Meet Mila and Mischa, the two-year-old rescue cats, they are sisters and the best of friends. They love to watch Cat TV on YouTube, and are quite partial to a Disney film. Being rescue cats they were incredibly timid when they first joined the family but they have grown in confidence and are now very curious and mischievous – as seen in the photo!

Our SSPCA pet of the week is Holly! Holly is a very sweet Staffordshire bull terrier cross looking for her forever home.

Initially she appears very timid and unsure of anything new, particularly when she is in her kennel where she will try her best to hide away from everyone. However, when she gets out and about on her walks she really comes to life and her friendly nature is evident.

Holly absolutely adores the company of other dogs and they seem to give her even more confidence. Therefore, she would love to find a new home with a canine companion that can keep up with her playing!

Due to her nervous side she will need a patient new owner with a quiet home to allow her time to come out of her shell. Although once she is settled in a home, away from the kennel environment, it may not take too long for her cheeky side to shine through.

If you can give Holly her new home visit: https://www.scottishspca.org/rehome-a-pet/9688-holly
