Recently rehomed cats

Charley - is a white, longhaired, Persian type male cat about 7 years old. He was originally a stray so we do not know a lot about his background but he does not like children so needs a home with adults only and probably without other cats . Layla - is a lovely, friendly tabby female cat, 5 years old. She originally came into our care because her owner moved into a flat and she was unhappy about not being able to go outside. Layla would probably make a good family pet with older children. Maisie - is a 6 year old tortoiseshell cat who needs a home without young children or other cats. Maisie is a friendly and affectionate cat who loves to be stroked and made a fuss of but being a typical tortie will let you know when she wants to be left alone! Fleur - is a 12 year old black and white cat who is to be rehomed under our Golden Oldie scheme which means that TVAW will pay for any reasonable veterinary treatment Fleur may need in the future. Fleur is a friendly cat but is used to a quiet home with an elderly lady. Millie - is a really affectionate black and white cat, about 18 months old. She has lived with other cats and children but would probably appreciate a home where she is the centre of attention! Ellie - is a friendly tortoiseshell cat who came to us in December with 4 kittens. The kittens have all been found good new homes. Ellie has been spayed but is still eagerly waiting for a home of her own. Frankie - is a very friendly cat who was a stray in Reading. We think he is about 8 years old. He was in a pretty poor state when he arrived but is responding very well to treatment and should be ready for a new home very soon. Bobby - was a young stray cat who has been tested for FIV/FeLV and neutered. He is a friendly boy but possibly too excitable for very young children. A family home with older children might be ideal for him Paulo and Nino - are 11 month old brothers, very large, slightly oriental looking cats who need a new home after becoming jealous of a new baby in the family. They are fairly shy at the moment but basically friendly cats and should soon settle in a new home. Felix - is a lovely young male cat, just over 12 months old. Felix is very lively and really adores people. He is jealous of any attention given to other cats so needs a home on his own. Felix is an intelligent cat and would soon become bored if left alone all day. Lily & Harvey - are beautiful 8 month old tabby brother and a tortie sister cats. They have had a difficult start in life so need a fairly quiet home with a family with time to devote to them. We also have Timmy and Honey, another pair of tabby brother and sister cats from the same litter, also looking for a loving home together. Teddy - was a stray cat in Caversham. He is a very friendly black male cat, probably about 4 years old. He has been tested for FIV/FeLV and neutered and is waiting for that special home to call his own Georgie - is a young black male cat who had a very unhappy start in life having been rejected by his owners while still a kitten. Georgie was turned out and left to beg for food from neighbours. He is very timid with strangers but very affectionate once he gets to know you. He needs a quiet home with someone who will give him time to develop his trust in his new owner. He will also need time to get used to living in a house again and learn to understand that he is welcome there. Misty - is a very friendly tortoiseshell and white cat who appears to have been abandoned when her owners moved house. We think she is about 6 years old. Archie - is a 6 year old tabby and white cat. He is a very big cat but very much a gentle giant. As he's a bit of a couch potato he needs an owner who will encourage him to take more exercise! Archie does not like small children but he's a cat with lots of personality and wants to be the centre of attention. Laki and Blinky - are a pair of 2 year old tortoiseshell sisters. They are lovely, friendly cats but are not used to young children. Smudge - is a 5 year old, petite dark tortoiseshell. She is a very friendly cat but because of earlier experiences needs a home without young children. Ruby - was a stray who was brought to us as a heavily pregnant female cat. However, after an examination and a dose of wormer her rounded tummy proved to be the result of a very heavy burden of worms, not a litter of kittens! Ruby is a very affectionate semi-longhaired black cat. We think she is about 3 years old. Emmy Lou and Florence - both torties, Emmy Lou is one year old and Florence is 3 years old. They are lovely, friendly cats and need a home together. Polly - is a very pretty and affectionate 7 year old cat who needs a home without other cats. She loves being made a fuss of and would make a very good family pet. Jasmine - is a 9 year old British Blue Shorthair. She is friendly (despite the look on her face in the photo!) but needs a quiet home without other animals. Poppet - is a lovely young black and white female. She was originally a stray but when we traced her owner they did not want to have her back again so she has been spayed and now needs a new home. Lucy, Lilly and Layla - are a group of three female cats who have come to us from the same home. Ideally we would like to rehome them together but if that is not possible then perhaps Lucy could be rehomed on her own. Lucy is a black and two year old, Lilly is black and 12 months old while Layla is 18 months old and white and black. All three cats are friendly once they get to know you but can be shy with strangers. They are a lovely group of female cats who get along together very well, especially Lilly and Layla. Fizz - is a 4 year old white and tabby female cat. She is very affectionate and loves people but does not want to share her home with other cats. Tootsie - is a 2 year old grey and white female cat who came to us with two kittens which has now been found a good home. Tootsie is a lovely affectionate cat. She will be looking for a new home as soon as she has been spayed. Midnight - is a black male cat who came to us as a stray. He required extensive dental work and treatment for a gum infection but he is now well, although lacking most of his teeth! We think Midnight is at least 10 years old. He is very friendly and talkative and would make a good companion. Simba - is an all white male cat aged 12 who will be rehomed under our "Golden Oldie" scheme meaning that TVAW will pay for all reasonable veterinary costs in the future should he develop a health problem. Although he is white he is not deaf. He has lived with children and a dog and is a lovely, friendly cat. Dizzy - is a long haired black and white female cat. She is a very friendly, talkative cat who loves company although not small children. She has lived with another cat but would probably be happier on her own. Dizzy was acquired seven years ago from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home but has not been happy following the arrival of young children in the family. Dizzy's new owner will have to groom her regularly - which she enjoys. Percy - is a handsome black cat with lovely green eyes. He came to us originally as a stray so we are not sure about his age - perhaps 5 years old. He was rehomed but did not settle there. Percy adores people but is very jealous of other cats. He needs a home where there are no other cats (although a dog might be a possibility) and ideally owners who are not out at work all day. If he gets lonely he will go and seek out human company! A family home in the country would be ideal for him. Fudge - is a gorgeous, affectionate 16 month old longhaired brown tabby and white female cat. She is a lovely cat who likes to be around people but we think she would be best in a home without any other animals. Harry - was left behind when his owners moved away. He is a dark grey colour and probably about 3 years old. He is a very friendly, playful cat but is frightened of very young children. He would probably suit a family with older children. Tess - is a very friendly longhaired tabby and white cat who was left behind when her owners moved away. We believe she is about 3 years old. She was terrorised by a dog in her old home so needs a home without dogs. Pepper and Mercedes - are a lovely pair of one year old black sister cats. They have been used to an indoor home but would probably appreciate the chance to explore a garden. Ruggy - is a quiet, friendly lap cat. She is 10 years old, black and longhaired. Ruggy is in very good health and would make a wonderful companion. "Old Lady" - is a tabby female whose elderly owner has died. As she was a stray originally we are guessing at her age but we think she is about 12 years old. She is in good health and is a possible candidate for our Golden Oldie scheme under which financial help is available for future veterinary care. Hilary - is homeless because her elderly owner has been admitted to a care home. Hilary is a lovely lapcat and would probably appreciate another quiet home. We think she is about 12 years old. She is in good health and is a possible candidate for our Golden Oldie scheme under which financial help is available for future veterinary care. Boots and Ruby - are a pair of lovely two year olds. Boots is a pretty tabby while Ruby is black. They are very fond of each other and like to spend time cuddled up to each other. Boots and Ruby are gentle but playful cats. Jade - came to us from the same home as Boots and Ruby but might appreciate a home on her own. She is a black one year old female cat. Although she is not very keen on being picked up she loves to play and be fussed. Jake and Molly - are a pair of 8 year old cats who need a home together. Jake is a large, longhaired tabby who is a polydactyl (extra toes on his feet); Molly is a large tabby and white shorthaired cat. They are both very much lapcats and would make very good companions. Minnie - is a tiny, very sweet black female who is probably about 10 to 12 months old. She was a stray, found with her leg through her collar. The collar was so tight it caused a nasty wound under her leg and left her barely able to swallow any food she could find. Minnie has recovered well from her ordeal and has been spayed but for some reason she is very frightened of men. Minnie therefore needs a home without any men and probably young children as well! Jingle - is a handsome 9 year old black and white male cat. He needs a home without any other cats although he may be happy living with a quiet dog. We do not think he would be suitable for a home with young children. Lucy - is an unusual cat. She was originally found abandoned in a cardboard box with two kittens last year. The kittens were rehomed, Lucy was spayed and she was eventually rehomed. Unfortunately the new owners already had a female cat and despite the owners best efforts the two cats just did not get on. So Lucy is homeless again. We think that Lucy is about 2 years old and must have some type of oriental breeding in her background. She is a lovely, friendly, talkative cat who now needs a home without other cats. Bootsy - is an extremely lively boy, highly intelligent and a real character. Bootsy was originally taken to a vet by his owners who wanted to get rid of him, possibly by having him put to sleep. We were contacted and agreed to take him as, luckily for him, we had a space free. We think he is about 14 months old. Bootsy has been tested for FIV/FeLV and neutered. Although he probably would not like to live with another cat, expecting to be the centre of attention, he might enjoy the company of a dog. Alfie and Georgie - a lovely pair of 3 year old cats, brother and sister. Alfie is black and white while Georgie is tabby and white. Their coats are semi-longhaired. Both enjoy being groomed although their coats are not the type to matt easily. However, Georgie does shed hair very easily. They are very small cats but enjoy hunting. They can be quite shy at first but very friendly once they get to know you. A quiet home would probably suit them best. Sooty and Gizmo -are a pair of 12 month old male cats who need a home together. Sooty is all black while Gizmo is black and white. They are lovely, friendly cats. Tommy - was a long term stray in Reading. He was entering houses through cat flaps to find food and generally making a nuisance of himself. We provided a trap and Tommy was soon caught, tempted by some tasty food. He was blood tested for FeLV/FIV and neutered and then collected from the vet by our fosterer. The photo shows him soon after he arrived. He's a much happier looking cat now but he's had a hard life and it shows. We think he is about 9 or 10 years old. If you want to "rescue" a cat Tommy is the one for you! Chess - is a large, handsome 3 year old longhaired black and white male cat. He is very much a gentle giant and would make a good pet for a family with older children. Chess will need to be groomed regularly. Cuddles - is a 2 year old "calico" tortoiseshell. She is a lovely, friendly cat, very playful but is easily frightened. We think she would be very happy to live with another young cat, preferably a neutered male. Tom and Gerrie - are a pair of black 3 year old brother and sister cats whose owner has emigrated. They are both very friendly but Gerrie is frightened by young children. Lulu - is a two year old tabby cat. She is terrified of children but as long as she cannot see or hear any children she is friendly and playful. Biscuit - is a 2 year old dark tortoiseshell female cat. She is a little overweight at the moment and will need to go on a diet! Biscuit is friendly but has been used to a quiet home with a single man so may not suit a family. Sugar and Spice - are two pretty tortoiseshell female cats, between 2 and 3 years old. They are lovely, friendly cats and need a home together. Poppy - is a 10 month old tortoiseshell and white cat. She is rather shy at the moment and would probably appreciate a quiet home without other animals. The photo shows a sleepy Poppy soon after she was spayed. Tabatha and Salem - are 8 year old brother and sister cats. Tabatha is black and white while Salem is all black. They are very scared of young children due to their recent experiences and would be best in a quite home. Although they have lived all their life in a flat they are showing great interest in the outside and would probably appreciate the chance to explore. Alfred - was a stray in Reading. He's a large black cat, probably about 2 or 3 years old. He has been bloodtested for FIV/FeLV and neutered and now needs a home of his own. Kit - is a large 2 year old tabby male. He is very friendly and has lived with a dog. Bella - is a beautiful black and white cat, probably about 18 months old. She came to us from an industrial site where she had raised two kittens. The kittens have been rehomed. Bella has been spayed and is now ready for a new home. Leo - is a friendly white cat with lovely blue eyes ( not deaf!). He was left behind when his owners moved and was in a pretty awful state when we took him in. He has been blood tested for FeLV/FIV, neutered, and treated for ticks, worms and fleas with which he was heavily infested. He is now putting on weight with three good meals a day and is ready for a new home but probably without other cats or young children. Polly and Bubbles - are 12 year old tabby and white sisters who are exceptionally friendly, very much lap cats and used to children. Freddy, Felix and Flash - are three black and white young male cats who need a home. We would like to be able to rehome them together but as that is unlikely to happen they will probably have to be rehomed as a pair with one going, hopefully, to a home where there is another young cat. Molly & Millie - are 6 month old dark tortoiseshell sisters who are very friendly and are looking for a home together. William and Monty- are big, cuddly, tabby brothers. We think they are about 7 years old. They have only just arrived and are rather worried about no longer being wanted and ending up in a rescue. They really are just two gentle giants. Tash - is a part Burmese semi-longhaired tabby female. Tash is 15 years old and is now homeless following the sudden death of her owner. Tash is a small cat but very lively. She still enjoys hunting and generally being out and about. She is very vocal and loves company but is jealous of other cats. In view of Tash's age she will be rehomed under our "Golden Oldie" scheme which means that financial help will be available for any future veterinary treatment. Tabatha - a one year old longhaired tabby girl who is very friendly. Polly and Bubbles - a pair of 12 year old tabby and white sisters who are very much lap cats. They are used to children so would make great family pets. They are to be rehomed together. Oliver - a handsome young ginger and white cat who was a stray in Reading. He is very friendly and loves people. A great character. Blu and Lennox - are 8 years old brother and sister. They have always lived as indoor cats but as they are overweight they might benefit from getting some outdoor exercise! Mikka - is a 6 month old black female with a silky coat and a fine plume of a tail. She is very friendly, gets on with other cats and would make a good family pet. Pippa - is a tiny one year old short haired black female cat. Although she can be a little timid until she knows you she is a lovely, friendly cat. Tom - is a 9 year old ginger boy who will need a new home shortly when his owners move and cannot take him with them. He can be a little timid until he gets to know you but after that he's a real character and loves people. Buffy - is a gentle, playful and affectionate four year old female cat. Buffy would probably make a very good family pet but would not be happy living with dogs. She is a very good hunter so her new owner would not have to mind the odd mouse or two being brought back home! Poppy - is a lovely, longhaired, 3 year old black cat. Although longhaired her coat is very fine and does not matt but she will need some grooming. Poppy is a sensitive soul who is very friendly once she gets to know you and would make a very good companion. She would be best rehomed to a quiet home without children or other animals. Lucy - is a pretty grey and beige cat, about 18 months old. She was found dumped in a cardboard box along with several young kittens earlier this year. All of Lucy's kittens have now been found good homes and Lucy has been spayed. She is a very friendly, chatty cat and loves company but would probably be happiest in a home without other cats or dogs. Merlin - is a very friendly and playful 8 month old male cat. Being white and blue eyed Merlin is deaf. He has always lived indoors and being deaf we would like to rehome him as an indoor cat for his own safety. Merlin is a young, energetic cat who would be happy living with children. His long coat does need brushing regularly but he enjoys this. Albert - is one of our "Golden Oldie" cats. A long term stray in Reading, he was caught, blood tested, neutered and his few remaining teeth removed! Albert is tabby and probably about 12/13 years old. After spending such a long time as a stray he deserves a good home for his retirement. Financial help will be available with any future veterinary costs. Toffee - is a friendly ginger male, about 12 years old. Toffee is used to a country home and likes to be out and about in good weather. In view of his age we will be rehoming Toffee as a "Golden Oldie" cat which means that financial help will be available with any future veterinary costs. Daisy - is a "special needs" cat. She is now 9 years old but when she was a kitten her left front leg grew to be about 2 inches longer than her right leg. Daisy can walk well enough and does not have any problems health-wise but she cannot climb trees or fences. Because of her disability she prefers to use a litter tray indoors. Daisy is a lovely, friendly cat who would be happy either as an indoor cat or with some access to a secure garden. She loves people and would probably prefer a quiet home where someone is at home much of the time. She would not be happy living with other cats or dogs. Leo - is a young ginger male cat who was a stray in Reading. He has been neutered and is now ready for a new home. He's a very friendly boy but probably needs a home without any other cats. Lucy - is a young female cat who came to us with two kittens. Her kittens have now been rehomed. Lucy is only about a year old and very playful. She would make a very good family pet. Freya - is a very young, friendly black cat who needs a home with her daughter Guinness who is about 10 weeks old and black and white. Sparkle - is a black and white female kitten, about 5 months old. She was found wandering the streets of Reading in a very poor condition. She was wearing a very tight collar but with no id, was thin and hungry and full of worms and fleas. She is being treated and will be ready for a new home as soon as she has been spayed. Despite everything she is a happy friendly little kitten. Smudge - is a young black and white cat who came to us with three kittens. As Smudge showed very little interest in her kittens they have all been rehomed. She is very friendly and will be looking for a home for herself as soon as she has been spayed. Polly - is a very pretty grey and peach coloured semi longhaired cat who was left behind, pregnant, when her owners moved away. She had her kittens in a garden in Reading. By the time TVAW became involved one kitten had already died and another rescue had taken away all but one of her kittens. Polly and this kitten, a dark tortoiseshell which we have called Cindy, were finally caught in one of our humane traps and brought into care. Polly is a lovely friendly cat. Cinders is a little timid but improving every day. They need a new home together. Buffy - was a stray cat in Cholsey. He is an exceptionally friendly ginger and white male cat, about 4 years old. He probably needs a home without other cats but would probably make a very good family pet. He has little or no sight in his left eye, possibly due to an old injury or infection, but needs no treatment at the moment. If he should require treatment in the future financial assistance may be available from the charity. Blu and Lennox - are 8 year old cats, brother and sister who are indoor cats and need a home together. Lennox suffers from feline asthma and needs a steroid injection every 6 weeks to keep it under control. Financial assistance may be available from the charity towards the cost of this. Freya and Perdita - are lovely friendly cats. Perdita is mainly black with just a touch of white and is about one year old. She came to us with four kittens who are all ready to go to new homes now. Perdita will be spayed as soon as her milk has dried up. She also came with her friend, Freya. Although probably not related Freya has helped Perdita raise her kittens. Freya is tabby and white and probably a little older than Perdita. When she arrived it was obvious that she was suffering from skin cancer in one ear. The white part of her ear with the cancer has been removed and there should not be any problems in the future.     Jamie - is a retired gentleman of the road. He is a handsome ginger boy who spent several years terrorising the cats in his area in his quest for food. When we finally managed to catch him he was bloodtested for FeLV/FIV, neutered and treated for a painful ear infection. He is now settling down and getting used to three good meals a day with no one shouting at him or chasing him. Because of his past life he needs a home as an only cat. Update 8/08 Jamie is a very contented cat, loves people and is very grateful for a warm, dry bed to sleep in and regular meals. A lovely boy who deserves a good home at long last CJ - is a black male, between 8 and 10 years old. He's had several homes during his life, probably with people who have not spent a great deal of time with him. As a result he has become rather independent but we are working on this and he is improving. He enjoys being outside and hunting. Update 09/08 CJ has been in our care since May and no one has yet expressed any interest in him He is now a friendly cat but accepts attention on his terms. He would suit someone who is out at work during the day as he still enjoys "doing his own thing" sometimes. Freddie - is a very friendly 4 year old black male (part Burmese) whose elderly owner is no longer able to care for him. Freddie is a lovely boy but is not used to living with other cats or young children. Holly - is an exceptionally friendly, very pretty tabby and white two year old cat. She is used to living with children and will make a very good family pet. However, she does like to be the centre of attention so would not be happy sharing her home with another cat. Toffee - is a very friendly longhaired male cat who was originally a stray. When he arrived he needed treatment for an abscess on a tooth but he is now ready for a new home. Muffin - is a 9 year old female indoor cat who would like to have a home where she is the only cat in the household and therefore the centre of attention! Junior - is a 9 year old female indoor cat. She's small and cuddly with a loud purr. She would prefer a home without other cats. Felix - is an exceptionally friendly black and white male cat. He was a stray so we are guessing at his age - probably about 4/5 years old. He's a lovely cat who would be great company but he would like to be the centre of attention in his new home and would not appreciate other cats sharing his home with him! He might get on with a quiet dog. Audrey - is a beautiful grey female cat, 9 years old. Audrey is very much a lap cat and would appreciate a reasonably quiet home with someone who is at home during the day. Audrey is happy to sit on your knee for as long as possible and would make a really good companion. Misty and Molly - are a pair of black females. Misty is a year old while Molly is 8 months old. Both have been spayed and are now looking for a home together. Harry – is a 3/4 year old handsome tabby who probably needs a home without other cats. He was originally a stray having been left behind when his owner moved away. A neighbour's dog used to chase him so he would not be suited to a home with a dog. He's a little timid but is very friendly once he gets to know you. Millie – is a very small black female who was a stray. She’s no longer in the prime of life and being treated for hyperthyroidism but otherwise in good health. The only treatment she needs is two tablets a day which she takes very readily wrapped up in a piece of ham! A lively little cat who will be rehomed under our Golden Oldie scheme which means help will be available for future veterinary costs. All she needs is a comfy lap and the chance to enjoy strolling around a garden again. Smokey - came to us when his elderly owner died. He is about 18 months old and a tabby. He's a lovely, friendly cat but would be happiest in a home without young children or other animals. Eric – is a very friendly 8 year old ginger cat who will make a wonderful family pet. Eric loves a cuddle and being made a fuss of. Honey – is a pretty ginger female cat who has lived with a family although she’s not used to young children. She will be two years old in August. Honey dislikes all other cats so needs a home on her own and preferably in an area where there are not many cats in the immediate neighbourhood. Max - is a very large, friendly, black longhaired cat, 3 years old. He loves company and might settle with another cat or a friendly dog. Stella & Fudge - are a pair of 8 year old sisters. Stella is white while Fudge is a cream colour. Beautiful, friendly cats who would make good family pets.     Tosca – is a young grey and white longhaired cat. His coat was very matted so has been shaved. He looks a little odd at the moment but will be very handsome when the coat grows back! Millie – is a very small black female, probably about 5 years old. She adores people but sometimes objects to being picked up, possibly because of how she was treated in her previous home. Millie came to us as a stray. Smudge – is an 18 month old tortoiseshell cat who is very friendly but needs a home without other animals. Tilly and Toby – are a pair of lovely, friendly black cats. They are 5 and 9 years old, very playful and affectionate. Tanga – is a very pretty 2 year old tortoiseshell cat. She is very affectionate but would not be happy in a home with other animals or young children. Harvey – is a very handsome, slightly built, 4 year old ginger cat who needs a fairly quiet home. He is not used to children although he has lived with another cat. Sammy – is a 3 year old longhaired black and white cat whose elderly owner has died. He is used to a quiet home. Although worried by losing his owner and his home he is a friendly cat and should soon settle into a suitable new home. Sammy might be happy with other cats but not dogs. Sparkey - is a 1 year old semi-longhaired black and white male cat who has come to us because his owner is asthmatic. He will be ready for a new home as soon as we have arranged for him to be neutered. Lucky - is a very friendly black male cat who was abandoned by his owner. We think Lucky is 10 years old. Following some dental work and treatment for an eye infection Lucky is now eager for a new home. He is used to living with other cats and would probably be happy to live with another cat. Spencer and Kelly - are a pair of 12 year old blue (grey) Persian male cats. They are very loving, adore being groomed and need a home together. The photos of Spencer and Kelly were taken just after they arrived. They have received a lot of attention since then and are looking much happier now! Spencer and Kelly need an owner who is happy to spend time grooming them.     Thomas - is a young (9 month old) black and white cat. He is very lively and playful and would really love to have another young cat as a friend to play with. Thomas would also benefit from being in a home where there is someone at home at least part of the day. He has grown up with a dog. Samson - is a handsome longhaired ginger and white cat. We believe he is 10 to 12 years old. When he arrived he was very thin and we discovered that some of his teeth were broken. These have all been removed. He is still a little under weight but now eating well. He is a little nervous and will need a fairly quiet home. Mario - was a stray, unneutered cat found living in an old rabbit hutch in Cholsey. He has tested negative for FIV/FeLV and has been neutered. Mario is black and white and we think about 6 years old. He is a very friendly cat but might be best being rehomed where he is the only cat and the centre of attention. Oliver - is a handsome all ginger male cat who had been a stray near Reading for probably a long time. He has tested negative for FIV/FeLV and has been neutered. At first he was very nervous of people and reacted as though he had been chased and possibly kicked. He has settled down with his fosterer and has become a lovely cat who appreciates lots of attention. Oliver needs a home with someone who will be patient and give him time to learn to trust them as he now trusts his fosterer. He would be suited to a home without other cats or children. Magic - is a lovely friendly black male, about 5 years old who was a stray near Henley. He still thinks every meal he gets might be his last for a long time and consequently eats it as fast as possible but he is showing signs of starting to realise that perhaps he can take his time over it now! Belle - is a young brown tabby/ tortie female. She was a stray in Reading and we think she is about 2 years old. We think she would be best in a home without other animals or young children. Trouble and Gizmo - are a pair of young cats, about 18 months old. Trouble is tabby and white while Gizmo is ginger. They are brothers and need a home together. They have come from a home in the country and are not used to traffic but they have lived with a small dog.     Dusty - is a white Chinchilla 12 year old male. Dusty has come to us from the same home as Spencer and Kelly but would probably be happy to be rehomed on his own. Dusty did have sore eyes when he came to us but he has received treatment for this and is looking much better! Dusty also needs an owner happy to spend time grooming him. Dusty has now been rehomed but Spencer,and Kelly and Moppie who all came to us from the same owner are still looking for new homes. Moppie - is a 5 year old shorthaired black male who also came from the same home as Spencer, Kelly and Dusty. He is a very friendly, lively young cat and should make a good family pet. Tilly and Toby - are a pair of young cats who need a home together as they are very attached to each other. Tilly is a very small dark tortoiseshell cat, just 2 years old, while Toby is a very large black male who is almost 3 years old. They are both very friendly. Misty and Tom - are a lovely pair of cats who need a new home together because their owner has moved into a flat and cannot have the cats there. Misty is a black and white female, 8 years old and her friend Tom is a white and ginger male, 6 years old. Topsy - is an 8 year old calico tortie female. She is a lovely gentle cat but needs a home without other animals or young children. She would make a lovely companion. Harry - is a semi-feral cat. He was a stray in the Henley area. Harry has been bloodtested and neutered and is now ready for a home at stables or somewhere similar. Harry has spent most of his life being chased away by people when he was trying to get into houses to find food. He's therefore very scared of people. He is making some progress and eventually might tame up but in the meantime would be happy with an outdoor home and freedom as long as he has regular meals and somewhere warm to sleep. Charley - is a long haired black and white cat, probably about 2/3 years old. He lived as a stray in Warfield for a long time before he came into our care. He has been bloodtested for FIV and FeLV, neutered and had some minor dental work carried out. He is now in good health and ready for a new home. Charley is very friendly but can be a little boisterous so would not be suitable for anyone with young children and we do not think he would live with another cat. If you are looking for a cat with loads of character then Charley is the one for you. Gabriel - is a really friendly tabby cat who was a stray in Reading. Gabriel is about 5 years old and would suit a home where he can be the centre of attention. Jasper - is a lovely cuddly ginger cat who would probably like a home where his owners are at home a lot as he loves attention. Oscar - is a very friendly young black cat with just a tiny bit of white on him. He was a stray in Reading but has been bloodtested for FeLV/FIV and neutered. Lacey - is a 6 year old semi-longhaired ginger female cat who needs a home where she is the centre of attention. She would be best in a home where there are no other animals and probably no children. She is a friendly cat and we are told likes to read the newspaper with you! Billy - is a young, small, black and white male cat about one year old. Billy as a stray in Reading. He has now been blood tested for FeLV/FIV and neutered. He's a lovely friendly cat who's ready for a new home. Smudge and Oscar - are a pair of 9 year old cats. Smudge is tabby while his brother, Oscar, is black. They were rehomed by TVAW as kittens but have come back into our care as the owner is no longer able to look after them. They are frightened of dogs but would probably make good family pets as long as the children were not too young.     Domino - is a very lively young black and white cat with lots of personality. He was a stray in Reading and has been bloodtested for FeLV/FIV and neutered. Monty - is a large ginger and white male cat. Monty came to us as a stray, unneutered tom who had been making a nuisance of himself trying to get food by means of breaking and entering (via catflaps). He has tested negative for FIV and FeLV and has been neutered. His worms and fleas have been treated and he has turned into a really nice cat. Monty needs a home without any other cats. Holly and Timmy - Holly is a 10 year old pretty grey cat with a white bib and paws.She is a little on the shy side but her friend Timmy is very outgoing and people friendly. Timmy is a 10 years old, white and tabby cat with a slightly fluffy coat. They were in a badly neglected sate when they arrived but their worms and fleas have been treated and their coats brushed until they gleam. They are lovely cats who deserve a bit of pampering! Obi and Cleo - are a pair of elderly cats who will be rehomed under our "Golden oldie" scheme. TVAW will be responsible for the cost of all reasonable, future veterinary care they may need.

He is a very keen hunter and enjoys bringing his prey back home again! Archie - is a really friendly 4 year old ( birthday in August) tabby and white cat. He has had to come to us for rehoming because he was very jealous of a new baby. Archie is a cat with lots of personality and wants to be the centre of attention. Lenny - is a young male tabby who was found wandering in Calcot, Reading. As he was not neutered he was bloodtested for FeLV and FIV and then neutered. He is a really friendly cat and will make a wonderful pet. Amber - is a 2 year old tortoiseshell female. When she arrived she had a very badly injured tail which her previous owner had not had treated by a vet. We arranged for Amber to be seen straight away. Part of her tail was amputated and she was spayed at the same time. She has now recovered from this and is ready for a new home. Tabitha - is a pretty, young tabby and white cat. She had a very bad start in life and needs a quiet home with an owner who is willing to give her time to settle down and learn to trust people again.

Holly & Timmy – are homeless due to a house move. They are very friendly semi-longhaired cats. Holly is grey, very inquisitive and loves to be picked up. Timmy is black & white and friendly although not quite so keen to be picked up as Holly. They would not be suitable for a home with dogs but should make good family pets.

She's not used to living with either other cats (although a cat friendly dog might be OK) or children. Lucy and Timmy – are both black and white.

Max and Lulu – are 6 year old brother and sister, brown tabby cats. Friendly cats who have been homeless twice in their lives through no fault of their own. Max is very talkative and loves attention. Lulu can be shy with strangers but is friendly once she gets to know you. We do not think Lulu would appreciate a home with young children.     Lucy - is a black cat whose owners have gone abroad to live. She is only 4 years old but seems to have suffered some trauma in her life before she came to us and needs a patient owner who will help her to overcome her fears. Humbug – is a black Persian type of cat, male and about 7 years old. He’s had a very hard time trying to live on the streets of Reading after his owner died. When he arrived he was in quite a state but after bloodtesting, neutering, worming, defleaing, dental work and attention to his coat he starting to look respectable! At the moment he's completely food-orientated but if you like a cat with character Humbug cold be the one for you. Socks – is a really friendly black & white female cat, 6 years old, who would like a home with Millie, her 1 year old black daughter. Both Millie and Socks have been spayed.

They are very loving and affectionate but used to a country home and not suitable for very young children. Mini & Morgan – are tabby brother and sister, 6 years old. They were quite shy when they first arrived but are friendly now they have gained their confidence.

Tabby – is a friendly young female, about 3 or 4 years old who has lived with two male cats in the past. Tabby was a stray in Reading originally. She is shy of strangers initially but friendly once she gets to know you. She is probably not best suited to a family with young children.

Max - is a really lovely old tabby cat whose elderly owner has had to move into sheltered housing and has had to leave him behind. His age is uncertain but probably between 10 and 12 years. He's used to a quiet home. Max will qualify for help under our Golden Oldie scheme. Chilli - is a 5 year old fluffy brown tabby with, we are told, a bit of Somali in her background. Chilli has bags of character. her party tick is to open a locked catflap! Star – is a pretty tabby/tortie, about 3 years old, also abandoned by her owners. A friendly cat but probably better as the only cat in a home. Tilly – is a gorgeous young grey tabby who needs a home without other cats. She was originally a stray but we think she is only about 12 to 18 months old. Buster - was a stray in Reading and had been cared for by a lady who has recently died. Buster is black and white and probably about 4 to 5 years old. He is a friendly cat who likes lots of attention but is quite dominant so should not be rehomed where there is another cat. Simba - is a 4 year old black male cat. He is very friendly; likes lots of attention but is jealous of attention shown to other cats so needs a home where he is the only cat. He's fine with children and would make a good family pet. Pebbles - is a lovely elderly lady. She was a stray in Oxford and was befriended for a while by someone who worked at one of the Oxford colleges. Unfortunately he is now moving away and Pebbles is once again homeless. She will be rehomed under our "Golden Oldie" scheme which means the charity will be responsible for the cost of future veterinary treatment. Pebbles is a lovely happy little cat who deserves a good home in which to spend her twilight years. She would make a very good companion Timone - is an 18 month old black female ( with a tiny patch of white on her chest). Her fur is very fine, longhaired and she has a beautiful plume of a tail. Her coat is not the type which becomes matted easily and she does not need daily grooming. She is a friendly cat once she gets to know you but is frightened of other cats. Timone would suit a quiet home with no other animals or children. Ginger - is a friendly ginger male cat, probably about 4 or 5 years old. He was originally a stray in Reading but the lady who cared for him has died so one again he is homeless. He would probably make a good family pet but without other cats or dogs.

Holly and Harry - are brother and sister. Holly is black and white while Harry is tabby and white. Both are pretty large cats, especially Harry who is the more dominant of the pair. We do not think they would be suitable for anyone with young children but they are lovely, friendly cats.     KitKat - a really friendly, very talkative, long haired brown tabby female, 9 years old. KitKat is used to living in the country and enjoys spending time outside and hunting but is also a big softie and enjoys her home comforts.

They are lovely friendly cats but have never lived with either children or other animals. Lisa, Tumbles and Domino - are a little feline family we would like to try to rehome together. Lisa is tabby and white and 13 months old. her kittens are tabby and white and black and white, brothers and about 4 months old. Lisa has now been spayed but her kittens are not yet old enough to be neutered. We do not think that they would live with a dog and we doubt they would be suitable for someone with young children. Pixie - is a very friendly white and black cat who was found dumped in Reading in a taped-up cardboard box. When found she was heavily pregnant. She has since produced six healthy kittens, most of whom have now been rehomed. Pixie is a young cat, hardly more than a kitten herself. She is looking for a home with her last remaining kitten, a female who is white with a small amount of tabby markings. We have recently discovered that Pixie's kitten, which is now 5 months old, is deaf, although Pixie herself is not deaf. We are looking for a safe home for them both where there is very little traffic. Billy - is a 9 year old black and white cat. He is very friendly with people but does not like living with other animals. Billy would make a very good companion. Ozzie - is a black and white male cat who lived as a stray in Reading for about a year. He is a friendly cat once he gets to know you but is easily frightened by noises, sudden movements etc. He therefore needs a quiet home without young children. Smudge - is a white and black male cat who was a stray for a long time in Stonor, near Henley. We think he is about 5 years old.

Smokey - is a beautiful, very friendly grey tabby female who was a stray south of Reading. When she arrived we quickly realised she must be nursing kittens and asked the people in whose garden she had been loving to look under their garden shed where they found a kitten, about 5/6 weeks old. The following day we took them a trap to set and they quickly caught two more kittens who went into the trap for the food. The kittens are now old enough to be rehomed and two have already left their mum. We now have Smokey to rehome along with the remaining kitten which is a black female.

She also had a deformed mouth. She has received treatment for both of these problems and is now fit and health. Bailey – is a pale ginger male and Ellie – is a tabby female, 5 months old, needing a quiet home without children. Bailey is a big cat for his age and has just been neutered. Ellie is smaller and quieter. Silk - is a delightful 2 year old black female cat who would make a very good family pet. Pudsey - a 3 year old chocolate point part Siamese male cat. Pudsey is a one-person cat who needs a quiet home without children. Once he gets to know you he is very affectionate but he is the type who will disappear as soon as the door bell rings!             Demos & Storm - are  ginger & white males, 8 & 4 yrs old. Although not related they are very friendly and get on well with each other. They are used to a country home and  hunting although they do enjoy being inside as well.

Soloman - is a 15 year old ginger male, in good health, who needs a new home for his twilight years.

He is very friendly.   Moppet - a really friendly black and white cat, with silky fur who is good with children and would be suitable as a family pet. Molly & Lily - are  6 & 3 yr old, longhaired tabbies. They are lovely, friendly cats and would suit a family. Sylvester - is a very handsome tabby and white male with a beautiful plume of a tail. He has had a very hard life so far, living as a stray in Maidenhead for about a year. As a result he was very frightened of people when he arrived. He is now much better but he is liable to forget his manners sometimes! Sylvester is a cat with lots of character but he definitely needs an experienced and understanding owner with no children or other cats. UPDATE: Sylvester's manners have improved tremendously whilst he has been in our care. He really is a lovely cat. If you would like a cat with loads of character he's the cat for you Ginger – is a lovely ginger male with lots of character. He has lived in Twyford for over 10 years, being fed by a succession of people but never with a home of his own. As a result he is quite nervous of strangers but once he trusts you he is delightful. He is getting used to the idea that it is OK for him to be in a house after all these years but he will need a quiet home with someone who will give him the time to settle into a new environment. Ginger is probably about 12 years old. He really deserves a good home in which to spent his old age.   Todd - is a really friendly black and white male cat who was a stray in Reading. He is FIV/FeLV negative. He has had a tough life so far and needs a home without other animals where he can be the centre of attention.            Millie - is an affectionate tortoiseshell cat. She was a stray in Henley and when found was quite literally starving to death. She is now fully recovered although she eats each meal as though it might be her last! We think she is about 5 or 6 years old.    Daisy - is a very friendly tabby cat who will soon be looking for a home with one of her kittens, probably a tabby male but their are also two white female kittens in the litter. Daisy and her kittens will soon be old enough to be booked but will not be ready to go to their new homes until the middle of June.    Susie and Valentine - are almost a year old . They are brother and sister and have come into our care with their two kittens who will soon be ready to leave their parents and go to a home of their own. Once the kittens have left then Susie and Valentine can be rehomed together. Both mum and dad and the two kittens are all black. This little family can now be booked but will not be ready to go to homes until the latter half of June, unless we find a home for all four together!   Alfie - is a handsome, young black cat, probably about 2 years old. He was a stray and has been blood tested and neutered. He is a friendly cat but needs a home where he can be the centre of attention.    Matthew - is an exceptionally friendly black cat.

He is a difficult cat to age but probably around 5 years old.    Trixi and Dixi - are a pair of 15 year old tortoiseshell sisters who are looking for a home together. They are friendly and in good health but a new owner would qualify for help with any future veterinary costs under our Golden Oldie scheme   Douglas - is a young black and white cat who was a stray in Reading. He has been blood tested for FIV/FeLV and neutered and is now ready for a new home. Douglas is a very friendly cat but he does like to be the centre of attention so he needs to be rehomed on his own. He might be OK living with a dog. As he is quite boisterous we would not consider him suitable for young children.   Ollie - is almost 5 years old. He is a rather timid brown tabby male cat who needs a quiet home. Once he is settled in a home he is the type of cat who is friendly towards his owners but disappears at the first sign of visitors! Lulu - is an elderly, black and white, longhaired female cat. When she came into our care she had to be shaved because her coat was so badly matted. She is suffering from hyperthyroidism and requires a tablet daily to treat her condition. The charity will be responsible for the cost of any future veterinary treatment under our "Golden Oldie" scheme. Lulu is a lovely old girl and just needs a warm and comfy lap for her twilight years.         Dexter and Gordon - are a pair of black and black & white brothers, about 11 months old. They are lovely cats, very playful and affectionate.    Maisy - is a friendly young tortoiseshell, about 12 months old. She probably needs a home without other cats.   Molly - is a young tabby and white mum who needs a home with Mole, her 8 week old male kitten. Both are very friendly.    Boycie - is an unusual cream and grey colour and was a stray in Reading. He has also been blood tested and neutered. He is a very exuberant cat, loves people and likes nothing better than to drape himself across your shoulders. A cat with lots of character but not suitable for a home with young children or other cats. Sophie - is a 5 year old grey female with the build of an oriental type of cat. She is talkative and very friendly but does not get on with other cats. She is used to a home where she has lots of company during the day and would make a very good companion. Poppy -   is a black female cat. As she was originally a stray near Reading we do not know her history. We think she is about 4/5 years old and in good health. She has settled down very well with her fosterer, Clare, but can be shy of strangers. She needs a home without other animals and probably without children. Susie – is an elderly black and white cat who was found in Woodley. Despite extensive enquiries we have not been able to find her owner. She suffers from an overactive thyroid which is being treated with medication. Susie qualifies for help under our "Golden Oldie" scheme which means the charity will help with any veterinary costs relating to her condition. Susie is a friendly cat and would probably be happy living as an indoor cat.   Marks and Sparks – are a pair of 3 year old ginger and white brothers. They have only just arrived ( 11 March) and are still quite nervous because of recent experiences but with time will settle down. UPDATE: These two cats have settled down very well now.  They are both friendly and affectionate and would be suitable for most homes except perhaps those with young children. Simba - is a 7 year old cream and white neutered male and Suzie, also 7 years old is a pale grey, ginger and white tortie. We believe they are brother and sister. Both are very friendly and used to living with dogs. Levi - is an 8 year old  tabby and white neutered male  while Ozzy is a dark tortie and white 7 year old female. Both of these cats come from the same home as Simba and Suzie , are very friendly and fine with dogs. Precious - We are looking for a very specific home for a young cat ( 6 months old) called Precious who suffers from Cerebellar ataxia or wobbly kitten syndrome. Her head shakes and her back legs are very wobbly but she is a very lively and affectionate young cat. Her condition is not likely to worsen; it may improve a little with time; it should not lead to further health problems and she is expected to have a fairly normal life span. As her balance is affected by her condition we feel that an indoor home with controlled access to a secure garden would be ideal. Our ideal home for her would be with someone who is at home a lot as she likes to have company. She is happy with other cats but controlled access to the outside could be a problem.  We do not think she would not be suitable for a family with young children. Bonnie & Clyde - are a pair of 9 year old black cats. They are very affectionate and love company.  Clyde was in poor health when he arrived and has needed veterinary treatment but should be ready to be rehomed by the end of March. Tom – was a stray from Reading. He is a big black cat, a little battle scarred from living on the streets but very friendly. He has been bloodtested for FIV/FeLV and neutered and is now ready for a new home. As he has spent time fighting other cats for food he might not settle very well with other cats although he doesn't seem to mind the other cats he can see from his cat house. Tom loves being stroked and made a fuss of. Nicholas - is a three legged black cat.  He had to have a leg amputated following an accident with a car and his owners asked TVAW to take him for rehoming. This was some time ago and he is fully recovered from the operation. He was rehomed with several other cats but it has become apparent that he needs a home without other cats. He has therefore come back into our care. Nicholas is a very friendly cat with character! He loves to be picked up and cuddled! Smudge -  is a 6 year old white and black cat. She is shy of strangers and would be frightened of young children but is very friendly once she knows you. Smudge has lived with a dog. A quiet cat who would be ideal as a companion. Tims – is a very friendly black and white male, 5 years old, who moved out of his home when a baby came along. He is not used to children or living with other animals. Marmite – is a black, female, cat about 6 years old. She probably needs a quiet home without children or other animals. Socks – is a very friendly longhaired black and white cat, about 8 years old, who was left behind when his owner moved away. He has lived with another cat but would probably be best rehomed as a single cat. Tinker – is a rather timid ginger cat, about 7 years old. He had been a stray for a long time before coming into our care and needs a quiet home without children. Tinker was rehomed but sadly had to be returned due to the worsening of the new owner's asthma. This was a shame because he had settled into his new home very well. Once more, Tinker is homeless!
