Whether you’re looking for a cuddle companion or a playful pair, these cats could be perfect for you.
Each one is waiting for a new home through Cats Protection.
The charity helps cats find loving families and operates several branches across Essex, including Basildon, Brentwood, Rayleigh, Southend, and Chelmsford.
Mason
Mason is a large, long-haired cat who loves affection and attention.
At six years old, he’s full of character and never turns down a cuddle.
Staff at Cats Protection described him as a "chatty chap" who enjoys being groomed, though keeping his fur tidy can be a challenge.

Due to his size and his need for attention, Mason would not be suited to a home with young children.
He is currently being cared for by the Southend and District branch.
Apollo
Apollo is a sweet-natured kitten looking for a home alongside his brother, Hades.
The pair are affectionate, playful, and ready to explore a new environment together.
Apollo is the more confident of the two and often encourages Hades to be brave.
He enjoys fuss and affection, and helps show his brother that the world isn’t so scary.
Both kittens are being looked after at the Essex Cat Centre.
Hades
Hades is learning to be as confident as his brother, Apollo, who helps guide and reassure him.
He is making good progress and just needs a little more encouragement to come out of his shell.
Both kittens need to be rehomed together so Hades can continue to learn from Apollo.
They are currently with carers at the Essex Cat Centre.
Summer
Summer is a gentle, nearly 10-year-old cat looking for a calm, adult-only home.
She is shy around new people and needs a patient, quiet environment.
Summer would benefit from a safe garden to enjoy, away from busy roads, where she can relax and feel secure.
She is being cared for by the Rayleigh and Castle Point branch.
Mina
Mina is a friendly and loving cat who enjoys attention and will happily sit on your lap or beside you.
She is recovering from a skin condition and will need to continue her prescribed treatment in her new home.
Mina has lived with teenagers before and could do so again, but she needs to be the only pet in the house.
She is currently at the Essex Cat Centre.
