Hi, I’m Buddy!
I’m 13, but nobody told me that. I still zoom around, play, and have an elite-level cuddle addiction. My foster fam even had to double-check my ID because they couldn’t believe my age!
These days I’m enjoying the good life: soft sofas, warm laps, Netflix marathons, and keeping an eye on my foster mum while she works (someone has to make sure the cuddles keep coming). I bond deeply with my people and feel happiest when...

Meet Xena, the gentle warrior princess!
Xena had a rough start to life after being found under a house before coming into foster care, but she is slowly coming into her own.
Her new family needs to understand that Xena is a special cat, who may spend the first few weeks under the bed, where she feels the most comfortable and safe. She requires time and patience to become the cat she deserves to be. You can't push her for affection or attention, she will come to you in her own time. But when she deems you trustworthy, you get all the smoochers and lap cat naps your heart desires. When she has had enough social interaction, she will revert back to the safety of under the bed to recharge.
Xena is slowly showing her playful side, by starting play fights with her foster brother or playing with drawstring waved in front of her face.
Xena's Dislikes: - Being picked up when it's not on her terms - Her cat carrier and will let you know, the only time she is really vocal - Loud noises or movements
Xena would not be suited to a home with children and would probably prefer a home with another calm cat to keep bringing her out of her shell. Xena is looking for a gentle person or couple who has the patience and kindness to keep helping her become a confident queen. Xena must continue to live an inside only lifestyle in her forever home for her own safety.
Xena is desexed, microchipped and up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.
😻 HERCULE POIROT 😻 BREED: Domestic Short Hair GENDER: Male AGE: 8 months MICROCHIP: 956000017372533 SOURCE: RE100238
Detective Hercule Poirot is on the case… of finding his forever home!
Poirot may have had a rough start before entering foster care, but this clever little detective is piecing together the clues of love and trust. He can be shy at first, but once you’re in his good books, he’ll greet you at the door, purr like mad, and chat away at dinnertime.
Now that he’s cracked the case of friendship, Poirot is super friendly with the people he knows and loves nothing more than curling up in your lap on a fluffy blanket in the evening. The key to his heart? Being hand-fed tube treats — his absolute favourite!
Poirot is a powerhouse at “catnip hour,” bouncing around like a true sleuth in action and cheekily pouncing on feet hiding under blankets. He adores other cats, so he’ll need a feline friend in his new home (or he can bring his mum, Agatha Christie, along for the adventure).
Poirot prefers a calm environment without young children and has been an indoor-only kitty (with access to an outdoor cat enclosure).
With patience, kindness, and a touch of humour, this charming investigator will become a loyal and loving companion.
Could you be the next great character in Poirot’s story?

Xena reminds me of my sweet boy who we adopted in 2016. They even look similar. He will be 17 in February 🩷 If it wasn't for having a child I would love to welcome Xena into our family. I hope she finds her forever home.
Shane she has handsome floofy neck and chest fuzz 😍
