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.
9. Phoenix
Phoenix’s world was turned upside down when his owner was evicted from their home. He had lived previously as a house cat, so life in the centre was a big shock for Phoenix, and he’s still struggling to find his feet, but he is being seen more regularly by staff. Phoenix would suit a quieter home and has lived with other cats. Photo: Submitted
10. Reggie
Reggie is a terrific tabby who’s looking for a new home as the only cat in the household. He was shy for his first few days in the centre, but Reggie is now showing what a friendly cat he really is. Reggie has previously lived with children, so he may be happy to live in a household with children. Photo: Submitted
11. Theo
Theo is a friendly, loving cat who has lived with children and may be happy to do so again. He is a young, playful cat who loves a cuddle. Photo: Submitted
