RSPCA Cat Rehoming

Kitty and Jane
Little girls Jane and Kitty are playful, chunky little sweethearts with beautiful thick soft fur.
They came from a household with other kittens, and none of them had been given enough attention. This means that our two babies are quite shy, and still learning not to be scared by people and to accept cuddles and strokes. They will happily take treats by hand, and loves to play.
Jane and Kitty are living in a fosterer’s home and making great progress with a programme of confidence-building, and we are looking for a special adopter who is used to cats, and willing to spend the time with them to continue her training.
In return these sweet little girls will be able to give you all the love that they're desperate to share.
They are available for adoption together or seperately – here’s a video of them together:
