** DAISY ** We are looking for a very special home for our dear girl Daisy. Daisy is a timid little lady, who just needs a quiet home where she can potter around, have fusses & naps. She is now 13 years old, but in good health apart from being overweight! Unfortunately Daisy is not litter trained, so needs a home who can work around this until she can go outside, we believe this is because sadly she was never allowed in the house at her previous home. She needs a home with a tiled conservatory, or a secure lean to, or such like. She does go on paper, but we have not managed to get her to go in a tray. Daisy needs a quiet home, she would make an ideal companion for someone older who is happy just to let her be. she really is a sweetheart who deserves to be loved. If interested please contact us or email her fosterer direct at andreagrenfell@hotmail.com

$** FLAN ** Flan is a very special boy that we are looking to home with his best friend Bunny in/around the Ipswich area. Flan was picked up as a young cat with a bad eye injury. This has healed beautifully and he just has some scarring on his cornea which doesn\'t cause him any issues now, nor should it in the future. Flan is about 3 years old, neutered & chipped. He is a gorgeous big daft lump. Flan & Bunny have formed a bond in the time they have been here, they are both shy with strangers & a bit silly when stressed, so they will need a sanctuary room for as long as required while they settle in. Once fully settled, they will want access to a safe outside space away from busy roads & other dangers. Ideally, they would need an adult only home, but we would consider a home with well mannered, cat savvy children over 12. While he is a big softie, Flan can play a little rough when excited or nervous. They will want to be the only cats, but they could live with other laid back cats if introductions managed very carefully, we will not them with dogs. They really are a special pair that will blossom in the right home. If you think you could offer the home they deserve, please email their fosterer directly at andreagrenfell@hotmail.com, or message our facebook page.$

** HEDGEHOG AND WILBUR ** Hedgehog (due to her mated coat on arrival) and Wilbur are very much a pair. They began life living feral at a chicken factory and are now truly enjoying domestic life. Hedge is approx 3 years old and Wilbur approx 5. Both have now been neutered and chipped. They need a home where they can stay together as are very much a bonded pair. A adult home would suit them as they are going to be upset by their move to a new home. They will need a safe room to start their adventure and will need keeping indoors for many weeks to be sure they are feeling totally at home.

$** MATILDA ** Meet Matilda, our gorgeous golden senior girl. Matilda came to us a few months ago. She was in a terrible condition, having either been living as a stray or neglected by a previous owner. She was so hungry, she practically tried to eat the bowl we put her first dinner in! Matilda has seen the vet & had a dental (she has no teeth left now!), and has had treatment for an awful skin condition on her head, neck & chest that she had on arrival here. At 15 years old, Tilly is a real character. She is very funny, sweet, & loves having fusses but is not a fan of being picked up or cuddled, she swears like a sailor until she is put down! She likes to curl up on the bed in the night for snuggles. Tilly is a bit of a fuss pot with her food, and does enjoy the finest biscuits & pouches, but why not, she deserves them, so any adopter will need to budget for this. We will want to home Tilly to a quiet adult home with no other pets, she does not like other cats & we will assume dogs too. In fact, she just needs to be a spoilt old lady in her dotage, although with her determined character, we suspect she has a few good years left in her. It seems that Tilly has a skin condition very similar to Psoriasis, which we have now got under control, she is on a very low dose steroid at the moment, and may need to stay on it long term or intermittently. We are looking into a homeopathy remedy to help her. This shouldn\'t be particularly expensive to manage, but does need to be taken into consideration. Tilly will want access to a safe outside space once fully settled, & she is very nimble, so this will need to be away from any busy roads or other potential dangers. If you think you can offer Tilly the home she really deserves, please email her fosterer directly, including your address, to andreagrenfell@hotmail.com$

** PHIL AND TED ** Phil & Ted need someone/s very special & very patient to fall in love with them & offer them a home in/around the Ipswich area. Littermates, approx 18 months old, they are ex-ferals who are still learning to trust humans. They love to play, with each other, with toys & with humans that have toys, but are still not ok with being stroked or picked up. This will take time & patience, but we know they will get there as they are already so much more trusting than when they arrived here 10 weeks ago. They will need a sanctuary room that is big enough for them to run around and make their own for many weeks, & they will need to be kept indoors for many months until they are fully settled in, (so that will mean doors & windows shut in the summer). When settled, they will want access to a safe outside space away from busy roads &other possible dangers. Phil & Ted could be homed with other laid back cats, but Ted especially is very full on & expects other cats to play with him on demand, so they may be better suited to being only cats. We will not home them with dogs or younger children under 12. These boys will take some work, but they are worth it. So clever, so funny, so naughty, typical orientals! If you think you can offer these gorgeous boys the home they deserve, please email their fosterer directly at andreagrenfell@hotmail.com, including your address.

** RESERVED ** Busy Lizzie is another exferal girl who has now really found her feet. She is young lady who had been living feral in a garden having kittens and fighting to survive. She is a young lady now neutered and chipped and quite likes feline company. She will also need time to settle in with a safety room to avoid any danger of too early escape but is now happy to be handled here.

** TIM ** Meet Tim. He is a little monster. He is very spoiled & likes his own way. But, he can be very cute when he trusts you & likes to sit on your lap for loves & cuddles. He also likes to play with & chase his toys. Tim is about 2 years old, neutered & chipped. He really needs to be an only cat unless you have a very laid-back cat that is not phased by anything & will not retaliate when Tim winds them up, or a bomb proof kitten! Tim does currently share a room with 2 other cats that he does love, but he is very happy to wind them up & then screams like a girl when either of them give him a wallop! He also gets very jealous when they have thier cuddle time! Because Tim is a feisty little rat bag, can play rough & can be a bit of an ankle biter, we will not home him with children under 14. We are sure he will grow out of this when he has more space & attention & when he is finally allowed outside to play & get rid of some of his energy, so a safe outside space away from busy roads & other potential dangers will be a must, as will a sanctuary room while he settles in. He is a very clever little man with the vocals & temperament of the Egyptian Maus from which he is descended. Tim really just needs to be adopted by someone/s who wants a kitty to be the centre of their world, who is happy to put up with his kitty tantrums & spoil him rotten! Ideally within the Ipswich area. If interested, please email fosterer directly at andreagrenfell@hotmail.com including your address so we can check outside space. Thank you.

** GINGER AND BUMBLE ** Sadly, Ginger and Bumble are again looking for a new home. They have been returned to us, through absolutely no fault of their own. They are lovely boys, but ex feral so time and patience still needed. Ginger had really started to find his feet after just a few weeks in a home, Bumble is much more reserved. There next home must be their forever home as they don't cope well with so much change and just need a safe place to settle down. A safe room will be essential to them and absolutely no access to outside life for many weeks to come. They are approx 3 yrs old. A devoted couple who will not be split.

** RENEE (and Bilbo) ** Renee is one of our ex feral girls, she would love a new home. She would like a feline companion and would be very happy to pair up with our Bilbo. Renee came to us last year with a litter of kittens and has of course now been spayed and chipped and blood tested for FIV/Felv, she is approx 2 years old.

** BILBO (and Renee) ** Bilbo is also neutered and chipped and blood tested and is approx 3 yrs old. Being feral they need an adopter willing to give them time to settle into their new home, a safe room to start off in and gentle encouragement to gain their trust. They do make a lovely pair, and Renee certainly does like the boys.

** KITTENS ** This little family of 4 are shortly going to be in need of new homes currently only about 5 weeks old. They were born feral so are going through rehab and will be available for homing in a few weeks time. Our kittens are generally homed in pairs so that they have a playmate, they will not be homed on or near busy roads.

** TINY AND BOOTS ** Tiny and Boots are two more of the cats rescued from a colony in Ipswich that we are currently working on. They have had a hard life running around in the feeders garden with around 20 more other cats. Poor Tiny has had too many kittens the majority of which died. She tested positive for toxoplasmosis when she arrived and so does have limited sight in one eye Boots blood test showed that he had contact toxoplasmosis but did not need treatment. They have both now been neutered and tested negative for FIV andF/elv and given a clean bill of health. They are both young cats of approx 2 years old, they could in fact be siblings but we have no way of knowing that. Although still very shy of strangers they are now finding their feet, but will need time and patience to settle into their new home. They need a quiet home without dogs or children so that they can relax and adjust to a new life'

** LOKI ** Loki is a young lad of around 1 year old. He has been neutered, blood tested and chipped. Loki began life feral on a poultry farm, but is now totally adjusted to domestic life. He is initially shy but learning to be a lap cat and enjoys a gentle brush. He will need access to a safe outside space when happily settled in. A lovely boy who would benefit and enjoy the company of another cat.

** RESERVED ** Teddy and Patches need a home where they can stay together as they are very much a bonded pair. Teddy is a neutered male of approx 4 years old and just loves everyone and is desperate for cuddles. Patches is just 2 years old also neutered, blood tested and chipped. She is more reserved than Teddy but gets lots of confidence from him. They have both been living rough in a colony in Ipswich that we are clearing and are ready for a new life. They could live with other cats and older children. They will need to be kept indoors until totally settled and trusting of their new home.

** LEONA ** Leona is a lovely neutered older lady of 9 yrs old, who sadly needs a new home through no fault of her own. She is a homely girl who just wants cuddles. Her world fell apart when 2 dogs moved in, she has never accepted them and just spends all of her time upstairs. So we are looking for a quiet home with no other pets or young children so that she can have the peace she so craves.

$** RESERVED ** Renni is a handsome black Domestic short hair cat who came to us as a stray. This poor boy has never had a home to call his own but his luck may change as he is now looking for his perfect home! Renni is 1 years old. Unfortunately as he was a stray we don\'t know much about his past however he was a very scared boy when he got here. He has now grown in confidence and enjoys and cuddle on his own terms. Renni is looking for a quieter home where after settling in he will have access outdoors. He is litter tray trained and eats a mix or wet and dry. Renni Loves to play in his tunnel and enjoys s good game with a teaser toy. He could live with cat savvy older children but we feel he would be better as an only pet. Is this handsome lad the cat you are looking for?$
