Giggs & Eric

Giggs & Eric are both 3 year old black and white females (owners are football fans!) in desperate need of a new home. They are very affectionate loving cats. They are reluctantly having to be re-homed as their owners moved from a house to a narrow boat and both cats have since fallen into the water three times each. Luckily the owners were there, heard them fall in and were able to get them out,but they are terrified that they may not be so fortunate next time. Both cats are neutered, chipped and vaccinated. Both cats need to be re-homed together.

Dolly is very pretty and full of beans, very playful & boisterous.  Can get a bit carried away out of enthusiasm and attention seeking rather than any sort of aggression. As soon as you open the door she is there looking for attention.  Tends to keep away from the main group of cats and tucks her self away but doesn't necessarily dislike other cats- I think she's just found her spot.  Not suitable to live with young children.  Adoption subject to homecheck and adoption fee.

She is okay with some other dogs not all, will sometimes bark and was attacked by a dog in the past, although she would benefit from living with another dog if it was calm. Kimi is currently staying at the Sanctuary. Adoption subject to homecheck and adoption fee.

Buster
3 year old Buster is a very loving and content dog with great enthusiasm for walks and playing outside but settles quickly and will lay quietly around the house, quite content with his own company.Buster loves EVERYONE. His tendency to play does get the better of him so would needs to be homed either alone or with a dog who already has good training and boundaries. Buster although a joy, rarely follows basic commands and pulls on the lead but has already made an improvement and would learn quickly with someone consistent and firm with the rules. Recall will need some work. Overall Buster is a beautiful dog who would fit into a family and be a perfect pet just the way he is but has the potential to be outstanding with a little training. Fully house trained. Sleeps in a crate overnight. Does not chew or dig! Plays ball and eats well.  Buster is good with children but doesn’t like cats.  He is lucky enough to be staying in a foster home in Bicester.  Adoption subject to homecheck and adoption fee.
