Tortoiseshell-and-white Tula was taken in by Cats Protection’s Bridgend Adoption Centre in February when her owner needed to urgently move home and the only available accommodation would not permit animals.
The 10-year-old is understood for getting along in addition to happy to do her own thing however regardless of her laid back nature, she has actually now remained in take care of 3 times longer than the 39 days it handles average for cats throughout the charity’s network to be homed from the minute they get here in care.
With over 140 cats presently in care at the Bridgend centre and 130 more on its waiting list, in addition to pregnant cats bring to life brand-new litters, it is a very hectic time. As among the charity’s top-three centres for adoptions – the group rehomed 643 cats over the previous 12 months alone – ‘busy’ is now a lifestyle for staff and volunteers. However, some cats like Tula are being regularly neglected and the group fear the hidden factor is age.
Deputy supervisor Jenna Butcher discusses: “More than 40% of our cats are presently kittens and although not all are old sufficient or prepared to go to their brand-new houses, it implies poor Tula has a great deal of competitors. We all understand kittens are exceptionally charming however among the fantastic advantages of an older cat is that you already understand their character whereas kittens are still establishing. An older cat is likewise most likely to seek you out for love, whereas kittens have a great deal of energy to burn and are eager to learn all they can about the world around them!
“At the centre Tula is most often spotted relaxing on her scratch pad and showing her belly! She is typical of the cats we’re struggling to home at present, she’s easy-going and although not a lap cat, she’s affectionate with a great personality and doesn’t have any traits that will make her difficult to care for, she’s simply slightly older. We’d love nothing more than to see her happily settled in an adult family where she can be the only pet and really enjoy having a home of her own once again.”
Jenna includes: “If anyone has been thinking about getting a cat, especially one like Tula , we’d love to hear from them. Our team is excellent at matching would-be owners with their perfect cat – and of course the more we can home, the more we can take in and also make space for the young or vulnerable cats who have nowhere else to go.”
