Garfield is a handsome ginger boy looking for a calm home to make his own. He is around five months old and is a sociable chap once he's got over his initial wariness of new people. His favourite toys are little springs and balls which he will happily throw and chase around his pen. He could live with children of a secondary school age and possibly another cat.placeholder image

9 precious 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 gorgeous Garfield.

Shaggy was born at the end of September in a home with dozens of rabbits free-roaming. He is a cheeky chap who is going to make the most fabulous house rabbit, assuming you don't mind him poking his nose into everything and helping you unpack the shopping.

Fergus is six months old, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and looking for a home with a bunny girl to snuggle up to. He enjoys head rubs and being hand fed. He can live indoors or out but if indoors he'll need a home that is calm and in a quiet space, away from hubbub, so he can find his paws! If outdoors, then he will be fine to cope with children providing interactions are on his terms.

Caspian (ginger and white) and Elric (black) are castrated brothers no more than 6 months of age. When they came into our care on Christmas Day they were desperately underweight and filthy, having been kept in terrible conditions with insufficient food. The boys deserve a loving home that can bring out the best in them and give them a life they so desperately deserve. If you can offer these shy lads a home together in an enclosure that is a minimum of 5ft by 3ft then get in contact with the RSPCA branch.

At no more than eight months old Puck has a lifeime of love and mischief to share with humans who will adore him as much as he will dote on you. He loves humans and grooming them. He flops with contentment next to you and loves a head rub. He has no qualms about climbing onto your lap and falling asleep for an hour and loves to explore when not doing this. He may be able to live with a female rabbit and with children of a secondary school age.
