Can you give Tiddles a home this Christmas?

The charity rehomes thousands of pets every year but some find it harder than others to meet their perfect match - cats like Tiddles, a three-year-old sweet girl who has been homeless for more than 70 days.

She is looking for a quieter home where she will get a fuss and a bit of company.

She can be playful and likes nothing more than a game followed by a snooze on the sofa.

Will Lamping, Rehoming Centre Manager at Blue Cross in Thirsk, said: “While we try to give all the pets in our care the best Christmas possible with a special dinner, most of them do not enjoy kennel life and would much rather be next to a cosy fire and enjoying the festive season with a family of their own.

“While it is never a good idea to get a pet as a surprise present for someone, for those having a quiet family Christmas it may be a good time of year to take on a pet but Blue Cross urges to consider a rescue who are rehomed responsibly with lifetime support and want nothing more this Christmas than to be in a loving home.”

Summer has been at Blue Cross for more than 60 days, she was found all alone as a stray cat. At just one-year-old, it isn’t known if she has ever had a home of her own during her young life. She was scared when she first arrived but has been showing more of her sweet self now she has gained some confidence.
