Stray Pets Rescue Club: Do you have space in your heart for Trix, Rupert or Dapple and Tricky?
Trix the cat, Rupert the dog and rabbits Dapple and Tricky are in need of their forever home. Do you have space in your heart for one of these animals?
The Stray Pets Rescue Club is our monthly profile of rescue animals in and around the Harrogate district, searching for their forever family home. This month Trix, Rupert, Dapple and Tricky are looking for a home.
Trix
Age: Eight months oldTrix's Story: Trix was born with a congenital defect of her sternum, Pectus Excavatum. This required very specialist surgery and repeated operations to try and correct the defect so that she could breathe more normally.
Temperament: Trix has now been given a new lease of life and has now been able to play and run around like any other kitten, with lots of rest in between.
Ideal home: She needs an adult only home where someone is around most of the time. Trix would enjoy the company of gentle cat companions and although she will be timid to begin with once she gets to know you she is very affectionate.
Could you give Trix a loving home? Get in touch with Harrogate Cat Rescue.
Rupert
Age: three-years-oldRupert's story: Rupert is a sweet boy who came into the care of RSPCA after his owner could no longer meet his needs.
Temperament: This sweet pup is friendly and likes to be out and about meeting people and other dogs but he isn't too leen on being left alone. He will need to be at home most of the time while he learn it's ok to be left alone.
Ideal home: He is a very active dog so needs equally active adopters to give him the exercise he needs. Rupert will need a home where there is a secure fully enclosed garden with a six-foot fence. Rupert could live with another dog after a successful introduction at the centre and could live with children aged 10 years and over.
Could Rupert fit in with you and your life? Get in touch with RSPCA York, Harrogate & District Branch.
Dapple and Tricky
Age: AdultDapple and Tricky's Story: Dapple came to the centre as an unclaimed stray, she had an injury to one of her toes which unfortunately was too old to be fixed so she had it amputated. Tricky is a sweet little rabbit who was born at the centre after his mum and dad were not wanted by their previous owner any longer.
Temperament: Dapple has great character and is a cheeky, happy girl but is also quite independent and likes to keep herself to herself and does not enjoy much handling. Tricky is a young, cheeky and playful little boy. These two rabbits have been bonded here at the centre and they love each other so much.
Ideal home: They would be suitable to live with children aged 14 years and over. Their home needs a hutch that is a minimum of six-foot with an attached run of a minimum eight-foot.
If you have space for these furry friends, get in touch with RSPCA York, Harrogate & District Branch.
