Mice? Problem solved!

A CAT called Tabby is looking for a new home with a difference.

The three-year-old female is definitely not a lap cat, Steven Carpenter, deputy manager at the RSPCA Animal Home and Shelter in Huncoat advised.

"She needs to go to a farm, a smallholding or stables where she would be a good mouser", he said. "All she needs is a warm barn and regular feeding."

If you can provide Tabby with that much-needed haven you can telephone the shelter on 01254 231118 or call in at Holter House Farm, Whinny Hill Road, Huncoat between 11am and 4pm.

Ostara, the bright-eyed smoke tabby we featured last week, has left Moggies cat rescue in Darwen and gone to a new home in Blackburn where she has already settled well.
