1. Norris
Norris is a very nervous but gentle cat. It takes time for him to build trust but once he does you'll realise he's a very sweet boy. Ideally he'll be housed without other animals. | RSPCA

2. 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

3. Skittle
Skittle is a sweet, affectionate older cat who would love to find a permanent home. | RSPCA

4. Cupid - Siberian Husky
Cupid is a big friendly one-year-old Siberian Husky. He's looking to go to a home where his owners have had Husky experience, so that they really understand him and his little quirks. He is ideally looking to have his parents be at home with him for most of the day so he can have some company and get plenty of energy out. Cupid may be able to live with another dog, but will not be able to live with a cat. He will also be able to live with dog-savvy children who are 12+ and used to being around big dogs. | RSPCA
