Smokey

Smokey is a confident cat. She is very friendly with humans, curious and playful! She likes to be cuddled and to sit with beside you and follow you around the house. She is quite fond of company.

Smudge and Mouse

Smudge and Mouse are timid, but it is possible to pick them up and give them lots of fuss. If they are wide awake it is best to let them play or you will have to chase them room for a cuddle. However, when they are tired they are much more likely to allow you to pick them up and pet them. Smudge is the braver of the two and Mouse waits for him to take the lead in play/feeding. Mouse cries if she cannot see Smudge, and he runs to her rescue. They must be re-homed together for this reason. When it is time to sleep they curl up together in their bed. They are both litter trained.

Teal

Teal is about 10 months old. He is quite playful and loves to chase little bits of paper and string. Once he has tired himself out, he enjoys a good cuddle and will hop up beside you and make himself comfortable. He is friendly and well behaved and any family that adopts him would make be very lucky!

Stinky

Stinky is an extremely affectionate cat. She loves to be cuddled and stroked. She loves lying on the couch next to you, lying on the foot of the bed when you sleep and sitting at the window watching the world go by. She also loves to play with her toys and skitters about chasing balls and toy mice. Stinky is quite talkative and very fond of telling you what she thinks, in no uncertain terms. She would be best suited to a home with plenty of people to converse and play with and no other cats.

Sam and Jasmine

Sam and Jasmine are around 14 weeks old. A big brother and little sister act who truly adore one another. Whilst she might seem fearless, she takes her cues from him. He’s her security blanket and she snuggles up to him and suckles on his chest when sleeping. They are wonderful playmates with lots of energy, so plenty of toys for stimulation. Playing tug of war with long bits of string & ribbon and ping-pong balls are some of their favourite toys. Both love playtime with human interaction and are very amusing. Sam is the first to come a settle down for a cuddle and Jasmine will follow when she’s tired herself out.

Seffie

Seffie is the sweetest little kitten. She is very gentle when playing and she when in the mood, loves to sleep in your bed or on your lap. She has a huge purr and loves to play in the garden and roll in the sand. Seffie does jump up and go over the walls, but soon returns and doesn’t wander too far. She loves playing with other cats and kittens and would be gentle with children as long as they are gentle with her.

Piebald

Piebald is about two years old. He was abandoned by his owners when they left Dubai and rescued by kind neighbours. He is a little shy and likes to hide when he sleeps. Once he’s comfortable he is affectionate and likes to sleep by your feet or on your pillow at night. He has a soft purr and a soft personality. He is great with other cats and would be a great pet for a child and would prefer a quiet home. He needs a loving and patient family and needs a villa where he can come and go as he likes. He is quite vocal and crying is to be expected for the first week after which he’ll settle down. He has been vaccinated, de-wormed, micro-chipped and castrated.

Moppy

Moppy is about three years old. When she was a kitten, she was found with a badly broken leg and bad burns and was taken to the vet by Feline Friends and nursed back to health. She was so scared at first that she hid in a mop bucket for a week before she realized people wanted to give her love. Now she is very relaxed and affectionate when she gets to know you. She is very sweet, talkative and will sit next to you. Moppy will play with anything, even sweet wrappers and likes to sit and sleep or twirl around your ankles. She is an indoor only cat, good with older children, but would probably hide from younger ones. She has had all her shots and has been micro-chipped and been sterilized.

Milly

She is affectionate and loves to be stroked though she has not gotten used to being picked up yet. She can get very excited when being petted so may not be suitable for young children. Milly has had her vaccinations, is micro-chipped and has been sterilized. She is fully litter trained and mainly eats dry food.

Licker

Licker is about two years old. His previous owner very sadly passed away suddenly, leaving him and his brothers with nowhere to go. He is an independent cat, but is also very loving and affectionate. With his distinctive meow, he greets you at the door every time you come home and loves to roll around and rub against your legs. He would be best suited to a home that has some access to a garden or outside yard as he likes to lounge outside in the sun and try to catch moths. Licker never ventures far and responds to his name when called. He is very sociable and enjoys human company and being held for cuddles. Given the chance he will spend the whole evening snuggled up on your lap. He is very gentle with children and likes to stand guard watching them whilst they play. He has also been neutered.

i would like to adopt a pet, but the estate agent will not give me permission to keep a small dog. A neighbour bought a dog and has no such problems as he did not ask for permission.

Well appreciated Gulf News and the people behind saving these poor creatures! I agree with Vineet if somebody could take the initiative to launch an awareness programme in our city.I'm sure many animalovers would join in and support this cause. The plight of animals especially dogs is miserable because of the attitudes of people and some rules. For example, unlike in other parts of the world , having pets in one's house is bound by rules in [some] accomodation contracts , it is stated " pets not allowed" . I simply don't understand why this rule exists even. Why can't they at least permit small dogs in apartments. LIVE and LET LIVE! It is really sad that such a rule exists. I'm sure many people would love to care for these animals but for these rules for apartments! Why don't they stop importing of dogs for sale . This would atleast reduce the number of abandoned dogs. Then , people would not have a chance to have them in the first place to mistreat them ! It's time for people of Dubai to think and act on behalf of these poor creatures.

GN is really doing a great job by bringing out heart rending as well as heartwarming stories about the plight of animals in the UAE. It would be great if GN could launch an initiative where they educate the public especially in schools the respect we should give to all living beings in this world. Everyone is not expected to love animals but we can at least teach people not to be cruel to animals and for those who abandon their pets and leave with no remorse what can one say but Watch out, what goes around comes around If we can form a group where people can educate and create awareness through schools universities about sustainable environment in the UAE, can we not include this in the same initiative? Food for thought, if there are any likeminded people out there, please let us get together and do something concrete
