Branston

Meet Branston, a shy and nervous soul looking for a patient and understanding home where he can blossom in his own time. Right now, he’s feeling very shut down, so he needs experienced owners who will give him the space and reassurance he needs to build confidence. A quiet home with a spare room where he can settle in at his own pace is essential, as he may take a while before he feels ready to explore further. Branston may never be a bold or outgoing cat, but with time, patience, and a gentle approach, he has the potential to grow into a more confident companion.
Branston will be accepting interest until Friday the 4th of April, and at this point the rehoming team will invite a potential adopter to meet them. Please email or call and leave a voicemail if you are already registered and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We will endeavour to consider all new applications but, due to high demand we cannot guarantee that we will be able to register you by a certain date.

More details about Branston

To avoid Branston wandering back to his previous home, he cannot be rehomed to parts of Royal Wootton Bassett. He came from a quiet residential area with some nearby roads, so he should have good road sense when he’s ready to explore the outdoors.
