Soft paws, big heart, quiet vibes 💙

At around 1 year and 8 months old, Harrison has come a long way from a rough start in life. He can be a little shy and cautious, especially with loud noises or sudden movements, but beneath that reserved exterior is a sweet, affectionate cat who’s learning to trust again.

Harrison enjoys gentle strokes and prefers to come to you for attention rather than being approached for cuddles. Once he feels safe, he’ll happily soak up affection at his own pace. He’s been mixing well with other cats in care and would do fine in a home with another calm, friendly feline companion.

He’s fully vaccinated, neutered and ready to find his forever home, ideally a quiet, peaceful environment with no dogs and plenty of love.

With patience and kindness, Harrison will blossom into a loyal and loving friend who’ll always be there, quietly reminding you how far a little love can go. 😻

Arlo: A heart as big as his snoot 💙

This handsome 5-year-old hound is full of life, curiosity and charm. Like most foxhounds, Arlo thrives in an active home where he can stretch his long legs, follow his nose, and get all the exercise and enrichment he needs.

He’s looking for a family with time, space and a secure garden, where he can explore safely and relax afterwards with his favourite people. Arlo would love a home that understands hounds and can match his energy with love and patience.

If you’re ready for adventures, cuddles, and plenty of personality, Arlo could be the perfect new addition to your life. 🐶

This week's #HappyTail is from Steve who adopted Catelyn 2 years ago. 😻

Here's how Catelyn is getting on:

He's come a long way, this one 💙

When Oakley first arrived, he was underweight, suffering from mange, and unsure of everything around him. But with time, patience and care, he’s transformed. His coat is healthy, his spirit is healing, and he’s learning that people can be kind.

Oakley is a quiet, sensitive boy who thrives in calm environments. He may be shy at first, but once he trusts you, he’s affectionate, loyal and deeply sweet. He loves gentle walks, soft pats and quiet company.

He’s now ready for a home where he can feel safe, go at his own pace, and continue blossoming into the happy, loving dog he was always meant to be. 🐶
