If you have been thinking of adopting an animal, then consider contacting Leicester Animal Aid. We help cats and dogs when their owners are no longer able to care for them. Older animals, like Casper and Bella, who are currently looking for their furrever homes, need to find the right owners to suit their individual needs.

Casper, is a 10-year-old, friendly and gentle natured Domestic Shorthair. Casper can be quite worried in new environments, therefore he is looking for an owner who will give him the time and space he needs to settle in. He loves a good snooze, and would make a good companion on the sofa of an evening. He would need indoor and outdoor access, with a cat flap. It would suit him to be the only pet in his new home, and he could live with teenagers.

Bella, a 12-year-old Jack Russell Terrier Papillion cross, is also looking for a new home. Despite being an older lady, Bella loves her walks and being out and about. She will need to be on a lead, as her prey drive is as spritely as her personality. She loves to play and will happily entertain herself for hours with squeaky toys. Bella would be happy in an adult only home, without any visiting children and for her new owners to be understanding of her quirks.

The Centre is open to visitors every Wednesday and Saturday, between the hours of 10am to 2pm for the Kennels, and 11am to 2pm for the Cattery. You can also visit www.leicesteranimalaid.org.uk to see the other cats and dogs available for adoption and find further information on the adoption process.

Leicester Animal Aid is a rescue and rehoming centre for dogs and cats. Every year, we care for more than 400 dogs and cats who are lost, abandoned, neglected, unwanted or relinquished because their owners can no longer look after them.

We rely on the generosity of people like you to keep our doors open to the hundreds of animals who need our help. Our vision is happy pets in loving, responsible homes.
