A County Durham animal rescue has issued a new appeal in their search to find new homes for some of the pets they have rescued.
Deliverance, an animal rescue based in the house of animal lover Christine Kipling in Bishop Auckland takes in all strays from dogs to rabbits and guinea pigs.
The rescue often takes in multiple new rescues a week from across the region that sometimes come in to Christine in devastating circumstances.
Now, Christine is hoping to encourage anyone thinking of adopting to come forward and give one of her rescues a loving home.
Here are just a few of the pets that are looking for a new home from Deliverance - could you offer any of these loving pets a new life?
Bowie
Two-year-old Bowie is a tuxedo cat - and according to Christine is a super friendly little guy.
He came to Deliverance from a colony in Leeds.
She said: "He is beautiful, and such a lovely character. He obviously has had very limited contact with humans but is still so lovely."
Marley
Believed to be related to Bowie, Marley is three and also came from Leeds.
Christine says that Marley is more shy than Bowie, but is friendly.
Janice
Also from Leeds, Janice is "quite the character" according to Christine.
One notable characteristic of Janice is her tongue which is often spotted sticking out her mouth.
Christine added: "all she needs to know is remember what it is like to be loved - and she would make a lovely little house cat".
O'Malley
O'Malley came to Christine from Crook - and is still said to be a little "stressed" from his past experiences.
The five-year-old was said to have been living as a stray and sustained an eye injury from his time on the streets through fighting with other cats.
Astro
On the Deliverance social media page, Astro's loving nature has been summed up by Christine through buzzwords for each letter of his name.
Adorable, special, terrific, remarkable and out of this world.
Christine is determined to find a good home for this little one, as she hopes someone can take him to infinity and beyond.
Anyone interested in any animals from Deliverance is asked to contact Christine on 07894 449580 or get in touch via their social media page here.
