Cats rehomed thanks to Christmas carol video

Gonsal Farm staff sang their hearts out to find homes for cats!

20.01.12

Our Gonsal Farm Animal Centre has found homes for all but three of the cats featured in their unique Christmas carol video - 12 Cats of Christmas.

In the video (featured below), staff at the centre near Shrewsbury in Shropshire put their own stamp on the traditional Christmas carol, 'The 12 Days of Christmas', adapting the words in a bid to find new homes for the many cats in their care.
 
And their singing appears to have been music to your ears after new homes have been found for the majority of the cats featured.

But three of the moggies are still patiently waiting to find their perfect match - black cat Pablo and inseparable cats Chilli and Biscuit.

Watch out for Pablo and Chilli and Biscuit in the video - 12 Cats of Christmas: 


Meet the cats still in need of new homes

Pablo

Pablo originally came into Gonsal Farm with his friend Alfonz.

Both were in an awful condition - they were underweight with scurfy skin and wounds all over their bodies.

Staff could barely touch them as they used to cower and hiss in fear.

After a few weeks the cats were separated as it was discovered Pablo was being bullied.

Since being split up, Pablo has come along so well.

He is still a shy boy but instead of running away when staff enter his pod, he's now fine and greets staff with a meow and his tail in the air, especially at food time!

He adores a groom and absolutely loves chin tickles. He rolls around on the floor for you to tickle his belly too.

This is such a transformation and may not seem much to an outsider, but to staff it is major progress.

Pablo needs a caring and patient new owner who will help him to continue to come out of his shell and give him lots of love and affection - he will certainly give plenty back in return.


Chilli and Biscuit

Chilli and Biscuit came into the centre as part of a cruelty case where they had been kept in awful conditions and had never been handled.

They were very scared of humans and took a while to settle in.

They are still adjusting and will take time, but have come along really well considering their background.

They are both such sweet, young cats and really deserve a fresh start in life.

Chilli and Biscuit would benefit from a mature home with adults only.

They will need an understanding and patient owner who will allow them time to come round and build their trust in people again.

Chilli likes a chin tickle and they are both happy to be stroked and fussed as long as you have a gentle approach.

They should be fine to live with other cats and can be rehomed with a calm dog.

They have to be rehomed together as they enjoy each other's company and would settle better.
