Cats Protection Halifax, Huddersfield and Wakefield: Bonded cat sisters who had a rough start in life in need of new home

Ivy and Willow were discovered as kittens living in a garden before being taken into the care of Cats Protection Halifax, Huddersfield and Wakefield.

They were initially timid but their volunteer foster carer worked hard to make them feel comfortable and bring them out of their shells.

Volunteers were delighted when they were adopted but after two months they found themselves homeless again when the owner found they were no longer able to provide the kittens with the care they needed.

Still only 11 months old, they are now seeking a home where they can come and go as they please, while still getting plenty of attention.

Stella Steele, Branch Development Manager, said: “Ivy and Willow are beautiful sisters who have a strong bond so need to stay together. While they can be shy at first, they soon warm up and love a stroke.

“They both enjoy being outside, and Willow in particular spends a lot of time outdoors, so a home with easy access to the outdoors is a must.

"An experienced cat owner will understand that they may take time to adapt to their new surroundings, having had such an unsettled start.”
