She is not cat tested, but has shown to be good around horses.

Molly is very friendly and has met visiting children 6 years And over. She does find Loud noises and kids screaming worrying though so would like to live with children aged 12 and over.

Beautiful Betty

1 year old lurcher (saluki,whippet, greyhound)

Betty loves people, she is very affectionate and loves to cuddle or just be in your company 💖

She is an active girl who loves to be having fun (when she's not sleeping) she enjoys going out and exploring, playing with friends, toys or racing around the garden. In between the fun and after you will find her in typical lurcher style, upside down in The bed, legs in the air fast asleep!

Betty has great basic training, She has attended puppy and beginner classes. She loves to learn for a tasty treat And is a super Smart girl. She would love new owners who would love to train just for fun!

She even fancies herself some fun parkour and agility at times.

Betty LOVES other dogs and MUST be rehomed with at least one other resident dog. She loves to play and cuddle up. She gets alot of reassurance from her canine companions aswell.

She has also lived with cats, she has no chase drive but may try to play with them until they say no!

Betty has also been around children of various ages, she is very good but she can jump up and is interested if they have food! She has Lived with children aged 12 and over but dog savvy children aged 8 and over will be considered

She has only been left for short periods with other dogs and is fine, she will sleep or play. She does not cope being left on her own, she will howl.

Betty will need space to eat separately from other dogs in the home as she will growl At them over her food bowl, she is very good at taking herself to the crate, eating and waiting to be let out.

She walks beautifully on the lead, you barely notice she's there sometimes! She has 90% recall in a secure field, it depends how much fun shes having but she will always come back, eventually. Especially for food!

She is a very loving and happy girl, she loves life and spending it with you. Could you see her sharing your sofa?

🏠Betty is currently located in Basingstoke

🐾 **Up for Adoption: Meet Beautiful Sandy!** 🌟

Tell me more, tell me more…!

Sandy is an adorable 18-week-old kitten who is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready to find her forever home! 🏡❤️

This sweet girl is one of the first families to stay at our very own Cattery. Sandy loves basking in the sun, playing with her siblings, and chasing after balls. 🎾☀️

Sandy would thrive in a home with children who understand that she prefers not to be picked up. Or adults who want to fuss her all day! She gets along well with other cats, but she’ll need slow introductions to feel comfortable. While she has seen a dog, she’s a bit scared of them, so a calm environment would be ideal.

Affectionate and sweet, Sandy adores a good bum scratch and is sure to fill your home with love. 🥰

If you’re interested in adopting Sandy, please reach out to us! Let’s find this lovely girl the perfect home she deserves! 🐱💖

🏡 Currently in foster in Basingstoke.

Her checklist:
✅microchipped and vaccinated
✅Home checks do apply
✅ She can be homed with children over 9 years
✅ She can be rehomed with another cat with slow introductions. Not dog tested.
❌we do not rehome next to busy roads or railway lines

Rosa will need a home thats dog free as she really doesnt like them. She hasnt been tested with cats so may be better in a pet free home.

We Could Use a Little Help! 📦

We recently received notice from our landlord that we need to vacate our storage unit, which has been our home for all our fundraising supplies. This has put us in a bit of a tough spot, and we're now searching for a new place to store everything.

We're hoping to find a new shipping container or similar to keep our goods safe. If you have any leads or suggestions, we'd be so grateful to hear from you!

Our only other option is to purchase the current shipping container from our landlord for £2000, but that's beyond our reach at the moment.

Thank you so much for any support or ideas you can share!

We believe in helping animals in need, and thought there may be no better way than providing food for those less fortunate. Thanks to our partnership with Helping Dogs and Cats Rescue C.I.C, we'll be able to make a real difference to the pets in their care.

We're kicking things off at our Homecoming Building Grand Opening! Join us and help us stock our food bank by bringing along any unopened, unused pet food.

Let's come together to support our furry friends. 💙
