Appeal by Little Irchester charity to re-home three-legged 'ginger ninja'

A cat which lost a leg after it was shattered beyond repair is looking for a new home.

Scotty is just 10-months-old but has already had a lot to deal with in his short life so far.

Despite losing a leg, he is described as super friendly and 'purrfect' for anyone looking for a new pet.

Animals In Need in Little Irchester is currently looking after Scotty until a new home can be found for him.

Annie Marriott from the charity which has been rescuing and re-homing animals across Northamptonshire for 30 years said: "Meet the very handsome Scotty, he is a 10-month-old ginger ninja super friendly 'purrfect' boy.

"This chap only has three legs, sadly the home he was in hit him with a metal bar shattering his leg beyond repair.

"He would love a quiet home where he will receive oodles of love."

Anyone who would like to re-home Scotty can email [email protected] for more details.
