150 day homeless cats in bid to find forever home

Blue Cross in Topcliffe, Thirsk is calling out to animal lovers to find a new home for a pair of cats who have been in their care for almost 150 days, more than five times longer than the average cat looking for a home at Blue Cross.

Georgina Pieri, Adoptions Coordinator at Blue cross in Thirsk said: "We don't know why these cats have been overlooked for so long. We understand people may be put off taking on a pair of cats with one have a health issue, which is totally manageable. They really deserve to find their forever home and we hope they do soon. We are trying out best to find their perfect match."

Kovu and Piglet are a delightful duo looking for a loving home where they can thrive together. This lovely pair previously lived in a busy household, where they were confident and affectionate. Piglet, the more adventurous of the two, loves to sit with his people enjoying a fuss while Kovu tends to observe her from his cozy spot he is becoming more eager for attention.

Kovu does have a heart murmur, so potential adopters should consider this when providing care. With time and patience, we believe this charming pair will flourish in a safe, dedicated space where they can settle in comfortably. A quiet room would be ideal for them to acclimate and explore their new environment at their own pace.

Kovu and Piglet have both shown they can adapt to life with young children, though Piglet may take a moment to warm up. They have a strong bond with each other and would benefit from a home where they can share their love and joy as they continue to come out of their shells. If potential owners can provide them with the nurturing environment they deserve, Kovu and Piglet will reward them with their affectionate companionship.

With the increasing demand for Blue Cross pet welfare services, the charity needs the support of animal lovers to continue its work helping pets and their people, in any way they can. Whether that's by donating to keep rehoming and veterinary services going through these tough times, fundraising for Blue Cross, providing foster care for pets while loving new homes are found, volunteering at pet food banks, or signing up to support Blue Cross campaigns for better pet welfare. www.bluecross.org.uk
