Can you help rehome any of these seven beautiful cats? The RPSCA Lincolnshire Mid & Lincoln branch has launched a campaign to find homes for animals that have been in its care the longest, including these special cats.
Seven cats at the branch are ‘long-termers’, six of which are bonded pairs and would love homes together – Cagney & Lacey, Eddie & Emily, Josephine & Jezzebel, and a tabby cat called Saga.
These cats came into the branch’s care from terrible conditions and situations. They were all checked by vets and found to have a condition called ‘Coronavirus’. Coronavirus is a type of virus that typically affects the respiratory tract of mammals.
Carla Jones, Branch Trustee, said: “Many cats have coronavirus, your own cats have probably been exposed to it at some point.
“These little guys in our care have had a really rough run of it which is why they have been so poorly, but it is unlikely to have a long term impact on them.”
All of the animals are housed at Ruskington Kennels, situated between Lincoln and Sleaford. Anyone who feels they could help by adopting any of these special cats should contact them on 01526 833977. Further information can also be found here.
Cagney & Lacey
“Cagney and Lacey are sisters who act like they are still kittens. They are always rushing about chasing each other, but will also sit on you for a good fuss.”

Eddie & Emily
“Eddie and Emily rely on each other and are often found cuddled up together. They also play together like kittens. Eddie is as soft as they come. Emily is a bit shy until she gets to know you and then she likes a good fuss too.”

Josephine & Jezzebel
“Josephine and Jezzebel are inseparable. They are very quiet cats who would love to spend their time being lap cats. They are always found sharing a bed together.”

Saga
“Saga demands attention and fuss. She likes to paw you and loves rolling around to show her bell off. She was feral, but now she’s just a show off.”

Adoptober
As the charity enters Cat Week as part of its month-long rehoming drive Adoptober, it revealed that RSPCA inspectors rescued the equivalent of more than 60 cats per day – or 22,000 over the whole year.
New statistics show that the RSCPA rescued more cats than any other animal in 2018, including 531 in Lincolnshire, as a result of calls to its national cruelty line.
In 2018, the RSPCA managed to find new homes for 23,893 cats – more than 450 every single week. A total of 372 cats were rehomed in Lincolnshire.

The 32-year-old man and 30-year-old woman arrested in the murder probe of an 11-year-old boy in Lincoln have both been released on police bail, without any charges.
The man was arrested on suspicion of murder and the woman on suspicion of manslaughter after an incident at a house on Geneva Street on St Giles in Lincoln.
Police were called to the house at 10pm on Friday night, January 22.
The 11-year-old boy was found unwell at the scene and was taken to hospital for treatment.
He was pronounced dead a short time later.
At the time Lincolnshire Police said the death was unexplained and it was treated as murder.
The man and the woman arrested at the weekend were released on police bail on Monday evening.
Lincolnshire Police said in a statement on Monday night:
“Once again, we’d like to remind people that this is an active investigation and that an 11-year-old boy has sadly lost his life.
“Speculative comments are not only deeply upsetting to those involved but can potentially undermine our investigation.
“If you have any information that can help, call 101 or email [email protected] quoting incident 472 of January 22.”
Ten people from Boston have been given fines for breaching COVID-19 regulations by driving dangerously in supermarket car parks.
Officers were called after three separate reports of dangerous driving in the car parks of Lidl and Tesco in Wyberton Fen, as well as on Marsh Lane Industrial Estate in Boston.
All three incidents took place and were reported to police between 5pm and 6pm on Sunday, January 24, though it is unsure if they were connected at all.
When officers arrived, the drivers were seen doing donut manoeuvres and racing in the snow.
A total of 10 people were given £200 fines for breaking lockdown guidelines, but this will be reduced to £100 if paid within 14 days, due to all being first time offenders.
As well as the COVID-19 fines, two of the vehicles were also seized as a result of being uninsured, with drivers reported.
A traffic offence report was also submitted after one driver was seen to be driving not just dangerously but out of control.
Inspector Fran Harrod of Lincolnshire Police said: “We would like to thank the public for bringing these incidents of dangerous driving to our attention.
“This is not only extremely dangerous to those taking part but to others in these areas.
“While we continue to engage and explain with the public, this was a blatant breach of the restrictions which will not be tolerated.”
