Star Hopefuls
These cats have been waiting patiently for that special someone to come along and offer them their loving forever home. They have sat and watched their neighbours in the cattery get chosen and go off to start their new lives, and now we hope it'll be their turn.

Kristen & Heidi are lovely girls who are very shy with people. They have come from a multi cat household along with Verity & Victor, and Daisy & Dylis. As we often find with multi cat households in these circumstances, the cats have missed out on vital socialisation in their early weeks of kittenhood. As a result, Kristen & Heidi are very unsure of being approached and handled. However, in their foster home, they are making good progress. They like to sit with their fosterer and are much more comfortable with interaction. Heidi particularly is also becoming very playful, her favourite toy being a ping pong ball. They are looking for experienced cat guardians who can allow them time to settle into their new home at their pace. They need someone who won't expect too much from them, and will allow them to get their bearings before making any attempts to build a bond. A good way to start building trust, is to just sit quietly in their settling room, a good distance away. Then reading to them, so they get used to your voice, but without any pressure to engage. They have watched their previous housemates go off to their loving homes, but Kristen and Heidi have been left behind. Reports from their friends' adopters show that given a loving and calm environment, these lovely cats can learn to trust their family.
