New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Cat Protection League - Kevin

Kevin is described as a tabby and white Domestic Short Hair. Kevin is 9 years old and is looking for an indoor home. Kevin had quite a difficult start in life - he has been through a couple of homes and the recent unfortunate circumstances of his last home meant he had to come into the shelter. Kevin loves company - he enjoys being petted, brushed and played with. He would love to be in a home where people can spend a lot of time with him. We think he would be best suited as the only pet with no children. Kevin has had some stress cystitis in the past, but thankfully this has been well controlled with diet so far. If you would like to meet Kevin and/or discuss our adoption process, please phone us on 0131 554 5521 or email enquiries@edinburghcatprotection.org.uk

New dog listed for rescue at the West Scotland Retired Greyhound Trust - OLIVER

OLIVER Male 6 years Oliver has sadly been returned to our care, after almost 4 years in a home, through absolutely no fault of his own (change of circumstances). He is 6 years old, quite small for a boy and is a friendly, happy boy. Ideally we want his stay in kennels to be as short as possible as he has been used to his home comforts. Oliver is fine with other greyhounds and is trainable to be around other breeds. He really deserves another chance. Location: West Scotland Greyhound Trust

New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Cleo

Cleo is described as a Maine Coon. Can live with Children Cleo is looking for an experienced cat owner who can keep her company for some of the day. She would be best suited to a home out of the city with easy access outdoors so she can venture outside whenever she wants to. She could potentially live with older children but would like to be the only pet in the home. Cleo is a happy girl with a sweet nature who enjoys human company where she can be made a fuss of. She is energetic and likes playing with her toys but particularly enjoys exploring the outdoors so would like plenty of space to roam. After a day of fun antics, she loves nothing more than curling up for a snooze in her comfy bed. Cleo has a beautiful coat which her new owner will need to be mindful of about the regular grooming she will require to keep her looking like the pretty cat that she is. With the right home, she is sure to make a lovely addition to the family. Cleo does have some health issues which will be discussed further with successful applicants.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Bear

Bear is described as a Rottweiler Cross. Can live with Children Dogs Bear is looking for an owner who have had big dogs before and can continue his basic training. He would like access to a garden, so he has another space to run around in. He may be able to live with high school aged children who are dog savvy and possibly another dog who won’t be worried by his size. Bear is truly a super friendly, lovable goof ball who loves saying to hello to everyone he meets. He loves human company so much that he can find it difficult being on his own so his new owner will have to be willing to work on gradually building up his leaving hours over time. He does not realise his own size and can be boisterous at times so would be best suited to an owner who are confident in handling large dogs and are committed to working on his basic training to help him become a well-mannered, polite boy. He is full of energy, enjoys long walks and loves running around our paddocks with a soft toy in his mouth. Bear does play nicely with other dogs most of the time but can sometimes get a bit over the top. He may be able to live with another dog who matches his energy pending a successful introduction.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Teddy

Teddy is described as a Lurcher. Home Requirements An experienced owner An active owner A home with garden Teddy is looking for an experienced and active owner who have an understanding of nervous dogs. He would like access to his own private garden so he has his own safe space to enjoy the outdoors, and he will need to be kept company all day. Teddy is looking to be the only pet in an adult only home. Teddy is a bit of a sensitive soul but, with time and patience, has the potential to make a fantastic companion. He lacks in confidence when it comes to saying hello to new people and is still currently undergoing training so his new owners must be prepared to visit him at the Home a few times to do some training sessions before he is ready to leave. Teddy is extremely affectionate and loving once he knows you. He is loyal to his favourite people and is very eager to please, particularly when you have a tasty bit of cheese or hot dog on offer. He is full of energy who loves running around chasing after his toys and is known to get the zoomies when you take him to the beach so he will need to be kept active, so he doesn’t become bored. Teddy does get on with other dogs, and he will benefit having confident dog walking buddies to go out with, but he can be a bit much for some so is best suited as an only pet so his new owners can focus on him.

Arlo and Poppy are an adorable duo who can be a little shy to begin with when meeting new people but are quick to come around. They are both very much lap dogs and would happily curl up for all the affection and loving they deserve. They do enjoy human company and can struggle being left alone so would like an understanding owner who have the patience to gradually build up their leaving hours over time.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Rocky

Rocky is described as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Can live with Teenagers Rocky has been matched to several applicants now which means we are no longer accepting new interest for him. Rocky is looking for an active owner who has owned a dog before and can keep him company most of the day until he settles into his new home. He may suit living with older dog savvy teens and is looking to be the only pet in his home. Rocky is a lovely boy who can be wary of new people but soon comes round with a tasty treat. He can be very food motivated but loves it so much that he has previously shown that he isn’t always keen to share so will need an understanding owner who can manage this. He’s full of energy and loves to go on walks to the beach where he can dip his paws in the water or do lots of sniffing. He would make an excellent running partner so would thrive with an active owner. Whilst Rocky needs to be the only pet, if introductions are done properly, he does have some doggy pals that he enjoys going out with. Rocky has had some veterinary treatment whilst with us, more information will be discussed with successful applicants.

Shadow is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with Teenagers Shadow is looking for an experienced owner who can keep him company for some of the day and he would like access outdoors via a window or door. He is looking to be the only pet but could live with older teenagers. Shadow is a sweet boy who can have a sensitive side when it comes to meeting new people or exploring new environments. He would like a patient, understanding owner who can give the reassurance he needs and provide him with hiding places like an igloo bed so he can take himself away if he feels too overwhelmed. He loves his food which can help win him over and give him a bit of confidence. Shadow has lot of love to give once he is comfortable with you and he doesn’t mind being picked up for a cuddle. He hasn’t shown much interest in playing but this may change once he has settled into his new home. He is however, quite inquisitive so would really enjoy having plenty of space outdoors to explore when the mood takes him.

New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Charmander

Charmander is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Can live with Teenagers Charmander is looking for an experienced cat owner who can keep him company for some of the day and he would like access outdoors via a window or door. He is looking to be the only pet but could live with older teenagers. Charmander is a happy, playful boy who is full of fun and loves chasing after his toys, especially noisy ones. As he is quite active, he would love to have access outside where he can roam till his heart is content. He is a massive foodie but can be bit too greedy at times so is always fed with a slow or puzzle feeder which he thoroughly enjoys. Whilst not overly affectionate, he does like human attention and fussing but only on his own terms which his new owner will need to be understanding of. After a day of eating and playing, he can usually be found lounging stretched out watching the world go by.

New dog listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Nala

Nala is described as a Lakeland Terrier. Home Requirements An experienced owner A quiet home A home with garden Nala is looking for a quiet home with an experienced owner who understand terriers and the quirks they can have. She will require access to her own private garden so she has a safe space to enjoy the outdoors away from other dogs. Nala will need to be the only pet in an adult only home. Nala may be small, but she does have a spicy personality. She certainly knows what she does and doesn’t like but, by managing her interactions carefully, her new owner can avoid any unnecessary frustrations. Nala can be loving and affectionate with those she knows, but can be nervous around unfamiliar people so the best thing is to give her space until she feels ready to say hello. The key to winning her over is by playing with her toys which she would happily do all day if you gave her the chance. She is uncomfortable around other dogs, but she does have bounds of energy to burn off so will require plenty of exercise in quieter areas to keep her happy and she may even enjoy doing scent work. Nala has a lot of potential to make a fantastic companion for someone willing to put the work and time into her.

Sandy is a lovely girl who can be unsure of new people to begin with, but with the help of a treat or her favourite toy, does warm up and enjoys a cuddle once she is comfortable with you. She can be worried by being handled too much and is wary in the vet, so she requires a very understanding owner who can see when she starts to feel uncomfortable and have the patience to help her through this. Sandy may be a little older, but this does not slow her down! She is full of energy; LOVES running around after her toys and thoroughly enjoys her walks. She would love to explore new places where she can put her nose to good use and would be happy to have dog walking buddies alongside her.

New dog listed for rescue at the Dumfries & Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Buster

Buster is described as a silver Crossbreed. Lovable guy looking for a second chance at life. This is the very handsome Buster. Recently life has thrown him a curve ball and he has found himself looking for a fresh start. He has been in the same home since he was a pup so this is all very new to him. His previous family said he was fine around children and cats, coped well around other dogs - although he isn't so keen on small dogs, travels well in the car and has been housetrained. He is an active boy who enjoys getting out and about and loves a good run in the paddock. History Buster's previous owners had to make the tough decision to rehome him due to their health issues. Re-homing Criteria Buster loves being out and about so he is looking for an owner who is up for daily walks and little adventures. He could potentially live with another dog and also could live with cats. His recall is ok but a secure garden would be ideal. He is happy to be left on his own for short periods of time.

New dog listed for rescue at the Saving and Rehoming Strays - Kimi

Kimi is described as a brown/white Mixed. Name: Kimi D.O.B: 10/12/2024 Gender: Female Location: Ayr, Scotland Kimi is an absolute poppet of a puppy and is actually one of a litter of EIGHT bothers and sisters … We will be travelling her beautiful mama and her 7 siblings soon, but as Kimi was poorly as a pup and needed to be taken away from the litter (who then would not accept her back), we decided to travel her first. I cannot begin to tell you how totally perfect she is and she’s as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside. Kimi is just the most friendly and loving little bundle of fluff you will EVER meet and is a firm favourite at the rescue. She loves everyone she meets and already has lots of human and doggy friends. She lives in the house and is already crate and house trained, but will need work with other basic training as she’s only a baby. We haven’t done any lead work with her yet, but I’m sure she will take that in her stride just like she has everything else. Kimi is currently 5 months old and is still quite small, so we expect her to be in the medium size range when fully grown, but obviously this is just a guess as we do not know who her daddy was. Kimi is fully vaccinated to UK standards, up to date with flea and worm treatments and has had a negative UK brucellosis test. She is not spayed as she is far too young and this will need to be done three months after her first season. If you have room in your heart and home for this stunning little love bug please pop on to our website at www.savingandrehomingstrays.org and complete an application form. Please note a home check and adoption fee apply....Thank you!

New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Mr Bean

Mr Bean is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Home Requirements An experienced owner Mr Bean is looking for an understanding, experienced owner who have had anxious cats before. He would like easy access outdoors via a window or door and will need to be kept company for most of the day, especially whilst he settles in. Mr Bean is looking for an adult only home where he will be the only pet. Mr Bean is a lovely but anxious boy who can take time making new friends. He is a boy who knows what he does and doesn’t like and can have a feisty side if his boundaries aren’t respected. For this reason, he wouldn’t be suitable to live with children and requires an understanding owner who can see when he starts to become over stimulated. Once he learns to trust you, Mr Bean will show you his loving and cuddly side and he particularly likes rolling around on your lap or getting head scratches. He can be quite demanding and vocal when he wants something whether that be food or attention so his new owner will need to be prepared for this! He enjoys puzzle feeders or watching the world go by from the top of his climbing tower and is a keen explorer so would love access outdoors so he has plenty of space to roam. Mr Bean has had treatment for his skin during his stay with us. More information will be discussed with successful applicants.
