the day who can take him out and keep him mentally stimulated with some basic training.
He can live with older children and with another dog which can tolerate his playful side but can’t live with cats.
How about adopting Raven, a shy little cat looking for a new home to help gain confidence.
She would need support settling into a new home and would need quite a calm household
Raven would need to be the only pet in the house but can be homed to a family with older children.
Next on our list is Jessie, the nine-year-old German Shepherd cross, an affectionate girl who acts a lot younger than she may appear.
Jessie is still very keen for her walks as well as curling up on a comfy bed to chill out or even on to an armchair which would be a bonus.
Jessie can live in a home with children who could give her space when needed but cannot live with cats.
Have you got room in your home for Sorrel? A sensitive soul who unfortunately did not get the best start to life meaning she can be a little on the wary side.
Once she trusts you though she loves plenty of fuss. She would need a calm, quiet home with experienced owners who can take their time and let Sorrel settle at her own pace.
Sorrel has lived with other cats before so can share a home with a calm feline as well as older children, but not dogs.
And last but certainly not least is Arnah, she loves getting a bit of a fuss from all the team at the Blue Cross and has started to enjoy games with string toys.
Arnah can live with school aged children but would need to meet at the centre first and see how they get along.
She can share a home with another calm cat but she can’t live with dogs.
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.
