RSPCA golden oldies looking for loving homes

Shady is an eight-year-old tabby

Shady and Basil are living at RSPCA NSW’S Behaviour and Rehabilitation Centre at Somersby and have an abundance of life to live and love to give to the right owners.

A spokesperson said Shady is an eight-year-old tabby who loves nothing more than watching the world go by from his comfy window perch and playing with his favourite rainbow spring toy.

“Though a little shy around new people, he becomes quite the cuddly love-bug once he gets to know you better,” the spokesperson said.

“His neighbour, Basil, is another gorgeous tabby fond of snoozing the day away.

“Unlike Shady, this eight-year-old girl prefers a more independent lifestyle with someone who can shower her with affection and attention on her own terms.

“While Basil may not be as playful as Shady, she still enjoys the occasional game, particularly if it involves chasing after a toy feather or two.

Basil enjoys the occasional game

“Both Shady and Basil have faced their fair share of challenges, including the loss of their teeth.

“Despite their dental woes, these resilient felines have not let their circumstances dampen their spirits.

“Instead, they have emerged with a new appreciation for life’s simple pleasures, such as delicious roast chicken, soaked biscuits, and all the soft treats they can eat.”

Both cats would suit a quieter, calmer household.
