The RSPCA have released an appeal for a trio of unlucky cats who are having difficulty finding that puurfect home.

One year old Minnie, and brother and sister Rory and Loki were handed into the centre several months ago and have had little to no interest from potential adopters so far.

It is thought that their colour and rising cost of living is deterring people from adopting the three black cats.

Lara Di Virgilio, rehoming coordinator for the RSPCA’s East Berkshire branch said: “It’s a sad fact that black cats really don’t have much luck; we see more of them coming through our door than any other colour of cat, and they always take longer to rehome than their tabby or tortoiseshell counterparts.

“We’d urge people to look beyond what an animal looks like as the colour of their fur makes no difference to how much love they have to give. Although, we also think black cats are absolutely beautiful!

“Black cats like Minnie, Rory and Loki won’t bring you good luck or bad luck but they will certainly enrich your lives, and we’d urge anyone who is thinking of welcoming a rescue cat into their home, to give these three a chance.”

Minnie who was handed into the RSPCA a month ago is described as a particularly affectionate and friendly cat and loves to socialise. Shortly after raising her kittens she was put under the care of the East Berkshire branch.

Brother and sister Rory and Loki, the inseparable five-year-old felines were signed over into RSPCA care in June after their owner could no longer afford to keep them.

They are a very timid pair but love to be stroked and really come out of their shells once they’ve gained your trust and could be rehomed with primary-aged children.
