Cats Protection’s Mansfield Branch, on Mansfield Road, Warsop, was established in 1996 and has been a focus for cat lovers in the area ever since.
The branch saw a 34 per cent increase in the number of cats it was able to rehome in 2022 over the previous year.
With 448 passing through its doors, cats are admitted to the centre for different reasons, from an owner passing away to a change in living circumstances.
Check out 11 of the cats at the centre needing a new home, along with their stories.
5. Daisy
Daisy is a beautiful cat who would suit a quieter home with an experienced cat owner. As she is still settling into life at the centre, she is a little worried currently but does enjoy curling up on a lap and having a fuss when in a home environment. She would need to be the only pet in her new home. Photo: Submitted
6. Ella
Ella was taken into the centre having been born into a feral colony, thus the ear tip. She is a quiet cat but loves a fuss and cuddle on her terms. Photo: Submitted
7. Heather
Heather was born to an outside mum, and staff are unsure how much human interaction she’d had before coming into their care. Due to this, she can be a little unsure when first meeting people, but she is cheeky, curious and loving. Photo: Submitted
8. Mr Pebbles
Mr Pebbles is a sweet cat who could live with other cats or a cat-friendly dog in his new home. He can be a little quiet at first, but once he is familiar with people, he loves a head tickle and a fuss. Photo: Submitted
