UNFORTUNATELY the owner of these cats was going into hospital and had no option but to give them up for adoption.

Mischief is a lovely five-year-old placid boy who needs love and attention, and is a bit taller than your average cat. Toulouse is two-years-old and just likes to sit on laps and be spoiled.

As this pair have always been together, Cumnock and Doon valley Cats Protection would prefer to home them together, but would reluctantly consider splitting them up only for a very special home.

Every cat that is adopted from Cumnock and Doon Valley Cats Protection will have been examined by a veterinary surgeon at MBM in Mauchline will be microchipped, vaccinated, neutered if old enough and comes with four week’s free insurance.

They provide these benefits and treatments so new owners don’t have to deal with these important issues following adoption, which is a big plus for money-conscious owners. They have a register for lost and found cats, so you can report your cat, with a picture if possible, for inclusion on their web site.
