Two cats who are so shy and retiring, they have been waiting to be rehomed for more than a year.

Three-year-old sisters Coral, who is black and white, and her white and black sibling Cali have been at the RSPCA’s Leybourne Animal Centre since December 2013, after being found living in poor conditions in a house where there were lots of cats.

Cattery supervisor Angelina Allingham said: “Because they are a bit timid, people tend to walk past them - it makes me so sad. People overlook them because they don’t come up to the screen and say hello in the same confident way as some of the others.

“They have been here for more than a year now and so deserve a home of their own.”

Abbi Moon, rehoming operations manager for the RSPCA, added: “It is such a shame as just because a cat is shy in a cattery doesn’t mean they don’t make loyal, sweet-natured and often cheeky and playful companions once they have settled in a home.

“The shy cat won’t go up to any old stranger with their love - it would be especially for you.”

If you are interested in rehoming Cali and Coral, or another shy cat, call the centre on 0300 123 8343 or visit http://www.rspca.org.uk/findapet.
