A rescue centre is looking for a special home for a special cat.

Purrs Cat Rescue is desperately seeking a home for Pixie.

She is around 10-12 months old and was found as a stray with her tail dragging on the ground.

She was taken to the vets and they found her tail had been pulled so hard it had severed the nerves in her tail so she had to have it amputated.

This has sadly left her incontinent, she was in the vets sometime to see if this improved, but sadly this has not been the case.

A spokesman for the rescue centre said: "We are looking for a special home for her - she is very much a people cat, is affectionate and friendly, and very playful.

"She is a purr machine as soon as you pick her up - so so sweet.

"We have been advertising to try and find someone with a home which will suit her special needs.

"As she is so sociable, being a farm cat outside all the time just wouldn't be for her.

"We need a warm loving home where she can be indoors without her toileting issues being a problem, but has regular access to outside to enjoy and to help manage the condition and be loved in the way she deserved after her ordeal.

"As well as trying to spread the word via social media and our website, we have also been in touch with our contacts with other rescues to try and find somewhere suitable - just hoping by getting the word out we can find that special home."
