Dorset RSPCA: 6 pets who are looking for new homes

Located on the border with Hampshire, the centre offers care for its animals in rural surroundings.

A few animals from the centre are listed below but more can be found on the centre's website.

To help the Ashley Heath Animal Centre carry on their work you can donate to their website here.

Daisy

Age - Three to six months old

Breed - Crossbreed/Unknown

Colour - Black and Tan

Daisy is a very small crossbreed who was removed from a multi-dog household before coming to the care of the RSPCA.

The centre has discovered that she is blind but that doesn't hold her back as she is still a very affectionate and friendly dog.

She enjoys sitting on laps and "taking as much fuss and love you can offer".

Due to having no sight, Daisy is easily startled and worried by dogs that are too boisterous.

Therefore, she will need a calm and predictable home where there will not be too much changing of her environment. .

Initially, she will require someone at home throughout the day to help settle her into the new environment.

Daisy will require neutering at the centre when she is old enough so the RSPCA are looking to rehome her within a 1.5-hour radius of the centre.

Sebastian and Cindy

Age - Three to six months old

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

Colour - Black, Grey and White

Sebastian and Cindy are a brother and sister pairing who are looking to find a new home together.

They love to play with each other and their confidence is increased by being together.

Ideally, they are looking for a patient adopter who will allow them to gain their trust and feel comfortable in a home environment.

The RSPCA adds: "Due to their nervousness we would advise they were kept indoors until they were settled and fully bonded with their new family, it is expected that this would be a minimum of 3 months in the home prior to going outside. They will need a home in a quiet location without lots of cars."

Fergal

Age - Three to six months old

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

Colour - Black and White

Fergal came into the care of the RSPCA after being found as a kitten on his own and is looking for an alternative living arrangement.

He will need understanding owners who will respect his personal space and accept that he may always be a "hands-off" cat.

Due to his lack of socialisation, he will need to be placed in a rural location where he can have his own safe space.

The RSPCA adds: "He will need protection of an indoor space such as a barn/stable/garage where he can be confined in initially whilst he adjusts to his new environment before being allowed to explore the bigger outside world."

Moana

Age - Eight years old

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

Colour - Grey/White

If you want to adopt Moana you can view their full profile here.

Moana came to the centre from a multi-cat household with limited socialisation, but she has come around to trusting people she knows.

She is very shy so would be best suited in an adult-only home and would need to be kept indoors at first so she could get used to the environment.

Moana didn't have access to the outside in her previous home so will need a home in a quiet location away from busy roads.

Once she gets to know you she does love to be stroked on her cheeks and will give you head bumps.

Missy came into the RSPCA's care heavily pregnant and was lucky enough to go into a foster home with her kittens once she gave birth.

Now she has had time to rest she is looking to find a place of her own.

She is quite an affectionate cat but isn't too keen on being picked up.

Missy could share a house with another friendly cat or dog as well as children.
