The Peterborough Telegraph is running regular spotlights on animals that need new homes to support the work of animal charities in the Peterborough area.
The Peterborough and District Branch of the RSPCA do so much to rescue, nurture and subsequently rehome all kinds of pets in the area. They have continued to operate throughout lockdown and within a small radius are still permitted to rehome these animals.
Below are a selection of those that have been rescued and are in need of their forever home.
To find more details on each cat and to search for more rescue animals, visit www.rspca.org.uk/findapet/rehomeapet/process.
The RSPCA are funded entirely by public donations and receive no government money and therefore rely on the generosity of the public. Anyone wishing to support their work do so via www.rspca.org.uk/getinvolved/donate.

This is Peanut and Blue. They both arrived at the centre after living in a multi animal house hold. They have always lived together which is the reason why we are looking for them to go to their forever home together. They are both a very adorable pair that really do devote on each other. They are both each others shadows and can always be found snuggled up with each other. They are a little shy when around people however they are both comfortable to be in our company. They are both fine to be handled even though they don't particularly enjoy it. Peanut does suffer from a blocked right tear duct in her eye. This has been seen here by our vet at the centre and sadly it is going to be something she will suffer with throughout her life. It is important that the person who is going to adopt them is going to understand that this is something that will need to be monitored constantly. Even with this issue Peanut doesn't let it bother her and will go about her normal daily life. Photo: Midlands

Meet Pigtail & Truffles!! This piggy duo are currently living together here at Block Fen and are quickly becoming firm friends after being introduced to each other recently by our Animal Care team. Both these girls have previously lived in less than ideal conditions and have been slowly getting used to living as pigs should. They love to play together and run in the paddock as well as root whilst investigating the ground and foraging for food. Pigtail can be a cheeky girl and will do almost anything for food, she will often run from one side of the paddock to the other if she thinks you might have a tasty treat for her! Truffles can be quite sensitive and may need more of a gentle approach when it comes to interactions, she is a very sweet pig though and is very gentle when taking her favourite treats from your hand. Any potential adopters will need to have the relevant holding licence, some hard standing and a spacious paddock so these girls can display all their natural behaviours Photo: Midlands

Slinky arrived at the centre after living in a multi guinea pig house hold. Now that he is has settled in and has gotten to know us here he is looking for his forever home. Slinky is a shy boy which we believe is due to not being socalised at a young age. After spending for time with him he has grown in confidence however, his shy nature does still show through. We are looking for Slinky to go to a home with some females as we feel this may help him become more comfortable. Slinky does get really excited when he knows that he is about to get his veggies. He will display this by squealing very loudly. Although Slinky doesn't enjoy being picked up he will tolerate it and allow you to handle him when needed. Slinky is neutered but will be unable to bond with any females until 23/12/21. Photo: Midlands
