Handsome fluffball Spruce suffered a ruptured eyeball that was left untreated so he was immediately operated on by the RSPCA vets to remove the defunct eye and save his life. This high energy kitten is also incredibly cuddly and loves nothing more than to be held in your arms and snuggled. When he is tired out he loves a lap cuddle, but equally he is self-reliant, so doesn't require constant attention. Due to his loss of vision he has to be kept indoors.placeholder image

12 charming animals currently residing at the RSPCA in Manchester are looking for their forever loving homes.

With the ongoing cost of living crisis, many pet owners are resorting to placing their furry companions in the RSPCA’s care, as they can sadly no longer afford to look after them.

Here are all the gorgeous furry friends currently being cared for at the RSPCA Salford and Manchester branch that have not found their perfect family – could it be you?

Take a look at the latest adorable bunch including handsome kitten Spruce.

For information on how to adopt any of the animals email [email protected] or [email protected].

Laurel is a one-two year-old girl looking for a peaceful, adult only home to rest her paws. She came into RSPCA care with 6 newborn kittens after the rescue she was living in was closed. Laurel now spends as much time as she can sitting on her foster carer's lap, asking for strokes and generally being an affectionate, interactive house guest. She loves to watch the activities of the squirrels and birds in the garden, and is clearly interested in the outdoors.

On the lookout for an adorable, ready-made piggy pair - with great hair dos, to boot? Then look no further! Moretti (black and white, 18 months) and Rossellini (ginger and white, 12 months) are a bonded pair of piggy boys. The lads are very much typical guinea pigs. Their favourite things to do are tunnel through deep hay, gnaw on their cardboard boxes, and wheek for veggies! The boys are still quite shy, and derive most comfort from being close to each other, snuggled up in their hay.

Venus and Serena are the best of friends and take great pleasure in playing, napping and feasting together. They are both very fond of their grub and will come running to the door of their pen as soon as they spot you heading their direction. Venus (smooth coat) is the more placid of the duo. She is a gentle, sweet rabbit who will politely nudge your feet to gain your attention and enjoys some soft head rubs when the mood strikes her. Serena (fluffy coat) is a stunning bundle of fluff and will do the most amazing binkies when it comes to feeding time as well as steal food from her sister!
