Patch (RSPCA Essex South, Southend & District Branch)
Patch’s joy is irrepressible! He loves zoomies in a field, getting fusses and he especially loves meeting people. He would like a home with adults (perhaps teenagers) and no other pets, simply because it’s unknown how he is with other pets indoors. He wants good company, walkies and love!
