Sparta


My name is Sparta and I need my new home
Gender: Female
DOB: Sparta is approx 10 years old
Colour: White and black
History: Sparta is a senior cat who has come back into rescue after becoming unhappy and unsettled in her long term home
Needs: Sparta has had issues with a flea allergy, which led to skin issues and losing her fur, but with treatment this is now under control. She will need someone who is very diligent with her flea treatments to keep on top of it. She is also very food orientated and can gorge on her food, leading her to overeat and vomit, so she needs her feeds carefully monitored with door feeders etc.
Character: Sparta is a very loving, sociable cat who loves attention. Her foster mum has found that using slow feeding bowls, angled bowls, and puzzle mats are the best ways to deal with her food obsession. Her food must be stored where she can not get to it, to ensure she doesn’t steal it, as she is very cheeky and will find a way to open it if left unattended. She happily uses a litter tray. She can overgroom herself, which could stem from her skin issues, but she is easily distracted away from it. Sparta can be quite chatty in the mornings whilst waiting for her breakfast to be prepared. She loves to have company and purrs loudly to show her appreciation when she’s being fussed over.

Zorro and Zippi


Our names are Zorro and Zippi, and we need our new home
** We are a bonded pair and must be adopted together **
Gender: Both Male
DOB: March 2019
Colour: Zorro is brown/black Bengal.
Zippi is a seal mink Bengal.
History: They have been surrendered into rescue from a loving home, but need to be rehomed as they had started badly bullying another resident, female cat.
Needs: Either a Bengal savvy owner or someone who has done their research. They will need a large house with access to a catio, or possibly a very safe, rural garden.
Character: Both boys are quite shy at first, but they will soon learn to trust you and come for strokes, and they both have lovely purrs. Zorro has the cutest head wobble when he is concentrating on watching the squirrels and birds outside. He has always had this quirk, and the vet has confirmed that it really is just one of those things! He has the softest fur and is a big, gentle giant. Zippi is shyer and does like to find a place to hide until he feels confident and safe with you, and then he will come dashing over when you enter the room for a stroke. He is also quite chatty and does a little hiss and a growl but that’s just him saying hello, there is no malice in his little noises, I don’t think he realises he might come across as scary as he’s also a lovely softie! He was diagnosed with asthma several years ago but hasn’t had any need for his inhaler in 2-3 years. The vet has confirmed that his lungs sound perfect. However, to keep him healthy, it will be important that his new family don’t use diffusers or other scented products on a regular basis. They really aren’t lap cats but do approach for cuddles on their own terms. They are very clean in their litter tray and not greedy when it comes to their food. They like the laser light to chase and will occasionally bat a toy round but don’t play a lot. They do really enjoy looking out of the window, though, and watching the “Squirrel & Bird” live channel, though! To sum them up, they are a really lovely pair of chunky monkeys and will really blossom and show their personalities when they settle into their furrever home.

Where possible, we like to rehome young kittens in pairs.
As you will be aware, kittens are very playful and a new kitten will often see other cats as a playmate. Imagine your teenager being expected to play with their 5 year old sibling 24 hours a day, does anyone else feel a migraine coming at that thought? This can become a nuisance to the older cat and can sometime cause your existing cat stress or anxiety. Adopting 2 kittens means that the new kittens have a playmate and your older cat can go about their daily life without that nuisance.

Can’t Find the Right Cat?
Heronbank is looking for foster carers mostly for mums and kittens, litters of kittens and single young cats as we enter into kitten season. As a team we support you in every way! We cover everything from vet care, food, litter, toys etc. All we require from you is
- A safe space away from other animals
- Transport for vet runs to Mirfield and collection of items from Lockwood.
- Your own cats must be vaccinated
- Love and attention
We can match you up with your perfect foster cat/kittens depending on your family life. The aim of fostering isn’t to keep the cat or kittens but we do have lots of fosters that have adopted so please let us know if you are looking to adopt too. If you can help, please give it a try!
