Dozens of adorable cats and dogs are looking for homes around Merseyside.
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 15 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.

9. Wellies and Boots - cats
Wellies and Boots are a quiet, gentle pair of cats who have never known the comfort of a loving home. Though they may be a bit shy at first, their bond with each other is undeniable, and with time, they will respond to a safe, caring environment. Location: Wirral & Chester branch. | RSPCA

10. Teddy and Andy Pandy - cats
Teddy and Andy Pandy are a pair of cats looking for a home. These two would be best suited into a quieter environment as it will likely take them a few weeks to settle in. Location: Wirral & Chester branch. | RSPCA
