Dozens of delightful cats and dogs are in need of homes in Liverpool and Merseyside, including the most adorable trio of kittens.
While the RSPCA’s Liverpool branch has now closed, dozens of adorable animals are available to adopt in and around Liverpool, through the Wirral and Chester rescue centre (Wallasey) or the Southport, Ormskirk and District centre (Halsall).
A variety of dog breeds and cats of all ages are available, and they would love the chance to find a permanent place to call home as soon as possible.
Below are 12 adorable cats and dogs up for adoption in Merseyside, including pairs of lovely felines who would prefer homes together. Take a look at the gallery and see if you could provide them with a fresh start.

7. Sweet Pea and Djuma
Sweet Pea and Djuma are looking for a place to call home. Sweet Pea is a pure black female with the gentlest nature and is quite fond of a chin tickle. She is unique in that she sports one fang hanging over her bottom lip, which only adds to her beautiful looks and charm. Djuma is black and white and smaller than Sweet Pea. Djuma can be a little more reserved at first, but she soon says hello when Dreamies are around. They are both very affectionate and bubbly. They are both currently at the Wirral & Chester centre. | RSPCA

8. Smithy
Smithy is a ten-year-old Lurcher. Smithy has a few lumps and bumps on his underside which the vet has said are fatty lumps, as a result of this, the RSPCA are looking for Smithy to go to a local foster home so that these can be monitored at the animal centre and would remain under the care of the local vet. He is currently at the RSPCA's Wirral & Chester centre. | RSPCA
