Please ring 0151 355 9813 if you are interested in homing any

of these cats and we will arrange a home check. (It will be an

answering machine. Leave your name and number and we will

return your call). Go to www.southwirral.cats.org.uk to see other

cats in need of a home.

There is an adoption fee of 40 per cat. Each cat will be:

Fully examined by a veterinary surgeon, Vaccinated at least once against u and enteri-

tis, Treated against eas, tapeworm and roundworm, Neutered if old enough. Micro chipped He will also come

with four weeks Petplan insurance cover, which you may choose to continue, Giving invaluable peace of mind

and reassurance as you and your cat embark on this lifelong friendship

South Wirral Cats Protection have a number of cats who desperately need a home.

Can you give a cat a home?KANGA: Friendly boy who likes a fuss.

Kanga is a friendly boy who likes a fuss, and

our fosterer says he is a lap cat. He is playful

and affectionate but also happy to be left on

his own

He will be happy with anyone who will give him

time to overcome initial shyness, and would

suit an older person/couple

Kanga is four years old, and is suitable to live

with a mature family, a couple or person on

their own

Ref: H11-54

TIMMY:Friendly lad with a big purr

Timmy is currently residing in the conservatory of the

family who gave him shelter when he found himself

lost. They cannot offer him a permanent home. He is a

friendly boy with a big purr

As nothing is known of his history a home without youngchildren or other pets is sought for Timmy

Ref: H11-02

KITTY: Owner could no longer care for her due to ill health

Kitty needs a new home because her owner has health

problems. Kitty is now in our care with one of our fosterers as

she was having to live in the conservatory and consequently

was spending most of the day without companionship. She is

a bit timid with people she does not know so initially she will

be shy. She is four years old. We are looking for a home for herwith no other pets. Ref: H11-49
