Laurier, one of four kittens rescued when they were only about a week old, is still looking for a home, along with her sister Saffron.

Now about 5 months old, Laurier is a graceful beauty, but not a difficult one. She gets on well with other cats and will tolerate dogs and, most of all, she loves people.

She is also quite fearless and will even stare a big dog down. Affectionate, sweet and playful, Laurier's best friend is her look-alike sister. They are both stunning brown tabbies with lovely golden flecks in their coats. Both are waiting for someone to pick them up and take them home and add that bit of extra spice to life.
