The Pedigree Topic
There has been a bit of discussion online regarding Ragdolls amongst other breeds within rescue. We have seen comments even accusing some rescues of "breeding" the pedigree cats for a "quick gain". In the years we have been open, we have had Ragdolls, Bengals, Maine Coons, Russian Blues amongst many other breeds. Sadly, this has diverted the attention of the narrow minded minority from helping the cats, and instead aiming their attentions at slandering a number of rescues.
Our one and only concern, is to focus on finding all of our fur babies their purr-fect forever home. In our eyes, they are all cats, and all require our help regardless of their breed.
George and Mildred
George and Mildred are a loveable, loving and entertaining pair. These two arrived in with us in good health and have been thriving since. They love to play, love to cuddle up and love interaction with their humans.
George and Mildred are bonded and do show a sense of reliance upon each other, therefore we are looking for a home where they can remain together.
They are good with other cats/kittens, fine with children but have not been dog tested.
Morgan
Morgan arrived at Special Paws several weeks after giving birth. She was surrendered in to rescue along with her kittens, who are all now thriving in their forever homes. Morgan is an adorable young girl who loves nothing more than cuddles and interaction. From the minute she arrived with us, Morgan has shown how she loves to be cradled and rocked like a baby, showing pure content when she is doing so.
Morgan has shown nothing but pure love and affection for her foster family, and is now seeking her forever family. This young girl would suit a home where someone is at home a lot, or she has a kitty play friend to help keep her occupied. Morgan isn't a fan of being alone and does let out little meows to seek comfort and attention. This little lady is perfect with children, amazing with other cats and is used to the scent of dogs but has not been dog tested.
Bubbles and Bear
Bubbles and Bear arrived with us after a member of the public had reported them being abandoned and living in poor conditions. With the permission of the original owner, these beautiful babies were surrendered across to us. As they are only babies, they were still with their Mum, however, she is now in the care of the finder.
Bubbles and Bear did arrive with upset tummies, this confirmed why their conditions of living were so poor. After some treatment and a change of diet, we have slowly began helping their tummies and settling them. They are now gradually gaining weight to get back to the weight they should be at their age.
Bubbles and Bear arrived with us and were understandably quite scared. Their foster family have slowly shown them it's okay and that they're now going to receive the love and care they truly deserve.
They have turned a major corner, from the once scared little beans, to a loveable duo who love nothing more than cuddles and attention.
These two have been used to the scent and sounds of a dog, but have not been tested within close proximity, they're amazing with children of all ages and would ideally suit a home where they can receive plenty of love and interaction.
Heather
Meet the lovely Heather who has been with her foster Mummy for 8 weeks while she raised her kittens. She is a calm and loving girl who wants nothing more than to be close to humans. When left alone she will call out for company with her soft meows. Heather loves to share a treat and to roll around in catnip. She also shows a playful side and enjoys toys. This Mum has done a brilliant job at caring for babies and now it is her time to be spoilt
Heather came in to us shortly after having babies outdoors. She adapted to rescue life instantly and became very trusting with humans.
Heather has been used to the scent of dogs, but has not been tested in close proximity. She is fine with children and would benefit from being in a home where she can have plenty of interaction.
Sweetpea
Name: Sweetpea
Gender: Female
Age: 10 weeks (30/06)
PLEASE NOTE: Sweetpea has previously had the herpes virus, this can flare up in future with symptoms varying. For this reason, Sweetpea can only be rehomed as an only cat, or with a cat friend who has also had the herpes virus.
Sweetpea was found in a local allotments along with 2 of her siblings. As the only survivor from the litter, Sweetpea has been medicated for the feline herpes virus. Sweetpea has been hand-reared by one of our amazing kitten foster homes since she was one day old after being rejected by her Mum. She has grown in to a happy, playful kitten who loves nothing more than human interaction and is very reliant on her chosen human. She loves to play, followed by the occasional nap. If you are seeking a kitten who won't leave your lap, Sweetpea is the one for you!
Scruffy
Name: Scruffy
Gender: Male
Age: 10 weeks (30/06)
Please note: Scruffy is also a herpes virus carrier. For this reason, he would need to be rehomed as an only cat, or in a home with a friend who is already a herpes virus carrier.
Scruffy arrived with us after being discovered on a window ledge. His illness soon became apparent under assessment with his main symptom being watery eyes. With the application of some antibacterial eye cream, this soon clears up but does reoccur every now and then. Despite this, Scruffy has always maintained his playful, happy personality with his foster Mum. Scruffy was hand-reared from 4 weeks old due to rejection from his Mum so is rather reliant on his human.
TT
Name - TT
Gender - Male
Age - 12-15 years
TT was originally a stray cat, taken in by one of our beloved foster familys' and given a new lease of life. TT has been shown nothing but love whilst in the care of his forever family. Sadly, TT's Dad suddenly passed, leaving a massive hole in TT and the Special Paws teams hearts.
Comments from TT's foster Mum:
TT is a gorgeous Tom cat who, despite looking slightly grumpy in his photos, has a very soft soul. Upon his initial arrival, TT was very reserved, but soon began to settle on in. TT loves his food, a nice brush and soaking in the sun in the catio. He is truly a loving boy who would love to be the center of attention in his new home.
TT would ideally suit an older couple seeking a companion, in quiet and calm surroundings. For this reason, we won't be able to accept applications for TT in homes with young children. TT is not dog tested, however, TT would be absolutely fine with one or two feline friends, so long as he has plenty of space to have peace.
Simon
Simon is now coming up to 9 weeks old and is siblings with Shaun (below). He is now coming up to 9 weeks old. They was born outdoors, but was soon brought into us along with their Mum, Shelley (above). As a litter of 3, Simon and Shauns' sister isn't quite ready yet and is being held back due to being quite small compared to her big brothers. Simon loves play time and cuddles!
Shaun
Shaun is slightly more outgoing than his brother and, as with most kittens, absolutely loves and thrives off play time and cuddle time. He is a BIG fan of human interaction.
If a home can't be found for them together, we would consider applications individually to homes where they will receive the attention and socializing that they desperately crave.
MeeMee and MooMoo
MeeMee and MooMoo were surrendered to us through no fault of their own, and since they arrived with us have shown nothing but love and appreciation. They truly do crave love and attention, and will wake you up in the morning to receive it. They are more than happy lounging on your bed if you're busy, and will be waiting for you the minute you get back in bed. They are absolutely amazing with children and other cats, but have not been dog tested. MeeMee and MooMoo would suit a busy household, but would be absolutely fine in a quiet household too.
Tango and Cash
Tango and Cash recently arrived in to us in perfect health. They instantly loved cuddles and affection. Tango and Cash were born in the same sack, and are truly identical twins!
They are amazing with children and other cats, but have not been dog tested. Tango and Cash would suit a quiet home where they have plenty of space to run and play.
As Tango and Cash are identical twins and have remained together since birth, we would only be looking to rehome these two together so they can stay in their forever homes for life.
Zuko and Jennie
Zuko and Jennie arrived with us when they was approximately 7 weeks old. They arrived in amazing shape and had clearly been looked after. They instantly shown trust and reliance in their humans. You need to be careful with these two, as they will happily sit at your feet whilst you're cooking dinner or washing the pots! They love being near their human, but also have a tendency to find the sneakiest hiding places you'd never imagine to look.
Zuko and Jennie are used to the sound and smell of dogs, but have not been tested within close proximity. They are amazing with children of all ages and would ideally suit a home where they can receive a lot of love and attention.
Zuko and Jennie arrived with us together and have been inseparable since, we would love to find a home for these where they could remain together.
Petal
Petal’s foster Mum took her home less than an hour after she was dropped off at the rescue. Having lived outside she was very timid and nervous about human contact. Over the weeks she has become more confident and settled. She now likes to be stroked and brushed by her foster Mum but is not a lap cat yet. This beautiful girl will settle with a new family and another cat if needed. Her foster Mum thinks she will soon snuggle up on the sofa with her new owners… she just needs a little love and time.
Petal is used to the sounds and scents of dogs, but has not been dog tested. Petal has not been tested with children, so we would advise Petal is adopted by confident people with no children, or older children who won't be hands on.
