1. Shelley
Shelley is a one-year-old cat. She has a sweet and gentle nature, making her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate feline friend. | RSPCA

2. Kevin
Kevin is a three-year-old Terrier crossbreed. He will require an adult only home who have experience with rescue dogs and are willing to take him to training classes. | RSPCA

3. Cali - Crossbreed
Cali is a four year old cross breed, who is looking for her forever home. She will be perfectly suited to an active family home - with other pets - where she can be involved in days out and be a part of the family. She will need to have access to a garden where she can play and spend time sitting in the sun. | RSPCA

4. Zorro
Zorro is a very friendly, and affectionate boy who seeks out affection after a few minutes. He really enjoys being around people, so ideally would like his new family to be around part of the day to be on hand for love and attention and in return he has so much love to give. | RSPCA
