A YOUNG cat is looking for a new home to help her overcome her fears.

Two-year-old Octavia is waiting for a new family at the Danaher Animal Home in Wethersfield.

A spokesman said: “Octavia is a very sweet girl who is finding everything a bit overwhelming at the moment.

“We are not currently overly hands-on with her whilst she is still settling in and finding her paws but we have no doubt that she will go on to be a very loving girl.

“She needs an understanding owner who can help her to realise that everything is not as scary as it seems.

“She is shy but does enjoy interaction from a distance, so it’s looking like she will go on to become a loving new member of the family once she is settled in a home.

“Due to being a bit shy, she would be better suited to a home with older children.

“Octavia does seem to like other cats, so could potentially go into a home with other cats if they are friendly too.

“She is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and wormed.

“If you feel Octavia is the one for you, we invite you to submit an interest form to us.”
