Three cats 'of a certain age' are in need of new owners in the East Devon area.

Bobbie, Marble and Maisie are being looked after at Axhayes Cats Protection, where they are among several waiting for adoption. 

Bobbie is a 10-year-old female who is described as 'very loving, and loves to cuddle'.

"Bobbie loves for you to talk to her and likes to follow you around the house to see what you are up to and chat back! Bobbie can sometimes hiss but it's only because something has worried her, and she soon recovers, this is all part of her endearing nature. Bobbie loves to play with various toys and feather sticks which is a great way to bond with her. Bobbie is very sweet and given the home she needs she will be a lovely cat."

Exmouth Journal: Marble

Axhayes described Marble as 'a handsome older gentleman at 13 years old who has lots of love to offer his new family'.

"He is a sweet, gentle soul who enjoys fuss and a gentle grooming. Marble enjoys chatting to you, gentle play with a rod toy and exploring the garden. He has previously lived with a child so could do so again. He has never lived with another cat, and would prefer to be the only cat in the household."

Exmouth Journal: Maisie

Maisie is 'a beautiful older girl who will come to you for some attention when the mood takes her but she will let you know when she's had enough and wishes to be left alone'.

"Maisie will make a great companion cat in the right home, with experienced owners that are happy to allow her to have her own space at times. Maisie is best suited to an adult-only home with a safe garden where she can relax in the sunshine and enjoy her retirement."
