Here is a selection of animals from the RSPCA branches in Essex and the affiliated Danaher Animal Home who are looking for a forever home.

There are some animals from the Essex South, Southend & District branches, the South West branch and the Danaher Animal Home. 

If you think you would be able to rehome one of them go to either the Essex South, Southend & District branch, the South West branch, or the Danaher Animal Home website for details.

You can also donate to charities to help them carry on their rescue work at the same websites.

Age - Two years old

Breed - Domestic Shorthair crossbreed

Colour - Ginger and white

If you want to adopt Clementine you can view their full profile here.

Clementine is a cat who is described as having a "larger-than-life personality" and will need an owner that is able to dedicate a lot of time and love.

Additionally, she is very playful and loves nothing more than curling up on a warm lap.

The RSPCA adds: "Clementine has a heart condition which she is on medication for and is unable to go outside because of this so she will need to strictly be a house cat in a one-cat household."

Oreo and Ellie are described as being fairly confident around people already, but Oreo will need some time to get settled in a new environment.

Both are not fully litter trained yet, so an outdoor home is considered a good option, but with a bit of training, they could live indoors also.

They are considered suitable for first-time owners and families with young children.

Gem

Gender - Female

Age - Eight months old

Breed - Saluki crossbreed

Colour - White and brown

If you want to adopt Gem you can view their full profile here.

Gem is a dog who came into the care of the RSPCA with limited history and is now looking for her forever home.

She is described as being cautious and shy but given time and patience she is likely to be a joy around the home.

The ideal home for Gem would be a patient one, where she can get used to a routine and be left alone for short periods.

Children in the home should be of secondary school age and any resident dogs to be calm (pending a successful meet).
