The Canterbury and District branch (Kent, UK) of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) is currently caring for three cats who were rescued from a multi-cat household. Awww. But the thing we really love about this story? All of the cute felines have all been named after musical instruments.

Trumpet, Harp and Cello are all hoping to pull on the heart strings of any potential adopters, as the loveable furry threesome have waited more than three months to find homes after being rescued from a home with more than 40 cats.

‘Sadly, our orchestra cats can be a little shy due to their previous experience and we’re finding that they are being overlooked in favour of cute and friendly kittens,’ explains Natalie Archer from RSPCA Canterbury. ‘However, these young cats have so much love to give and are looking to find a forever home where they can get lots of attention with an owner who can appreciate the symphony of their meows and their love of a good tune-a!’

Meet the three musical moggies

Trumpet

Trumpet

A one-year-old black and white female cat, Trumpet can be a little shy but, say RSPCA Canterbury, she has shown signs of an inner confidence that will bloom once she’s safely ensconced in a home. Neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, Trumpet is ready for her new home. Given a gentle and gradual introduction, she could cope alongside another cat but would not be suitable for life alongside a dog or small children. 

Harp and Cello

Best friends Harp and Cello are hoping to find their forever home together. Sweet-tempered and inseparable, they love their mealtimes and enjoy watching all the goings on from their cat tower. Their curious temperaments mean that they would benefit from a garden to explore.

Trumpet, Harp and Cello are the last in a dynasty of musical cats for whom RSPCA Canterbury has found homes. So far, Oboe, Gong, Triangle, Viola, Piccolo, Kazoo, Harmonica and Ocarina have already found their forever homes.
