Here at The Star, we often bring you a round up of lonely dogs who need a new home from across South Yorkshire’s animal shelters.
But there are no end of moggies in the county who also need a forever home of their own.
Animal charity Thornberry Animal Sanctuary currently have 20 cats in their care, including three bonded pairs, that were either given up by their former owners or were found wandering the streets.
They include characters like Coco Owno, a beautiful older girl who at 13-year-old was found stray but loves a cosy sofa.
Or maybe you can bring home Rocky and Porsche, the perfect duo - one brave, one soft, one confident, one calm. Together they’ll bring any home to life and make perfect companions.
Maybe what you need is a mouser - Ebony the black cat has had a hard time of it and won’t be called anyone’s lap cat, but with a farm or rural home to roam she would make an amazing mouser and working cat.
Take a look at these charming cats available at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary and see if any of them could bring their unique character to your home. Alongside each of their pictures is a link where you can learn how to adopt them.

1. Bring one of these cats home
Here are 20 cats looking for a lap to lie on at Rotherham's Thornberry Animal Sanctuary, | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
2. Amber, a "graceful, one-of-a-kind" tabby
"Amber is a stunning tabby lady with soulful eyes and a quiet confidence that hints at her life experience. Found as a stray, she’s clearly a cat who knows the outdoors and would love a home where she can enjoy safe outdoor access —think secure garden, free roam or a quiet area where she can soak up the sun and fresh air on her own terms. If you’re looking for a graceful, one-of-a-kind tabby to share your life (and garden) with, Amber might just be your perfect match." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/amber/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
3. Floss, a "friendly people-loving cat with lots of love to give"
"Floss is a lovely 3-year-old boy who is full of charm and personality. He has previously lived with children of all ages and is comfortable around dogs, as well as smaller animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. Although Floss has never lived with other cats, he has shown himself to be a confident and adaptable companion. Floss has enjoyed outdoor access in the past and will need this to be provided in his new home once he is settled. He is a very affectionate boy who absolutely loves fuss and attention — especially if a tasty licky treat is on offer! Floss would make a wonderful addition to a home looking for a friendly, people-loving cat with lots of love to give." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/floss/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
4. Woody, a "lovely young lad with so much potential"
"Woody is a gentle 8-month-old boy who came into our care alongside his friend Kate. Woody is a little more shy than Kate and can take a bit of time to feel confident in new surroundings, but once he settles he shows his sweet and affectionate side. He would benefit from a patient, understanding home where he can build trust at his own pace. Woody has had outdoor access previously and will need this to be provided in his new home once he is settled. He is used to being around other cats, dogs, and children, and with calm introductions he should adapt well. This lovely young lad has so much potential and will make a truly rewarding companion." - https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/animals/woody/ | Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
