Eleven-year-old Pip has been in the centre three times since 2021 after her previous owners change in circumstances meant they could no longer care for her. Her last owner became too ill so signed her back over to the centre in February.
Perhaps because of her unsettled life, Pip is not a fan of being picked up, but she loves a fuss and a stroke. She can be a sensitive soul at times and is wary of loud noises or sudden movements, so a quiet home without children and other pets is needed. Pip will also need to continue on her special urinary diet food, which is easily available.
At just five years old, black and white Delta has already found herself homeless three times, with staff and volunteers at the centre stepping in each time to become surrogate carers, offering her the time and patience she needs. Delta is also on a urinary diet, which she will need to stay on.
Delta found living in her last home stressful and it was discovered that children and another cat was not an ideal environment for a nervous cat triggered by loud noises.
Derbyshire Cat Centre Manager Helen Wood said: “Delta is an independent lady who wants attention on her own terms and likes to be left to her own devices. She has never been given the chance to settle anywhere long-term and we feel that if she is given the opportunity, she will make a lovely companion.”
Furball Rosemary’s previous adoption did not work out through no fault of her own. Blessed with a sassy personality, the six-year-old requires an experienced cat owner who can gauge when she is in a playful mood or when she wants to be left alone. She will also need help grooming her magnificent white and black coat.
Helen said: “The majority of the time our cats end up with the perfect fit but with over 1,000 cats being adopted from here every year, unfortunately sometimes it just doesn’t work out. It can be extremely unsettling for these cats to find themselves back in care but it is often unavoidable. We will now do our best to find these cats homes where they will be able to stay forever.”
