Stapeley Grange Cattery

Rescue cat Ronnie still waiting for a home after six months

A rescue cat is hoping for a home this month after waiting six months to be chosen.

Despite his good looks and sensitive nature, black and white cat Ronnie has yet to be adopted into a loving home, and staff at RSPCA Stapeley Grange in Nantwich are keen to help.

Carrie Jakeman, animal care assistant at the centre who has looked after Ronnie since he arrived in October 2020, hopes to find him a forever home as soon as possible.

Carrie said: “Poor Ronnie has been waiting longer than any other cat in our centre, and we’re so keen to see him adopted into a loving home as soon as possible.

“He’s a little shy with new people at first, but once he gets to know you he is a very loving boy who enjoys attention and affection. His ideal home would be with a cat-lover who’s experienced with shy cats who can help him adjust slowly to his new surroundings, perhaps in one room to start with and then gradually introduce him to the rest of the home.”

Ronnie arrived at Stapeley along with several other cats back in October from a multi-cat household after his owner was sadly no longer able to provide the care they needed. He was in a poor state when he arrived and was very nervous, and it took Carrie and the team some time to gain his trust and help his friendly and inquisitive nature shine through.

Carrie added: “We think it’s best Ronnie’s new home is without children or dogs, but he could possibly be happy with another cat. He’d love a quiet garden to explore away from busy roads too. If you think you can offer this lovely boy a home we’d love to hear from you.”
