NAJA
the Abandoned
Look at me.
Can you imagine what I feel?
THE CONFUSION, THE LOSS, THE ABANDONEMENT...
Is there any hope for me? Any kindness? A quiet home for me, a gentle and beautiful home cat?
Or will I die of a broken heart?
Is there anybody who will rescue me from other Cats, fear and loss?
Please save me!!!
Carer's comment: Naja was going down rapidly. She was too despondent to eat anything.
She only survives because a feeling carer is fostering Naja to save her life
Naja started eating in the evening of the day she was taken to her foster home. She immediately settled down. However she does not like and hisses at the other six resident cats, so she stays upstairs by herself.
She now looks relaxed and happy. Naja is a quiet cat. She is very thin and her foster parent hopes she will fill up a bit whilst at her home.
Please use your contacts! Help us to find a permanent and good home for lonely Naja soon.

PUPA
a sparkling jewel
am fit! I am fun! I am lovely!!!
I have many moods: sometimes I need to be so affectionate and gentle, at other times very, very playful. I love play acting, e.g. tiger ;-), running and jumping.
Like all young cats I love movement , but I also need quiet times to rest.
Carer's comment: Despite a recent growth burst Pupa is still a teenager, ready for change and long-term commitment. Her already eventful life has not impaired her remarkably sweet and gentle disposition. Pupa is still impressionable, hopeful and quietly confident. She thrives on toys and games! Despite her striking beauty Pupa is a tomboy: curious, adventurous and a fearless athlete.
Pupa's silky, fluffy coat will eventually need help with grooming, especially in the hot weather. With a pair of blunted scissors, patience and a small quantity of freshly cooked succulent chicken breast, you could quite easily become an expert in home grooming.
Pupa is very affectionate, neutered, fit and healthy.
"Parent(s)": Whether it is your first time or whether you are an experienced partner, Pupa is not demanding. Long-term love and caring commitment, as well as space and opportunity for imaginative playing are sufficient Pupa says.
Pupa seems happy almost anywhere. She is not spoilt, but so intelligent that she needs regular attention and Pupa- time. This could be provided in a family, by another cat (see http://www.csafcatsanctuary.org/ Cats looking for a home- Take Two ) or by a "parent" who works from home.

MISHOU - Sweetness and Light
I am as light as a feather. A tiny bundle of fluff and sunshine. I am always in a good mood and I believe you should be in an excellent mood too!!!
n case you are not, I will try very hard to cheer you up. That's how I see my role in your life. I am non stop company, affection and entertainment. Time spent with a Cat is never wasted and I want us to spend A LOT of our time together. BEST time, QUALITY time.
Parent(s): You need to be relaxed. Or really want to have your life changed by Mishou. You cannot be a hurried or driven person. Mishou thrives on your time and affection and if you cannot afford either, Mishou is not for you.
If you are prepared for a life spent TOGETHER, you will have found a treasure.
Carer's comment: Awww, Mishou.
He has so much tenderness and the best sense of humour. Mishou will try any trick to get you notice him. He will play with the broom...Or this most delicate and fragile of Cats will creep up behind you, like a dancer fall into step with you and then suddenly move between your feet. And if you don't want to fall or hurt him, you'll pick him up. Mishou has won. Your heart and your time.
Though he is, one-eyed, tiny and loving, Mishou is a surprisingly dominant tom. Mishou wants to be the number one! So if you want to introduce him to other Cats in your home, do study his behaviour carefully in advance.
If you want to adopt Mishou with company, he has an equally charming, however slightly quieter brother, Gigi, also in the Sanctuary....

Neutered. FIV/FeLV negative. Ca 2- 3 years (???) young.

PLAYMOBIL CAT
30.06,2018
I was found almost suffocated , packed in a playmobil box.
Understandably I am still shy, but friendly and so gentle!
A 2-3 year old tom. Once a house Cat . I am trying hard to keep a safe distance from the more rough and tough Sanctuary Strays.
I am SO grateful for attention, love and care! I would be SO overwhelmed to find a responsible owner!!!
I have been neutered and tested FIV/FeLV negative.
Look at my hopeful, intelligent eyes, feel my dense, silky, fluffy coat!
Will you give me a name, a home and a life???
SPIKEY - Beautiful Ginger Boy
21.06,2018
One dark, cold night early this year young Spike was taken on a surprise car trip. Together with several other ex-house Cats he was driven to another town and they were released in unknown territory vigorously defended by unknown resident street cats. Fight was not the objective of the bewildered, disorientated refugees. They wanted shelter, humans, food. So they called, scratched doors, tried to get themselves noted. What exactly happened remains a mystery, but Spike was picked up seriously injured. He was seen by a vet, received care until he was fit again and was taken to the Sanctuary.
Now one of the abandoned, ex-house Cats, Spikey is still hopeful to be chosen by a committed and responsible owner. He will need support in looking after his lovely, fluffy coat.
Spike is a beautiful, friendly, true ginger with all the wonderful qualities of a Ginger Cat. If you ever knew one, you understand why so many people love them.
Over the past 6 months he had to learn the hard lesson of survival with other cats. Originally a defensive, nervous and bullied youngster he has turned the tables: Spike has learnt to be dominant towards other cats. He needs to be a single cat in a secure and loving home

LOST- AND FOUND.
BRANDON
Chip No 958 00000 1460669
17.06,2018
IS THERE ANYBODY out there who understands a homeless Persian?
Brandon was picked up by Animal Welfare . He has been through a lot. How much he suffered only Brandon can tell. He has a chip number. Where are his owners? Do you know of anybody looking for a middle aged black and white Persian tom?
A Persian cat is not fit for life in the street. They need help with grooming and appreciate care, comfort, routine and reliable affection more than most cat breeds. Nor will they survive in the harsh conditions of our Sanctuary. We do our best, but summer is a testing time with the heat, the dust, the shifts of changing carers.
Brandon has been neutered and tested negative for both FIV and FeLV. He has a lovely, gentle and unique personality. Obviously he is completely bewildered , but bravely tries to get his bearings. Though very quiet, dignified and fond of rest, Brandon can react fast and furiously when provoked by other toms. He might be best as the only tom/cat in the family. Could you help him to find his way into the heart and home of kind understanding owners?
For past successful adoptions of lost and suffering Persians read about Poppy (The British Connection) and Smokey (scroll further up)

Alexis, the Lion Prince - a Cat for all Senses
09.05.2018
Look at me!
I am a prince tricked out of my rightful environment.
Though very young, I'm already magnificent.
I can stand, - firm and beautiful.
I can move, - fast, to the point, effortless and gracefully.
My coat, - long, lush, flame-coloured. Gleaming and always perfectly groomed.
Noblesse oblige.
My tail , - royal, broadly fanned, carried vertically and proudly.
My eyes, - lime green with gold radiating from the center.
My face, - sweet and heart shaped. I can smile.
Listen to me!
All you will hear is my reliable purr, - soft and steady . Hakuna matata, no worries.....
Touch me! Lift me up!!
I am so easy to handle, so gentle and affectionate. Stroke my soft and silky coat, my relaxed and limber body. You'll be surprised how floppy and loose I feel.
Take me home
I am a house cat, born and bred. I belong in your home and in your heart. All I do is searching for you. I will not give up until we finally meet. Don't I touch and stirr your heart?
Carer's comment:
Alexis is an unmistakable, high profile cat, not only because of his stunning looks . In his desperate attempt to find his human match he follows you round, wants to share in your activities, demands attention, affection and body contact, thrives on cuddles and games. Despite his astounding gentleness, sweet temperament and lack of any aggression towards humans, he is desperately dominant and intelligently, persistently and skillfully strives for the number one position amongst cats. Alexis would be happiest and most secure as an only treasured cat. Under his smooth coat hides a lost and frightened teenager, trying to survive in a hostile environment, craving security and love. He cannot afford to show fear, but Alexis' underlying nervousness is resulting in visible weight loss. To save him, he needs understanding, committed owners who will provide a stable, secure home for life. FAST!!! Because even Alexis' energy is limited.
Double take-off?
01.05.2018
The count down started for young but capable Mummy Nala mid-April. Having witnessed the homing of her litter from her hospitable kitten nursery, Nala returned to the Sanctuary. But not without a daughter! The unspoken promise had always been that Nala would keep one of her five kittens. It is lovely and very lucky Baby Rachel who remains in her mother's care.
Nala and ravishing Rachel are ready for take-off into Csaf Cats' highest aspiration: Family life!
Is there space in your heart and home for Nala and Rachel?

NANIA – Beauty in Red
Nania was a lovely family cat once, perfect with children, cherished by their parents, absolutely beautiful in burnished orange. She stood small, but firm, with her lush, fluffy and perfectly groomed coat gleaming. She was a fun cat, a young, playful tomboy, a remarkably patient partner for any child.
Two months later she is only a former shadow of herself, her lively glow has faded..
The huge stress and anger after her transfer to the Sanctuary brought on ringworm which successfully was treated with vaccinations. Her angry, oh so angry soul is far more difficult to heal.
Nania is a fast learning, intelligent survivor, but SO hurt. She runs with the other cats, she will fight for her position, she demands contact from the carers, but even her energy is limited.
Nania needs a loving, deeply understanding and forever home. Will you give her back her trust, her purr, and help her to stand tall again?

MIMI - so much more than meets the eye
You cannot go wrong with Mimi. She is a lovely individual, the perfect companion for a discerning and understanding owner. Seemingly withdrawn she observes you constantly, secretly hoping for attention and affection. She appreciates good (!) food and as soon as she trusts you she will respond happily to calls and caresses. Sudden hisses should be respected, but not taken too seriously. Either you have transgressed invisible barriers or in her happy excitement emotions have short circuited. Just withdraw quietly and give Mimi time and space to settle down. She is a lady with charme and character: a loyal, capable and attractive cat who will turn accomodation into a home. Any cat lover will enjoy to gradually draw Mimi out.
