If you would like a new four-legged friend in your life, perhaps one of these five cats could make the purr-fect pal.
Currently being cared for by the RSPCA Godshill Animal Centre, they are all seeking a forever home.
If you don’t have time for walkies but would like a pet to keep you company and offer affection, a feline could fit the bill.
And if you aren’t in a position to adopt a pet right now, you can still support the centre’s work by making a donation.
