CATS Protection’s Warrington Adoption Centre is appealing for new homes for a pair of their ‘long stayers’.

Saffron, 12, and Tumeric, 13, were taken to the centre on May 8 this year and are looking for a quiet home they can call their own.

The average stay for a cat at the Padgate centre is 10 days but Saffron and Tumeric have been at the centre for a total of 138 days and have seen 257 cats adopted before them.

“If you are able to adopt a cat please get in touch as we would love to show you the beautiful long stay cats we have that are desperate for a loving home,” says staff member Claire Frangleton.

She added: “Nobody wants these poor cats to stay here longer than they have to but sadly they have nowhere else to go until they are adopted.

“Although we do our very best to care for them, life in a cat pen is no substitute for a permanent home so I would urge people to consider adopting one.

“Owners adopting from Cats Protection have the peace of mind that their cat will have been examined by a veterinary surgeon, microchipped, vaccinated, neutered if old enough and will also come with four weeks’ free insurance."
