🐾 Meet Mango & Chutney – Two Shy 4-Month-Old Kittens Looking for a Forever Home 🐾
Mango and Chutney are a sweet pair of 4-month-old kittens who’ve had a tough start. They’re under-socialised and not used to being handled, which means they’re shy around people and need time, patience, and a calm environment to build trust.
They’ll need a calm, patient adopter who understands that these kittens won’t become cuddly companions overnight — and may always prefer to keep their distance. That said, in the right environment, they have the potential to grow in confidence over time.
Once neutered, they will need safe outdoor access, ideally in a quiet location away from busy roads.
🐾 They need:
A quiet, adult-only home
Someone experienced with very shy cats
To be adopted together – they’re a bonded pair
Access to a safe garden or outdoor space once neutered

🐾 Meet Cindy – Your Purrfect Companion! 🐾
Looking for a loyal, affectionate feline friend? Cindy is a sweet and friendly 8-year-old girl who’s ready to find her forever home!
🐱 About Cindy:
Cindy is a lovely, laid-back lady with a gentle nature and a big heart (and a slightly too-big waistline!). She loves attention, chin scratches, and curling up in cozy spots for a nap. She’s also curious and enjoys exploring, so a home with safe indoor and outdoor access would be ideal.
🏡 Cindy’s Ideal Home:
Pet-free: Cindy prefers to be the queen of her castle, so she needs a home with no other pets.
Indoor/Outdoor Access: She enjoys the freedom to roam and sniff around the garden, but also loves her creature comforts inside.
Supportive Owner: Cindy is a bit on the chunky side, so she’ll need someone who can help her stay active and manage her diet to get back to a healthy weight.
💖 At 8 years old, Cindy is the perfect mix of relaxed and affectionate — past the chaos of kittenhood but still full of love and life. Could you be the one to help her live her best (and healthiest!) life?

Breed: Marley
Sex: Female
Age: 4 years
Key information: Sweet and loving girl, could possibly live with another sighthound. Cant live with cats or small furries. Can live with children 12 years or over.
🐾 Meet Marley – A Sweet, Gentle Soul Looking for Her Forever Home 🐾
Marley is a beautiful 4-year-old greyhound with a calm, affectionate nature and a heart as soft as her silky coat. She’s a true companion – loyal, quiet, and happiest when she’s by your side. Whether she’s pottering around the garden or snoozing on a soft bed, Marley brings a peaceful presence to any home.
Marley is an ex-racing Greyhound with a strong instinct to chase small furries. Because of this, she wears a muzzle and stays on lead during her walks – but don’t worry, Marley is more than comfortable with her accessories and wears them with ease (and style!).
She previously sustained an injury to her right front leg, which is being carefully monitored. At present, she is on lead-only exercise 🚶♀️ and is responding well to daily pain relief. It is not yet known whether she will need this medication for the rest of her life, but she may require ongoing support and gentle management.
If you can offer Marley a quiet, loving home where she can enjoy the comfort and companionship she deserves, we’d love to hear from you.
Give Marley the second chance she deserves – she’ll thank you with endless love and loyalty. 🐶💕

Breed: Lady
Sex: Female
Age: 3 years
Key information: Calm girl who is very friendly and sweet. She does not need a lot of exercise, a garden is a must, can live with children over the age of 12 years old and could possibly live with another dog.
Lady is a sweet, affectionate girl who adores attention, a cosy bed, and simply being by your side. She arrived at Borders Pet Rescue as a stray, so we don’t know much about her past – but what we do know is that she is an absolute star in the office! Lady is happiest when curled up nearby, contentedly snoozing (with the occasional snore!) while you go about your day.
Lady does have some health issues caused by irresponsible breeding. Her very short nose makes breathing difficult, especially in the heat or during exercise. Because of this, she prefers short potters close to home or gentle wanders around the garden. She’s not a dog who enjoys long walks, and she’ll be happiest in a calm environment with minimal physical demands.
Lady also suffers from a condition called entropion, where her eyelashes grow inwards toward her eyes. Thankfully, this can be corrected with surgery, and Borders Pet Rescue will cover the full cost of this operation.
Lady is looking for a quiet, loving home with:
Minimal stairs
A secure garden where she can safely explore
Kind, understanding owners who will cherish her for who she is
She may not be the most energetic dog, but she more than makes up for it in love and loyalty. Lady is gentle, soulful, and incredibly easy to care for. She walks beautifully on the lead, enjoys human company, and always tries her best to please.
She’s searching for someone special who can see beyond her physical challenges and appreciate the truly beautiful soul within. If you’re looking for a devoted, low-maintenance companion who will fill your home with warmth and quiet affection, Lady might just be the perfect match for you.
if you think you could offer Lady a home, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
