Understanding Our Cats Behaviour

Trying to help the cats in our care

Sandy - highly intelligent boy who is bored and sad.

Dealing with so many cats in one place you see many personalities and characters. Not all cats settle into cattery life immediately and these cats need extra TLC. It can be a stressful environment especially for the cat that dislikes other cats. The cats in our care have lost their home, been parted from their owner and struggle to understand why they have been left at CP. People cats – those cats that have had a very close relationship with an owner cat become depressed leading to a change in their behaviour.  They can become introverted and unresponsive to the staff. Other cats will feel insecure and frightened being surrounded by lots of other cats leading to frustration at not being able to get away.

Both behaviours require patience and our dedicated staff and volunteers to spend quality time with these cats to ensure their stay with us is as comfortable as possible. Our vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs.  Can you offer a home for one of our lonely cats and give them the love they need.

Sylvester - larger than life amusing cheeky chap like his namesake. Loves to play in his tunnels but unhappy about being confined.

Ralphie - stunning looking cat but he is upset and confused about being at CP. He is stressed and frustrated and needs understanding owner.
