Stapeley Grange Cattery

RSPCA desperately seeking home for reunited cat trio - The cats can¿t

An RSPCA centre who reunited three feline siblings are now seeking a new home for them - after the cats have been waiting for a new home for four months.

Ezra, Otto and Wilma were signed into the RSPCA’s care in March after coming from a multi-animal household. Ezra and Otto went to Stapeley Grange, in Nantwich, Cheshire, while Wilma, who was pregnant, went to the charity’s Greater Manchester Animal Hospital.

But Wilma was found not to be coping well without her two brothers and her siblings were very timid without her, so staff at Stapeley Grange decided to reunite the trio.

Four months later, the trio, who are all two years old, are still waiting for a new home to call their own.

Joyce Mellor, deputy manager at Stapeley Grange, said: “These three have such a strong bond that we want them to be rehomed together - we don’t want them to be separated again.

“It is very rare that we have three cats who we want to rehome together - this happens about once every three years. We find that many people look to adopt one or two cats and very few people come into our cattery wanting to rehome three, but we know that there is somebody out there who will take these on.

“They are very lovely cats, they are quite timid but they have got used to our staff very quickly so we’re sure once they are settled into their new home they will flourish.

“We have only had a couple of enquiries about them so far but unfortunately we’re still waiting for the right owner to adopt them.”

If you think you could offer a home to Ezra, Otto and Wilma, you can get in touch with Stapeley Grange by calling 0300 123 0722 or email stapeleycattery@rspca.org.uk. You can also pop into the cattery, in London Road, Nantwich, anytime between 11.30am to 3.30pm every day except Monday.
