AN EXPERIENCED cat owner is needed for 10-year-old Louie.

The Worcester and District branch of Cats Protection says the black male was found as a very nervous stray, having been shooed away from everywhere.

Lynn Glaze, branch co-ordinator, said: “Louie has obviously been a pet at some stage. He enjoys a fuss but will let you know when he has had enough.

“Ideally he needs an experienced owner who will allow him time to settle in at his own pace.

“Although we do our very best to care for older cats, life in a cat pen is no substitute for a permanent home,” said Mrs Glaze.

If you can offer Louie a loving home, call 01905 820348 or visit worcestercats.org.uk.

The branch can also provide help with neutering costs for those on benefit or very low incomes.
