Felines

I

magine you’re taking a moment out of a busy day, relaxing in a comfy couch in a room painted in muted colours, perhaps a cup of coffee in your hand, and you are surrounded by a number of cats of all types vying for your attention. It almost feels like home – however you are actually working or volunteering at RSPCA and you are enjoying a break in the surrounds of our cat lounge. Our new cat lounge has been set up for visitors to our cattery so they can enjoy a relaxed environment whilst choosing their new feline friend. The lounge allows the cats to relax and exhibit their natural behaviour and show their true personalities. Our staff and volunteers also find the lounge a great place to wind down for a moment or two – although it can be addictive with all that love being shown by cats rubbing along the sides of your legs, or kneading at your lap. Our adoption numbers have been significantly higher this year for cats and kittens, and this can be attributed to a range of initiatives including educational advertisements, special adoption events, and the addition of our relaxed cat lounge, where the cats sell themselves by just showing their natural personalities and style.
