Stray Pets Rescue Club: cats Leah and Sox and Cynthia the dog need a loving home

The Stray Pets Rescue Club is our monthly profile of animals in and around the Harrogate district, in desperate need of a loving home. Could Leah, Cynthia or Sox find their new family with you? 

Leah – Short Haired Cat 


Age: Approx 6 years old

Leah’s story: When Leah came to Harrogate Cat Rescue, she was terrified of humans and it became clear she had been abused. Through care and patience she is now affectionate once she gets to know you.

Temperament: Leah may be a little nervous at first, but loves being stroked and fussed and will always come for her favourite Dreamie treats.

Ideal home: Leah will ned a safe place while she settles into her new home, like a covered bed. She has never been outside so needs to remain as an indoor cat.

To find out more about Leah and how you can help, contact Celia at Harrogate Cat Rescue on 07749 461042

Cynthia – dog


Age: Approx 2 years old

Cynthia’s story: Cynthia arrived at Miss Mollies Rescue from Romania where she had been rescued from the streets.

Temperament: Before arriving in Harrogate, Cynthia hadn’t had any training and was very anxious. She’s now gained her confidence, can do basic commands and walks well on a lead.

Ideal home: Cynthia’s new home needs a nice garden, and children must be over 12. She can be homed with another dog, and will need an owner who is around a lot of the time with the patience to help her gain more confidence.

If Cynthia could become part of your family, get in touch with Miss Mollie’s Rescue. 

Sox – Short Haired Cat 


Age: 7 years old

Sox’s story: Sox is looking for a long term foster home. Although he is fit and well, he does have epilepsy, which is controlled by medication. He hasn’t had a seizure for over a year though, so it’s well controlled.

Temperament: Sox is a happy, friendly boy who has lived with a calm dog before.

Ideal home: Sox needs a long term foster home; all of his veterinary bills will be covered by Harrogate Cat Rescue, who will also fully support the fosterer. Once he’s settled in, he will be able to have a wander outside in a safe environment.

If you could be a foster carer for Sox, contact Celia at Harrogate Cat Rescue on 07749 461042.

Stray Pets Rescue Club: George, Rupert and Biggie need your help

The Stray Pets Rescue Club is our monthly profile of animals in and around the Harrogate district, in desperate need of a loving home. Could you help these three dogs find a new family? 

George – Retriever Cross


Age: Approximately four

George’s story: George was found by a Romanian rescue, who asked Miss Mollies Rescue to give him a second chance. He has been with Mollies for about four weeks.

Temperament: George is incredibly energetic and has a very lively personality. He gets on well with other dogs, and loves people.

Ideal home: George will need a very active home, preferably with adults or older teenagers because he is so lively. He will also need a home where he will have company most of the time.

If your family has space for George, contact Miss Mollie’s Rescue. 

Rupert – Coonhound


Age: 13

Rupert’s story: Rupert came to the RSPCA York, Harrogate and District Branch after his previous owner sadly died. He was devoted to his owner, and has struggled to come to terms with his loss.

Temperament: Rupert struggles to trust people he doesn’t know, so adopters will need to do more than one meet and greet before adopting him. Once he knows you, his true cheeky character starts to shine through.

Ideal home: Rupert will need experienced adopters who have the time and patience to help him settle and feel space. He can feel intimidated in small, confined spaces. He will need an adult only home where he is the only pet.

For Rupert to become part of your family, visit the RSPCA York, Harrogate and District website.

Biggie – Chihuahua


Age: Five to seven

Biggie’s story: Biggie was found in a very bad state, underweight and suffering with a painful skin condition. With the help of Dogs Trust Leeds, he’s bounced back brilliantly.

Temperament: Because of his skin problems, Biggie doesn’t like too much handling, especially around his ears and neck. So instead of snuggling on your knee he will show his love for you in other ways like playtime. He likes chasing a ball and really enjoys his walks.

Ideal home: Biggie will need patient owners who will let him slowly settle into his new life. He will need a secure garden and may need a little refresher for housetraining. Biggie is fine around other dogs but isn’t really interested in them, so doesn’t want to share his home with other pets.

To find out more about Biggie and the adoption process, visit Dogs Trust Leeds.
