This is Habanero, the feisty but friendly rescue cat who’s been searching for a home for several months to no avail.
For reasons the RSPCA team at her East London branch can’t figure out, the poor feline hasn’t received a single adoption application.
They spent months getting to know her and gaining her trust, and they’re very fond of her.
Natalie Chopra, who works at the branch, said: ‘It’s such a shame that Habanero has been overlooked by potential adopters.
‘We have waved off a number of other rescue cats to their forever homes but still this poor girl sits in her cat pod watching and waiting.
‘The personality of this special cat is really unique too – and knowing how a lot of pet owners dote on their animals, we just can’t understand how she hasn’t been snapped up yet.
‘She had fresh chicken for the first time recently and the look on her face was just heart-melting – we just want to find someone who will give her the life she deserves.’
Described as a ‘real character’ with lovely bright amber eyes that definitely make an impression, Habanero can be feisty, but very affectionate and loving once you’ve built that bond with her.
She’ll want an adult-only home, but staff aren’t in any doubt that she’ll make a fantastic little pal for someone looking for a ‘sassy and spicy’ feline with a very soft side.
Natalie said: ‘Habanero has been waiting almost four months in her pen.
‘We know the right home for her is out there somewhere, so we really would love to hear from adults with a comfy, calm and quiet home who are looking for a lovely companion cat.’
