The Isle of Wight's branch of the RSPCA is asking for your help to find Alvin the ferret a forever home.

Alvin came into the care of the Island's branch with his two brothers, Simon and Theodore - named after the famed Hollywood chipmunks. 

Sadly, both brothers have since passed away due to health issues.

Since losing his brothers, Alvin is incredibly lonely and desperately seeking a retirement with other ferrets to snuggle with.

A spokesperson from the IW RSPCA said: "Our Smalls Team are absolutely spoiling Alvin rotten and spending lots of time with him (when he's awake), but they're desperate to find him a forever home!

"If you would love to welcome Alvin into your family, please email the team at small.animal@rspca-isleofwight.org.uk

"Rest in peace, Simon and Theodore. We all miss you!"
