Kuma is our pet of the week and she’s a beauty! She’s an Akita breed and will grow to demonstrate classic traits like loyalty and deep affection to her family. Which could be you!

She arrived into our care under unfortunate circumstances. She was underweight and her coat was in desperate need of a good brush (brushing her created a mound of fur visible from space).

She’s been in our care for a few months where she’s gained weight, become super friendly thanks to lost of walks, playing and socialising and she knows tricks like sit and shake paws. A wonderful pet!

We often get asked if our animals are ok with other pets – it’s always hard to say. Initially, probably not with Kuma, but in time, in a calm and loving home, she might do well with a canine friend.

Pixie is a very attractive cat who, depending on who you are, is hilarious. Our head of cattery and many volunteers have spent huge amounts of time getting her to relax and when they go into her condo, **swipe swipe** - she’s not happy.

Then when someone else, another staff member or volunteer walks in, she’s sweet and lets you pat her, strokes and chin rubs. No swipes.

We’re working hard to help her get consistent; friendly enough around most people however in your home, once adopted, we’re sure she’ll be quite nice.

The sure thing is she loves other cats. We had two other cats with her in a large condo and she very outgoing and welcoming, making best friends almost instantly. Ideally she could be adopted to a home with existing cats. She’ll love that.
