Layla's waiting to be by your side
Name: Layla
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Female
What type of home do I need? See Laylas's Gallery below
Personality & Features
Do you like cats better than people? Meet Layla - the cat who likes people better than cats!
Layla is the sort of cat who makes you earn her affection – and that is exactly what makes it so special. She is not the type of cat who will come marching up to a stranger demanding cuddles; instead, she will sit at a safe distance, watch you carefully, and only then will she open her heart to you.
But once you are in, you are really in.
The moment Layla decides she trusts you, she transforms into an incredibly loving, affectionate girl. She will seek you out for fuss, quietly follow you from room to room, and settle herself beside you as though she has always belonged there. She loves a gentle stroke, a cosy spot near her favourite person, and being spoken to like the queen she clearly believes she is. Beneath that guarded exterior is a cat who wants nothing more than to bond deeply with someone and have a person of her very own.
Layla is looking for someone who will let her come to them, who will smile when she gives them a cautious look from across the room, and who will understand that every tiny sign of trust is a huge milestone. The first time she chooses to sit beside you, rub against your legs, or curl up near you, it feels like a privilege.
Whoever gives Layla the chance she deserves will gain a fiercely loyal, wonderfully loving companion, with an enormous heart hidden beneath that slightly cautious exterior.
Sociability & Special Considerations
Layla is very much a “one family, one home” sort of cat. She thrives in a calm environment where she can settle at her own pace and build trust slowly. She would suit someone who understands that not every cat shows affection immediately, and that the most rewarding relationships are sometimes the ones that take a little patience.
One thing Layla is very clear about, however, is that she has absolutely no interest in making feline friends. For that reason, Layla needs a home where she will be the only pet. She wants all of the attention, all of the affection, all of the comfy spots, and all of the treats entirely to herself – and honestly, after meeting her, you may find yourself agreeing that she deserves exactly that.

Find Your Furever with Atlas, at Pawsitive Cattitudes
He's going to be your whole world!
Name: Atlas
Age: Approximately 5 years old
Gender: Male
What type of home do I need? See Atlas's Gallery below
Personality & Features
Magnificent Atlas, now done with his time of mapping the world (well, the streets of Teesside, but we wont tell him that!) has decided it's to find someone who will be his whole world - and he'll certainly be theirs.
Atlas is a big, beautiful boy who loves to cuddle up between his play times. After his time on the streets, he does like to run around at full speed, often forgetting to give himself stopping distance and crashing into the sofa (as well as straight into your heart!) However, show him a comfy sofa or a snuggly duvet, and he'll give you a world-class demonstration of just how comfortable a cat can be!
He's incredibly loving and confident, but is also happy to let you know when he just wants to chill out and reflect on his plans for world domination. He'll gladly cuddle up on a knee, either having those all-important strokes and head scratches, or sometimes just without being fussed for a short time when he's concentrating on important dilemmas (tuna or chicken for dinner?!)
Sociability & Special Considerations
Atlas would do brilliantly in a home with adults, or in a family with older children. He enjoys playing with other cats, although can be a bit boisterous! He loves human company and would be equally happy as an only cat; a home with dogs, however, is absolutely out of the question.

Find Your Furever with Florence, at Pawsitive Cattitudes
Floofy Florence
Name: Florence
Age: 6 years old
Gender: Female
What type of home do I need? See Florence's Gallery below
Personality & Features
Florence absolutely loves to be up high when she's on her own - on top of fridges & kitchen cupboards - and will hugely appreciate it if you make her a cat wall!
On her own, she is demanding of love and cuddles constantly. She perches on the back of the sofa to sit for hours with her head on a shoulder, purring away and having little head strokes. Be prepared to get nothing done when she comes to sit on your lap and demand that you stay there as her chief pamperer.
However, this won't happen overnight in a new home, and anyone meeting or wanting to share their lives with Florence needs to understand that it will take time and patience for her to be like this with a new person, as she had a very difficult time in her previous life and patience is needed to gain her trust.
Florence is a cat who is incredibly loving and affectionate - but this will take time as she gets to know you. She struggles with visits, as people (understandably) only stay for around an hour, so her true personality rarely properly shines through and she doesn't show the best of who she is.
Sociability & Special Considerations
Having learnt that people can be kind and loving, Florence has not had the easiest of starts, so MUST have a home where any children are consistently calm and considerate. Ideally, either everyone would be over the age of 14, or the children in the home are very soft-natured and there are no other regular young visitors.
She would do best in a home on her own, with an adult owner, as she is most happy in the company of just one or two people, or just with her her own beautiful thoughts.
