Hello, my name is Sid! I am a friendly and confident chunk of a boy, four and a half years old. I was adopted from the rescue back in 2020, but unfortunately I had to be returned as I had badly bitten a family member (no negative comments towards my previous owners please, they did love me and were very sad to bring me back). Though I'm a happy lad most of the time, I've always had a naughty side, and will bite if I get agitated or over-excited. Because of this, I need a strictly child-free and pet-free home with experienced cat people, who feel able to manage this behaviour. I like to play outdoors, so I'm looking for a house with a garden/yard in a safe neighbourhood please. I am not a cat for everybody, but if you don't mind a cheeky character, maybe I'm the one for you? If you think so, here's the form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, it's Sid here again! I am a cheeky lad who is still looking for a special type of home. I'm around five years old, and originally came to the rescue as a stray because my first owners didn't want me. I was adopted by some lovely people, but sadly I had to be returned earlier this year, as I'd bitten a family member. I am friendly and sociable most of the time, I like to play and love my food, but I can also be naughty and bite when I'm over-excited. I need a strictly child-free home where I can be the only pet, with experienced cat people who feel confident managing both sides of my personality. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so a house with a nice safe garden/yard, away from busy roads, would be perfect. If you think we'd get along, and would like to give me a chance, here is the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, my name is Poppet! I am a friendly 12-year-old lady. I came to the rescue along with two other cats (including my sister Tibby who was posted earlier today), due to our owner's ill health, but I'd be happier as the only pet in the house. I was allowed outside a bit in my previous home, but I'm not too interested in wandering. I am a nice girl, though in an 'on my own terms' sort of way - I'll be happy with a quiet life, and don't look for trouble, but if someone bothers me I will tell them off accordingly. Because of this, I'd be better not living with young children. Sensible adults are perfectly welcome to give me a stroke. Do you have an empty spot on the sofa that's missing a cat? If so, then here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, it's Pickles here again! Has everyone forgotten about me? I am now here at the rescue, being a very good boy and making friends with new people, as you can see. I'm one of the longest-term cats in the rescue's care, and have still not received a single application in all my months of waiting and hoping. I do need a pet-free and child-free home, with someone who's had cats before, and access to a safe outdoor space away from main roads (even a good-sized catio would be great). In the past I've had urinary problems, but it's been quite a while since they last flared up - it would just need a bit of extra vigilance on the part of my new owner, to make sure I'm okay, and would have to be declared as a pre-existing condition on pet insurance. As you can see from my tattered ear, I have been through the wars in my previous years, and though I'm still bright and lively, I also want to enjoy some home comforts. Could you be the special person who finally chooses me? If so, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello! We are Roly, Ruby, and Rosy, one brother and two sisters who are around six months old. We were born outside to a stray/feral mum, but a kind lady helped to keep us all fed and found us a rescue space. We have been socialised up to a point, but we're very shy with strangers, and will hiss and back away (unless you come bearing dinner!). Understandably, that makes everyone think we're not friendly at all. We don't scratch or bite, we are just scared, and need extra patience to help us feel safe and get used to new things. Our brother Clover, who's recently been adopted, started out as the most nervous one, but then turned into a cuddle bug once he settled! We cannot live with children, but would love a home with other cats to play with. We could be adopted together, or go to separate homes provided there was already a cat there who'd be nice and make friends with us. If you're interested in any of us, here is the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, my name is Tinkerbell! I came to the rescue with two other cats, after our owner sadly died. We're all nine years old, and nice friendly girls, though I'm usually the shyest of the three and spend a lot of time in my favourite igloo bed. We've set up an 'I don't bother you, you don't bother me agreement', so we're not really bonded but also don't quarrel. We wouldn't mind being homed either together or separately. I'm used to being allowed outside, so I'd need to live in a safe area away from main roads. Because I'm wary of new people, I would feel more comfortable in an adult-only house that's not too busy. If you're interested in me, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, my name is Holly! I came to the rescue with two other cats (Tinkerbell and Pollyanna, who have already been posted), as our owner sadly died and the family couldn't keep looking after us any longer. All three of us are still waiting for a home. We are nine years old, and don't have a close bond, so would be fine going to separate homes (I think Pollyanna in particular would be happier as the only pet in the house). I am a sweet shy girl, who's very good at finding cosy hiding places. Sometimes I get right under my favourite blanket, so all you can see is a wriggling shape, and then I'll pop my head out when I realise it's dinner time! Since I'm not a very outgoing cat, I would suit a quiet home. I'm used to being allowed outside. If you're interested in me, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello everyone, it's Odin here again. I'm doing so much better than when I first arrived, I have really settled in now and will even shout at the staff for attention! I am looking for a special retirement home, where I can be spoiled until the end of my days. I'm still a bit shy, so a quiet home with just one or two adults would be most comfortable for me. I loved my brother Orion, but I've hissed at other cats here, so although I might like a nice gentle friend of similar age, we would need slow introductions. Although I don't have current health problems, I am a senior boy without any teeth, and have been through hard times, so please bear this in mind. If you can give me the love and care I deserve, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, it's Ruby and Rosy here again. Although we're not long-term residents compared to some of the other cats, it feels like we've been in here for a large portion of our lives - both of our brothers were adopted before Christmas, and two months later there's no home in sight for us. We're around 8 months old now, a pair of sisters who were born outside to a semi-feral mum. Because we weren't raised in a home environment, we did miss out on some socialisation, and we're still skittish with people - but we have gotten a lot braver over time, we're super playful, and will come sit at the door of our pen and say hello. We can be stroked by people we trust, especially if you're giving us treats! We love to scamper around and explore, and it's sad that as we get close to our first birthdays, we can't say we've ever had a home of our very own. Because of our timid natures, we'd prefer an adult-only home, with someone who has previous experience with cats. We're okay with other pets, and especially interested in dogs! We're used to being allowed outside, so might get bored as indoor only cats, unless there was lots of enrichment and space for us to run about in. If you think you could be the one to change our lives, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, it's Odin here again. As you can see, I'm getting braver and will now sit (halfway) on my foster lady's knee! I am a shy and gentle senior boy, who came to the rescue under terrible circumstances. I have been gradually getting used to home comforts again, and mourning the loss of my best friend Orion, who was too poorly for the vets to save. I am looking for a special place, where I will be loved and spoiled for the rest of my days. I would prefer a quiet, adult-only home where I can settle in at my own pace, please. I might like another cat friend, but I'm wary of animals I don't know, so we would need slow introductions. It would be better to keep me indoors from now on, where I can stay safe and warm. I have no known health issues at present, but I have suffered from neglect which might affect me in the future. If you can offer the loving retirement home I deserve, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, we are Missy and Lassy! We are a mum and daughter pair, who also arrived with five kittens. One of the rescue's kind foster ladies went out to save us, and then looked after us all until the little ones were old enough to be adopted. We were happily both spayed yesterday, so now it's time to start out brand new lives! We are friendly and gentle girls, though we can be a bit shy with strangers. It's not certain what we are like with children. In our previous home, we were used to being allowed outside. As you can see from this photo, we have a close bond and would like to stay together. If you're interested in us, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello everyone, it's Sid here again, reminding you that I'm still waiting for a home. Like Pickles, I've now sadly reached my one year anniversary since being brought into the rescue. I first came here several years ago, I was a stray whose owners didn't want me back. I found a very nice home and stayed there for a few years, but unfortunately was brought back for biting a family member. I'm now six years old, and desperately hoping somebody will give me another chance. I'm a friendly and inquisitive lad, I enjoy human company, but I can snap when I'm over-excited. I need a child-free home with experienced cat people, who will be confident in managing both the naughty and nice sides to my personality. I'd prefer not to live with other pets, and I love being able to play outside, so my dream house would have a secure garden and be away from busy roads. If you can't consider adopting me, then please please share my post, to help find my perfect person. If you think you've got what it takes to be the boss of me, here's the form to fill in! https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, my name is Lola! I was a young stray living in the shed of some kind people, who brought me to the rescue when an owner couldn't be found. I'm the type of cat that's difficult to get a photo of, because I hardly sit still, I am always scampering about and looking for adventure! I'm a nice friendly girl, but since not much is known about my past, it's uncertain whether I'm used to being around other animals or children. Hopefully a playful little character like me won't be waiting too long for a home! If you're interested in me, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, my name is Fluffy! I am a sweet, timid girl who's around six years old. I came to the rescue because my senior owner was too unwell to keep me any more, and we were terribly sad to say goodbye to each other (it's a very similar story to Cleopatra, who is still waiting for a home too). I'll hide from strangers, but once I know you want to be friends with me, I'm happy to be stroked (and brushed). I am a gentle girl, who is used to a quiet house with just one person, and hasn't lived with children or other pets before. I was previously allowed outside, so I'd be happy with access to a secure garden, away from busy roads. My owner has asked the rescue to find a five-star home for me, where I will be loved and spoiled. If you're interested in me, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/ (note that there are two different cats at the rescue called Fluffy, so please say which one you're inquiring about)
Hello everyone, it's Rosy and Ruby here again. We're getting closer to spending our first birthday in the cattery, having never known what it's like to be in a home of our very own. We were born outside, and would have become feral if a kind lady hadn't started feeding and socialising us. We are still shy girls who need patience from new people...but as you can see, once we're comfortable enough, we'll come and happily sit on your knee! Tasty treats are definitely the way into our hearts. We would like to stay as a pair, and would do better in a child-free home with someone who has previous cat experience. Surely there must be someone out there, who'll give us a chance? If you're interested in us, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, it's Lola here again! I didn't think such a cute and friendly girl as me would have to be posted more than once, to be honest. I was a young stray living in the shed of some kind people, who brought me to the rescue when an owner couldn't be found. I'm super playful, always scampering about and looking for adventure! Since not much is known about my past, it's uncertain whether I'm used to being around other animals. I should be fine with sensible older children though, since I am gentle and not shy at all. If you're interested in me, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, it's Holly and Tinkerbell here again! We're actually having a nice break from the cattery right now, and getting comfortable in a foster home, but we're still looking for be permanently adopted. We are nine-year-old sisters who came to the rescue after our owner sadly died. We are timid with new people, and will hide away when we're scared. Once we feel safe with you, we're affectionate, and have been sitting on our foster parents' knees. We are quiet and gentle girls, who would prefer a calm household without children or other pets. We were used to being allowed outside in our previous home, so we'd need to live in a safe area away from main roads. If you're interested in us, here's the adoption form to fill in: https://carlalaneanimalsinneed.co.uk/adoption-questionnaire/
Hello, my name is Branston! You might recognise me from reading the cattery news a couple of weeks ago. I came to the rescue as an injured stray, but thanks to the vets and the nice lady who managed to trap me, I'm doing much better and feeling ready for my new home. I'm around 5-10 years old, but nobody is sure of my exact age. Though I was scared and hurt when I first came here, I've become a happy, friendly boy who will shout for attention from people I know. Because my previous injuries were likely gained from other cats, it would be better for me to be the only pet in my new home. I'm not used to children, and not sure how I might react to them. I was used to roaming about, so I'd enjoy a place with safe outside access, that isn't too close to anything dangerous like main roads. I look tough and battered on the outside, but underneath that I'm a big softie, who would love a warm knee to relax on.

Hello everyone, it's Fluffy here again, still looking for a home. I am a sweet, timid girl who's around six years old. I came to the rescue because my senior owner was too unwell to keep me any more, and we were terribly sad to say goodbye to each other. I'll hide from strangers, but once I know you want to be friends with me, I'm very happy to be stroked (and brushed). I will even pat you with my paw, and stand up on my back legs, to make sure you're paying attention to me! I am a gentle girl, who is used to a quiet house with just one person, and hasn't lived with children or other pets before. I was previously allowed outside, so I'd be happy with access to a secure garden, away from busy roads. My owner has asked the rescue to find a five-star home for me, where I will be loved and spoiled.
