Happy Homes...

It is always a happy day when we re-home an animal and it is always great to hear how they are getting on.

Below are some pictures sent in by people who have adopted animals from us.

If you have a picture of your rescue pet you would like to put on the site please either drop it in to the centre, post it or e-mail it to - hmpulane (at) yahoo. co. uk.

Thank you!

Dear All at RSPCA Wallasey Centre Just wanted to send you these pictures of Louie (who we now call Lou), after a rather mad spell yesterday when we first brought her home when she ran madly around the garden and through the house, she has settled down really well there hasn't been an inch of the house that she has not given the once over!  Everyone who has seen her so far has fallen in love with her, our next door neighbours especially!  She seems much more relaxed today and has spent most of the time curled up asleep!  Below are the first of what I'm sure will be many photos of her, but as you can see from the pics she is very relaxed in her new home. Best wishes from Carol, Steve & Neil Grant

Dear all at Cross Lane Just thought I'd let you know my new home is fab. I was adopted 3 years ago when my previous owners decided  my sister and I were not wanted.Well I say its their loss because my new parents love me to bits and I have other friends in my garden as you can see by the photograph.I know  you looked after me well during my short stay with you but there's no place like real home

Hi! we adopted Raspberry (white) off you just before last christmas, we love her to bits and she is the cheekiest rabbit we have ever owned! We introduced her to our rabbit Simba (grey) and they get on very well chasing each other round the run we built them and leaping round like lunatics! thank you so much for looking after her and helping us find her :)

Hi Here are some pictures of DUKE a beautiful tri coloured collie we adopted from cross lane in wallasey. He is just a treasure and we wouldn't be without him, he gets on ok with my cats and other dogs we meet when we go out. Duke especially loves the beach and the sandhills. All the staff at cross lane were really good and very helpful especially ali and kat they taught us a lot about how to walk duke and take leadership. rob and chris

Hello R.S.P.C.A, I have been meaning to write to you for nearly 4 years! We brought Pear(tan and white) and Spice (grey) home in 2004, they have settled in really well and mean the world to us! They love the new run we have just made for them. We sometimes let them have a run in the garden and they run around chasing each other. Pear seems to enjoy it the most because he usually jumps in the air with excitement while Spice lies in the sun! Thanks so much cross lane The Marlow Family XxXxXxX

Hi all at Cross lane, We adopted Titch in January 05, and she settled in really well. She has brought lots of pleasure and is still a stubborn old lady and is still mad as ever. She was quite poorly earlier in the year because she had a twisted stomach, but has recovered very well. Many Regards, Steve Stormes and Theresa Owen-Jones A big WOOF from Titch

Hi Rspca This is Archie (originally Darcy) who we adopted in March 2007! He settled in very well and love his food! He as also now great friends with our other cat! Thankyou For Everything Louise

Hi RSPCA!! I adpoted 2 kittens off you in January, and another in Febuary and I might be adopting another next week!! All 3 have grown to be loving, caring and playful young cats and we all love them more than ANYTHING! Rosie and Jim (black and white) were originally called Peter and Tinkerbell, and Tilly (gigger) didnt have a name because she was a baby. I am so glad we adopted them they are the best ever so i was mailing just to say THANK YOU!!! Love Gemma, Rosie, Jim and Tilly xXxXx

Hi there, I have been meaning to email your for ages to say thank you for letting us adopt our cat CHIP. He came to live with us in September and has been wonderful, he is great fun and we love him to bits. Thanks so much for all that you do, Kind Regards Katherine (and chip who is trying to sit on the keyboard as I type!!)

Hi Everyone! I have had MAGIC (black) and ROLO (brown) for 6 months now. They have settled in very well now, and love to play out on the grass with their toys. I have put small footballs in and toilet rolls which they love to throw in the air. Magic loves my other rabbit, who is called Flopsy. Thanks to everyone who looked after them. ClareXX

We adopted 2 cats from Barra Boarding Kennels in March 2007. They were called Gary and Tony, but we have changed their names to AXEL (Ginger and white) and FREDDY (ginger). We just wanted to let you know that they have settled in fine with us! They are both completely different characters - Freddy is a complete nutter and Axel is the strong silent type! We love them to pieces. Thanks for letting us give them a nice home!

Hi All at Wirral RSPCA Here are some photos of ZINGER (one of gertrudes kittens) who we adopted from you in december, Zinger settled in really well from the moment we got him home, and has continued to rule the roost ever since...He is even sitting on my knee as I type this!! Zinger has made us laugh so much over the past few months with his kitty antics and we love him to bits. Well done for all the hard work you do at the RSPCA Thanks again Gemma and Chris

Hiya. I adopted these three gorgeous little cats (HOMER, CHUNK and TAILS) almost 5 years ago from Wirral RSPCA. I just wanted to let you know that they are really happy still and I love them to bits. Each one has such a different character and I look forward to many more years with them. Best Wishes to You All xxx

I thought you might like to have this latest photo of FLOSS & BOURNVILLE who came to me from you last May. They are the most wonderful pets imaginable and are now housebunnies, as you can see from the photo!

We got REGGIE from Barra over a year ago now and he has settled in wonderfully. We knew he was for us when we first saw him and he was on his back with legs in the air wanting his belly tickled! We were warned that he would hide when we got him home and that we should let him be. We left Reg to it and, after a couple of days of being in the understairs cupboard, he started to explore the rest of the house. He was a little jumpy with us and other visitors at first but now you have to negotiate your way round him as he sprawls out on the landing, bathroom floor, garden path, etc! He has been a fantastic pet and we wouldn't change him for the world, even the name he was given at Barra seemed to suit him (he also gets called 'Perrin' as a nickname). We would like to get him a friend in the future but as he is such a big fusspot, we think he might see them as competition for belly tickles! Lyndsey and Marc

Hi everyone! I brought FLOSS & BOURNVILLE home on Friday afternoon and thought you'd all like to see how well they appear to be settling in. They had spent most of the afternoon in the temporary run ( bigger one arriving on Wednesday or Thursday) doing the usual rabbitty things...dozing in the sun, snoozing in the shade, mowing our lawn(!), and scampering in and out of the boxes before settling down to a prolonged mutual grooming session. I'm sending in a pic of Bournville grooming Floss after she flopped down beside him and nudged him awake! When he stopped, she then started to clean his face and ears. It was lovely to see. I want to thank everyone who helped towards getting these two buns ready for re-homing, with special thanks to Beth who patiently answered all my emails! Hilda

Please find attached an updated photo of my dog TESS. We adopted Tess (originally Peggy) from the Barra Kennels almost two years ago. Just wanted you all to know that she cherished by all the family and has given me so much fun and love, I don`t know what I would do without her. Tess and I walk for 2 hours every day and she also comes running with me so she is very fit, so much so that she was still bouncing after a sixteen mile walk over Easter! Thanks again for the work that you do in rehoming these pets.

We adopted MAX & FELIX (FormerlyToastie & Crumpet) from RSPCA Wirral when they were just two little babies and we believed one to be a girl and one to be a boy, even though we only wanted male cats we couldn't leave one little one alone but they both turned out to be male anyway!! We wouldn't be without them now we love them to bits!

We have had TIGGER for over six months, he settled in within a couple of days. He has never messed or chewed anything in the house and we all love him to bits. He loves our large back garden were he can play football, and i for one would not swop him for the world he is a excellent pal. thank you very much the roberts family

When I first enquired about DIXIE it was explained to me about her 'behavourial problems' and that she was a special girl who was going to need a lot of work, and to be honest I shrugged it off and thought she cant be that bad - can she? After my first visit even though it was interesting and especially after the previous meet and greet visits were explained to me that the fact they had not gone exactly to plan shall we say! I knew instantly she deserved the chance she needed. She has been in sunny North Wales! now for 3 months and is absoloutly loving it. She adores the mountain and the beach and has even managed to get a boyfriend!! which would of been un-heard of when we first got her. She has made such an improvement in such a short space of time and Im so happy. Even though Dixie will always be a handfull I wouldnt change her for the world and I absoloutly love her to bits. I also want to mention that the Wirral RSPCA centre staff are absoloutly fantastic, they have given me so much support and help since I made the first enquiry about Dixie, I cant praise them enough - thank you." James.

 

OLLIE (formerly Chewy) has settled in very well and has become very fond of our family. Me (amy, the animal mad one) does everything for him. I feed him, play with him, cuddle him, brush him and just all round care for him. We have a cat-flap but because he brings dead creatures in, we only let him go out of the cat flap. He is waiting at the cat-flap at 7 o' clock every day for me to let him in and feed him. He then goes up to his bed to sleep for a few hours. When I come home from school I give him a big cuddle and say high to him. Thanks for letting us have a wonderful kitty cat. From the Jackson family. (but amy who sent this in) p.s when he came home he had gingervitus as you no but now it has cleared up for good the vet says!

Here are some photos of my baby boy ELLIOT (formerly known as Dude) who i adopted from the RSPCA in Wallasey in early January 06. He had been in the centre since November last year and as soon as i saw him (with that cheeky face), i knew he was definitely the one for me. Elliot is now 1 year old and is so happy and playful. He loves his toys and we have hours of fun playing together with the ping pong ball . He loves his two sisters (who were also rescue cats from 7 wks old and are now nearly 15 yrs old). Elliot has just had all of his innoculations and is now able to play in his new big garden and i am sure he will have lots of fun running around whilst i am doing the gardening in the Summer. He loves to talk to you and loves his cuddles. Elliot is now going to have the most wonderful happy life with all the love he could possibly wish for. Thank you to all the Staff at the RSPCA Wallasey, you do a wonderful job and have hearts of gold. As an experienced cat lover for more than 20 years it is a privilege to be able to give another animal the beautiful life that they deserve! Hazel

This is ARCHEY (apollo) we have had him for over 12 months now. He's quite a character; he loves our rabbit george and our other cat ruby its just a pity the feeling isnt mutual! Thanks cross lane for letting us have such a lovely cat.

Well BEN'S been living with us for about 6 weeks now and he's very much at home and gets on well with Chance (the black and white one). As you can see we've got quite brave with him and are even letting him off the lead occasionally! Thanks for everything that you did for Ben and we'll send some more photos soon. Nick & Terry

SASSY (Suki) is doing very well. It was a bit touch and go at first as she didn't like any sudden noises and she woudn't let anyone near her so instead she would hide behind the settee on her own. She's been with us now for 6 weeks and is slowly getting used to us by letting us stroke her and letting us go near her without her getting frightened. She is a beautiful cat and we are so glad we have her. Many thanks for all your help.

Thanks Barra staff!

Coleena, who now has the correct Irish spelling "CAILIN" for her name, has settled in to her new home extremely well and today underwent the trauma of having her stitches removed (from her spaying) with equanimity. She really is the most good natured, generous and obedient dog, who is a pleasure to have with us at home. There are still a few rough edges to be taken off, but this will come with time no doubt. Very many thanks to you all for the effort you put in for her...and us! And extra special thanks to all at Barra who were a wealth of excellent advise and common sense. The Wilson household.

When we first rescued SAM (10 months ago) she had a very big problem with other dogs that she meets. Since then Sam has come a long way, we have made excellent progress with her. We take her to dog training twice a week which she is well used to now and can do very well. She is now good with most dogs she meets, including her boyfriend Wilson the Labrador! At the start we could not let Sam of her lead any were we went, which we can do now an she will walk well by our sides. (but she goes back on her lead when other dogs come, just to be on the safe side.) Sam loves going for long runs which we take her for every weekend, with her doogy friend Sally! , she also loves playing football in the garden and playing with 'Mr snake' and 'rubber chicken'. Thankyou.

Thanks Cross Lane!

PADS (left) has been with us two years and is the cheeky one. CONE (right) has been with us for over three years he is more reserved ... a real gent! Both were abandoned outside the Cross Lane RSPCA as kittens (at different times of course). We love them both to bits and getting two was the best decision we ever made. They are both spoilt rotten and are great fun, we are really glad we gave both these great little guys a home

All is going well. JESSICA is becoming softer and softer by the day. She fell asleep on my mum last night and didn't move for over an hour!! Hope you and the bunnies are well. Sue & Danny

Here are a few pictures of QUEST, We adopted him on the 1st April but he's no fool. He settled in and became one of the family straight away. We couldn't imagine life without him. Hes very protective and loyal, yet so loving and gentle. We would like to thank all the staff at Wallasey RSPCA for letting us have him.

Here is out JAI, we got him in Feburary 2005. He has now settled in perfectly and is chewing up every ball in sight, but we love him!! Many thanks to the RSPCA and Simon who looked after him and helped him find a new home :)

We have had PADDY over a year now and can't picture life without him! Paddy was one of the family right from the start and he always will be. He's a big softy and he spends most of his days sleeping but if he's feeling energetic he goes for a play in the garden with our other cat Meg who we also adopted from the wallasey branch. Thanks to everyone at the rspca wallasey brach for giving us such wonderful cats!!! The newall/stewart family.

Here is our little BRAIDIE, who we love dearly and has been spoilet rotten in the 2 weeks we have had her, we are taking her on holiday soon so will have some more pics soon. thanks to Barra boarding kennels for rehoming her to me shes great and has great character. thanks again Gail and Baz

The 1st kiss! Lennon & Fudge when they were first introduced

Several weeks ago we adopted FUDGE from yourselves Happily, the bonding with Lennon was a great success, though we thought we might have problems when Fudge spent the first night in a burrow in the garden! Thankfully, she discovered the hutch the following day and all is well, though despite my filling in the burrow, they both insist on digging it up again every day. She is definately a happy bunny and is a great companion for Lennon.

Here is CHESTER (Flex) in his comfy bed!, this little fella settled in after just one hour of being with us. He is a lovely affectionate boy and has hours of fun with his toy mouse and catnip fish. He loves to sit in his conservatory on critter watch, and is facinated by the birds, squirrels and hedgehogs, the local cat 'frat' keep him amused for hours coming up to see him. Thank you all so much at the R.S.P.C.A. for giving us the opportunity of adopting such a beautiful cat, he is a real pleasure to have with us - keeps us on our toes with all his crazy antics! Can't imagine being without him.

Hi to everyone at the RSPCA This is SASSI (bonnie) look how much she has grown since the last picture we sent!!! We cant imagine life without her and TYLER (blu) now. They are really part of the family. They are about 11 months old and have been with us for about 6 months! Thanks sooooo much RSPCA! Kirstie, Steve, Sian and connie xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is a picture of HEIDI on the very first day she came to live with us. As you can see, she became a member of our family the moment she arrived. She has been with us for one month now and life with Heidi is full of fun. She is playful, loving and lots of fun. Thank you Wirral for letting Heidi come home with us!! The Eakins family.

This is COOKIE, our Springer from Barra in March 02. He is very settled here and loves to chase squirrels and cats. He is very cheeky and will do anything for a titbit. We wouldn’t be without him. The Sears-Blacks

This picture was taken in October 2004 of JAFFA, our German Shepherd (bitch) who has been with us exactly four years, she is now 7 years old. Despite her uncertain start in life and us being her fifth home she settled in quite quickly and is definitely one of the family. We can’t remember life without her now!! She has been a great joy to us and an excellent companion (but as we were told when we took her she still does not like other dogs but is not as bad as she used to be). Thank you The Thompson Family

These are my two beautiful dogs Harry & Sam. Harry is the little brown one, he came from cross lane in wallasey 3yrs ago. He was called hermit then, he was one of chloe's litter. He is so clever and loveable and we would not change him for the world, he loves his baby brother Sam the golden retriever who is so dozy but so so funny. Love from the Steen familyxx

We thought you'd like to see the latest picture of JACK & SKYE, son & daughter of Pineapple. They're settled in very well and love being stroked! They're huge and still growing :) Thanks to everyone who looked after them before we adopted them. Love from Sarah :)

PATCH & LARA came back to the centre in Cross Lane to say hello and show off their new owners!

Here's a photo of AUSTIN on possibly his first holiday by the sea on the Lleyn Peninsula in Wales. He's a true and loyal friend to both myself and my husband. Thanks to Barra Boarding Kennels for taking such good care of him before he came to us! Cathy and Stuart

Here is a picture of TESS (Peggy) who we got from Barra in July. We have had a great time with her and are waiting to start obedience classes together soon. The photo shows some of her extended family on a camping holiday in the Lakes last weekend. Thank You!

SASSIE & TYLER (Bonni and Blu) love their new home. Sassi (Tabby) has really come out of her shell after only 1 week. Tyler (Brown) settled in the minuite he walked through the door. Love to you all in the RSPCA xxxxxxx

BECKS was at Wallasey in November 2002. We have had her nearly two years now and she has calmed down and settled in. She enjoys sitting next to the AGA and playing with her tennis balls.

TAZ (previously Ferret) was very timid when he first came into the centre. He's now happily settled in his new home and enjoys long walks in Royden come rain or shine! He loves playing with other dogs and chasing the squirrels. He's a very quick learner - when there's food involved!
