Re-homing Pets<br />
Can you offer a home to any of our featured pets?<br />
Norman - 2 year-old cat<br />
Norman came into the branch as a stray<br />
and is looking to find his “forever” family.<br />
He’s a shy, quiet cat who likes head rubs<br />
and is looking for a nice quiet home that<br />
Norman has no children or any other pets.<br />
Connor - 2 year-old domestic short-hair<br />
Connor is a big cat who will want outdoor access in his new<br />
home, and has been used to living with other cats in the<br />
past. He will gain confidence in his new home with lots of<br />
loving care.<br />

Meatball – male Syrian<br />
hamster<br />
Meatball is very inquisitive and loves seeing what’s<br />
Meatball<br />
going on around him. He is a cheeky boy who is happy<br />
to say hello but is not used to being handled so would like a patient<br />
owner who will not fuss over him too much and allow him time to come<br />
out of his shell. Meatball would love a big cage with lots of tunnels and<br />
bridges for him to explore!<br />
Apollo<br />
Apollo – male milk snake<br />
Apollo is a young milk snake who is full of life. He enjoys<br />
spending time exploring outwith his vivarium. Due to his<br />
age, Apollo would make a fantastic first snake for someone<br />
as he is so well handled. He’s looking for a home in which his new owner<br />
can spend lots of time with him to ensure he stays well socialised.<br />

Roxy – 8+ year-old female<br />
crossbreed<br />
Roxy is a really sweet and lively older<br />
girl. She is looking for a quiet retirement<br />
home where she can lap up all the attention she<br />
Roxy<br />
has missed from home life. She loves to be in the<br />
company of people and is looking for a home with older children. She<br />
does get on with other dogs but needs careful introductions as she is<br />
rather noisy when she sees them. For this reason we would like her<br />
to go to an area where there aren’t many dogs around so she doesn’t<br />
get frustrated. Having some experience of owning a dog is required<br />
because of this. She would love a garden to potter in which should be<br />
secure with a 4ft fence. Roxy will need to meet her new owners a few<br />
times before she can go home.<br />
Spiderman – 5 to 7 year-old man Lurcher<br />
Spiderman is a really sweet boy who just loves people!<br />
He loves leaning in for a scratch behind the ear or the<br />
base of his tail and even does a little tip toe dance if<br />
you get the right spot. He is pretty strong so will need<br />
Spiderman<br />
someone who can physically manage him on a walk.<br />
There is limited history on Spiderman as he came from a stray pound.<br />
He is looking to live in a home with children over 10 years old due to his<br />
big bouncy nature. He would benefit from living in a home with people<br />
who have owned sight hounds before and are happy to continue his<br />
training. He needs careful introduction to any new doggy friends and<br />
couldn’t live with any other small pets such as cats. Spiderman would<br />
prefer to have someone around most of the day to settle him in, he may<br />
be left for a couple hours at a time after he has started to settle in. It<br />
would be best to meet a few times before he goes to his new home.<br />
